This body of work stands as a singular achievement—uniting fractured percussion, deep low-end gravity, and razor-sharp production. Each piece resonates simultaneously as a cohesive statement and a series of singular visions.
Reviews
rinse.repeat :: Machines like Candy Too (Clean Error)
Across this collection of concise compositions, modular synthesizers stretch and twist, weaving intricate strands of melody beneath tough, textured Skittles-like surfaces.
William Fields & Synalegg :: Illcom (Evel) — [concise]
William Fields & Synalegg form an unorthodox alliance—uncanny, compelling, and persistently on the frontier of rhythmic evolution. Their union reshapes auditory terrain, an enigmatic dialogue between circuitry and emotion.
Nobuka :: Monologue Intérieur (Audiobulb)
Monologue Intérieur takes a more intimate, solitary path—rooted in daily life, field recordings, and almost post-Cage-like sparse and fragile piano sequences.
Andrey Kiritchenko :: Rust Trust EP (POLAAR) — [concise]
Ukrainian producer Andrey Kiritchenko, a deft multitasker, revisits early rhythmic IDM roots on Rust Trust, blending fleeting beats with subtle vocal flourishes.
Urschaum :: Dimensional Transient (Component)
These are soundtracks for forgotten horizons—the kind viewed distinctly on the project’s cover—where each composition unfolds in barren sequences of industrial hum, muffled turbulence, distant resonance, and vast auditory plateaus that seem to stretch without end.
Day Before Us :: Dim Shores of Eternity (Les Nouvelles Propagandes)
A culmination of everything Day Before Us has cultivated over the past decade, while venturing into even more radiant, immersive terrain. For listeners willing to let go and drift in its pull, Dim Shores of Eternity is one of the most beautiful and haunting releases of the year—a spiritual monument built from silence, sorrow, and sublime sound.
Big Blood :: Electric Voyeur / Instrumental (Dontrustheruin)
By operating outside of the playlist protocol, Big Blood have once again given us something that goes beyond the test of temporary style. This is music for deep listening in the deep time of Deep Maine, and it shall abide.
Zavoloka :: ISTYNA (Prostir) — [concise]
Industrial sediment spreads across six distinct pieces by Ukrainian composer and sound sculptor (Kateryna) Zavoloka.
Contagious Orgasm :: Behind Closed Doors (Ant-Zen) — [concise]
As always, Contagious Orgasm proves vital and restless—an enduring force in experimental audio since the late ’80s, still conjuring chaos and cohesion from the unruly tide of avant-garde electronics.
V/A :: Fauna, curated by Ocoeur (n5MD)
Designed to awaken compassion and connection, this collection reminds us that every species has its place—and right—on this planet we collectively call home.
