A two-part voyage into the sublime is achieved through a fusion of styles, expansive ambient sound sources, drifting synths, and gentle guitar tones.
Reviews
Squarepusher :: Dostrotime (Warp)
Dostrotime strikes with bold tracks that are not afraid to go all in, whether that’d be with their explosiveness, intricate live playing, or insane drum spasms.
Rafael Toral :: Spectral Evolution (Moikai / Drag City)
This album sees Rafael Toral manipulating various sound sources to create a vast piece that goes through really, really slow chord progressions, but echoes with such wonderful textures and dynamics that it becomes almost transcendental.
Keith Fullerton Whitman :: Presque Là (Self Released)
The use of the standard music trifecta of bass, drums, and melody does ground these pieces in the familiar, yet the way Keith Fullerton Whitman has broken these out of their mold means what he is doing is still risky and groundbreaking research.
Constant Current :: Inside EP (People Can Listen / Ezhevika)
Constant Current unveils this five-track extended player with fast-moving acoustic acrobatics mixed with ambient streams of subconsciousness and timid melodies immersed in electrically charged layers.
Hooligan :: No Sight EP (Renraku)
A clever three-piece suite of braindance and slow-motion breakcore layered funk.
The Dubnihilist :: Friday 22:05 EP (Dystopian Dub Discotheque)
The Dubnihilist returns with five tracks of dense downtempo dub techno; Friday 22:05 has four versions of the title track—two of which are remixes by Mono Peninsula and Autonomaton
Soul Data Transfer :: Soul Data Transfer EP (EC Underground)
The four tracks on Soul Data Transfer’s eponymous debut EP for ECU are delicately woven, abstract ambient-glitch morsels that flow and transcend space and time.
