This is a meticulously crafted, forward-driving collection—an expertly executed display of machine soul and rhythm science. Luke’s Anger, it seems, is sharply dialed in.
Reviews
Nazar :: Demilitarize (Hyperdub)
Like Nazar himself in the lyrics, Demilitarize appears inaccessible at first, using its abstraction and deconstruction as a shield. But a strong light still shines through this shell and sinks in a bit at a time, first with circumspection, then with warmth, until opening itself to repeated listens and blooming in all its beauty and intention.
Ndorfik & madebyitself :: Solos EP (People Can Listen) — [concise]
An elegant dialogue between nostalgia and nuance, where electronic music breathes with a steady, human pulse.
France Jobin :: Modulisme Session 123 (Modulisme)
In a series that has already delivered so many innovative performances, Jobin’s contribution feels both essential and personal. Modulisme Session 123 is a fascinating addition to her already stellar discography and a testament—proof that in the right hands, modular synthesis can become pure poetry.
Vague Lanes :: Divergence And Declaration (Viasonde / Swiss Dark Nights)
The second coming of Vague Lanes (aka Mike Cadoo and Badger McInnes) comes as a moody, dark, and also insanely catchy collection of darkwave tunes. The group nails the one thing I always appreciate when listening to music: the foundations. If your grooves aren’t solid, there’s a good chance the music is going to fall flat.
Aidan Baker :: & You Still Fall In (Gizeh)
Known for his prolific output and textural sensitivity, Baker delivers one of his most resonant and affecting works to date—a slow-burning, immersive experience that quietly commands attention.
Aelk Minsur :: Want For Naught EP (Self Released)
The entire work pulses with a hauntological current, drawing from distant memories yet telling a story utterly untold. With warped instrumental frameworks and surreal compositional craft, Aelk Minsur and Devvin Giorgio prove themselves as masterful architects of otherworldly sound.
Moat Bells :: Nap Bud (A Person Disguised As People)
Gently corroded synth figures, filtered field recordings, and soft tape hiss assemble into scenes that feel lived-in rather than composed. These aren’t tracks in the traditional sense so much as zones—delicate, slow-form atmospheres tuned to the rhythms of stillness and peripheral awareness.
Kettel :: Dubio (Aquatic Ape)
Every bit as eclectic, nuanced and playful as all of his previous work, Dubio is still Kettel, but reforged in a glittering new image. One that takes time to slither into the subconscious, but grows more compelling with each listen. One that compels a reevaluation of his entire oeuvre.
Oberman Knocks :: Vhoid-tek Rhoutes EP (Schematic)
Twisted and askew, yet irresistibly magnetic, Oberman Knocks delves ever deeper into fractured electronic frequencies, drawing us into his richly textured realms of intricate, noise-laden trajectories.
Monolake :: Gravity (Reissue) (Field) — First vinyl pressing
Monolake explores the earth and the heavens as well as man’s place in them, their soundtrack being sculpted with daring simplicity to achieve complexity and intricacy of expression and form.
