Bold and defiant movements amass tensions dictating a contortion in an emotive reaction that at times bends the psychological perspective of Summer as Sonae’s sonic narrative cultivates arcs within mesmerizing chapters.
Reviews
Alavux :: Radio Astronomy EP (Woodwork)
A heavily sandblasted electro techno release that fully encapsulates itself in a thick fog.
Brainquake :: Excess Denied (Mahorka) — Double video premiere
Excess Denied by Brainquake (there’s a genre in itself), is the latest album on Bulgaria’s Mahorka—a splintered post-industrial, broken beat smorgasbord of synths, vocals, and downtempo extrusions.
Colloboh :: Entity Relation EP (Leaving)
Colloboh asserts himself as a no-nonsense contender of electronic music composition utilizing modular synthesizer. Entity Relation is a 5-track EP available on Leaving Records that will certainly be doing the rounds for years to come.
Russian Corvette :: Forever Endeavor (Unit Shifter)
A powerful, playful, and punctuated album set to rattle the braindance community. Fans of Velum Break, Nike_Vomita, Repeat Eater, Buspin Jieber et al, will easily find comfort with Forever Endeavor.
LPF12 :: Appear (Self Released)
A long-time contributor to the dark ambient community with tinges of cinematic soundscapes and industrial shards, LPF12 (aka Sascha Lemon) continues to extrapolate beats and far off spaces with Appear.
Serge Geyzel & Karsten Pflum :: EP2 (Specimen)
The duo manage to unearth a myriad of high-energy tracks that burst at the seams—both solid and shape shifting through outer realms.
Hitori Tori :: Lost With Confidence EP (Concrete Collage)
Lost With Confidence unpacks a wide assortment of glitchy and spastic beatwork, often relying on creative bits and pieces that snap, fizzle, and burst into hundreds of disjointedly spellbinding electronic music from the outer edges.
MULTI-VIEW :: Past Inside The Present (in the past…)
Documenting the drift at the margins, a look back at Past Inside The Present’s showcase of the state of the art of ambient dronescaping, focusing on selected works from earlier in the year that may have gone under your radar.
aAirial :: As Above So Below (Rednetic)
Simplicity and calm electronic music from France via UK, aAirial delivers tranquil notes and delicately evolving tones front to back on the latest full-length for Rednetic.
E J R M :: The Old Way EP (Labile)
All the thoughts that emerge during the listening experience is most definitely in perfect synchronization with its title—The Old Way, and indeed the song titles themselves. The atmosphere and thought-provoking compositions capture each moment perfectly.
