The result is captivating, thoughtful, emotive, strange, and navigating through cerebral sound waves, smooth atmospherics, moody-esque sculpted improvisations to radical rhythmically-orientated and almost glitch-like experimentations.
Reviews
Pearl River Sound :: You have to love yourself a fire (Evel)
You have to love yourself a fire surrounds itself by a plethora of abrupt breaks and distorted electro-nics; going on several tangents with low-flowing synth sections complemented by precision audio plateaus.
Greg Davis :: Full Spectrum 3/7 (Autumn)
The sensation is not of a linear event but a cyclical one, constantly ebbing, flowing, evolving and repeating. In these pieces Davis seeks to enfold, embrace and uplift the listener with these enveloping works.
Colin Andrew Sheffield :: Moments Lost (Sublime Retreat)
Psychic functions, postmodern poetical romanticism and paranormal phenomena are summoned to generate an absorbing, menacing, dreary, ecstatic and eerie cinematic experience.
Kettel & Secede :: When Can (Deluxe Edition) (Lapsus, Perennial Series)
And so we come to When Can, the strangely enigmatic and oft-overlooked collaboration between Kettel and the equally elusive Secede. I’ll admit to being as surprised as I was delighted when Lapsus announced its reissue as a deluxe vinyl edition because it’s an album I adore, so much so this is now the third time I’ve written about it.
Farron :: Feal (Shaw Cuts)
If you’re in the mood for good modern IDM, Feal has got plenty. More specifically, if you want to put on a record and be sure it offers something valuable from start to finish, Feal has also got plenty of that. If you want a good amount of variety, Feal is where you should be headed.
Bernhard Living :: From Here to There (Self Released)
One of the many experimental three-track records from Bernhard Living, From Here to There is yet another exploration of tonality and thought.
DFKT :: Armagideon Machines EP (Dystopian Dub Discotheque)
Armagideon Machines is a robust EP pushing forward with sandblasted rhythmic dark-ambient dub strands from the farthest reaches of our universe, and is a treat to consume in one take.
Pentagrams Of Discordia :: Teleportation to Gliese12b (Sounds Of Discordia)
Fluttering beats dissolve within ambient ice sheets, blurred samples, found sounds, and expressive atmospheric shadows that lurk in the background, encapsulating the entire cosmos in a drifting musical mashup.
Nuron :: DAT Tapes Vol 02 (De:tuned)
Interestingly, DAT Tapes Vol 02 casts light on a style that Jusat is not known for. There are moments of his trademark techno, but it is a more floor centric house that is at the heart of the record. The depth of previous productions is less evident, the explorations on offer being more rhythmic than melodic.
Tapage & Espoir :: Descended Hope (Ant-Zen)
There’s a rolling, inchoate feel to Descended Hope that gives way to perceiving and understanding the subtler transitions in the pieces.
