The high-octane drill’n bass maestro keeps pushing the envelope, incorporating sandblasted acid-electronics and off-center rhythms in this heavyweight five pack manifest.
Reviews
Rontronik :: Zero Eight (Tygr Rawwk Rcrds)
Zero Eight pulls off a rather satisfying mix of noise, ambient, and experimental electronica. The way the record is constantly shifting into new ideas makes it really engaging from front to back, but so does its claustrophobic atmosphere.
Sommerfeld :: Expansion EP (Ryu)
It is easy to get entrained on these beats, and they have just the right level of aggression to appease fans of noise and post-industrial music as they would those who are just in it for the pure power of the pulse that hits like a lightweight spinning a punching bag.
Heiki :: Valley Beyond (Suction)
Heiki Sillaste draws on his industrial roots while riffling through ambient, electro, house and techno. He selects elements from these varied genres with such a discerning ear that his compositions are never cluttered nor crowded.
Fragile X :: Halcyon Maze EP (Intellitronic Bubble)
Fragile X’s audio work is a delightful discovery, as demonstrated by Halcyon Maze in particular with Iceland’s prolific IDM, electro, and techno imprint Intellitronic Bubble.
Tomoroh Hidari :: Depth Sounding (Live at Hofburg, Vienna) EP (bruitversum)
After years of keeping us on the edge of our seats, on his live recording for bruitversum, Tomoroh Hidari returns with an EP aptly-titled Depth Sounding consisting of four tracks ranging in length from four to seven minutes.
Inquiri :: See You Someday (Past Inside The Present)
You can hear a lot of pure ambience on See You Someday, however, most of the time it is infused with ambient pop aesthetics, some big string arrangements, and straight up psychedelia.
Gridlock :: The Synthetic Form (Remaster/Reissue) (Viasonde)
The music of The Synthetic Form belies a humanity in its inception that gives it a timeless, powerful sound.
