Possibly one of the top EP’s of 2024, Mastrapa finds a cozy spot to stitch beats, bass, and blistered distortion as atmospheric electro layers weave deeply into the fabric of distant memories.
Reviews
DoorHead :: 0pen22 EP (Not Yet Remembered)
A superbly designed extended player with detailed, granular sonic extensions to make us all feel at ease. Ethereal drones and finely delineated IDM morsels DoorHead’s […]
XXU & UXX :: [channel] (Katabatik)
Intentionally multidirectional, incorporating a lot of influences and original elements to deliver something catchy, unsettling, and moodily atmospheric, “[channel]” encompasses a punchy doom-laden hypnotic dancing trip punctuated by ominous ambient textures of sci-fi cinematic quality.
Jos Smolders :: Textuur 1 [number 1-9] (Moving Furniture)
Some albums get your brain working. You’ll plant some conceptual seed in your mind, and you start thinking or even philosophizing. It depends on the planted seed, how your brain works, mental (dis)abilities, and, oh yeah, the amount of coffee you had that day.
Second Seasons :: Density of Traction (Schematic)
In July 2024 the seminal Schematic label released the Brooklyn-based artist’s 12-track album called Density of Traction, a complex piece of art, rich in detail and far from following any common music patterns, which Autechre and Gescom lovers should listen to.
REVANT :: MOSS EP (Self Released)
MOSS provides a gripping and thoughtful listen. Mellow, ambient, relaxing and electroacoustic—hopefully there is more to come from the Mumbai, India-based musician.
V/A :: Artist Showcase – 5th Edition (Point Source Electronic Arts)
Establishing a benchmark for high-definition electronic experimentation, US-based Point Source Electronic Arts explores expansive landscapes steeped in post-industrial terrain, striking a balance between explosive glitch mechanisms and delicate atmospheric textures.
Relativity Lounge :: zero-sum EP (Satellite Trax)
Everything about this zero-sum EP radiates talent, from the grooves, to the effortlessness of the transitions, to the bangers, it’s really impressive.
Ocoeur :: Breath (n5MD)
Breath shines both as an ambient record and as a blend of both ambient and classical, not solely because of the instrumentation utilized, but also because of these really big powerful climaxes that make up for the record’s most engaging moments.
Kilometre Club :: Earnest Tub (Imaginary North)
So even though Kilometer Club is doing something new by making electronic ambience the length of something you would hear by the Minutemen or The Germs, it is still long enough at the album level to be considered long form. That’s the paradox: an epic odyssey taken in brief snapshots. There is something very earnest about this approach.
Anders Ilar :: Tallinn Acid Tracks EP (Acid Lathe)
Produced by Anders Ilar in 2015 while in Estonia, Tallinn Acid Tracks is out now via Acid Lathe—an experimental sub-label of Yard Rec—on a limited edition 4-track clear square 8” vinyl made individually on a lathe cutting machine.
