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.
Derrick Stembridge, with over two decades of experience composing ambient music and scoring films and television, brings his expertise in crafting expansive soundscapes to this collaboration. Partnering with w-berg adds new depth and texture to the project, marking a significant evolution for both artists.
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.
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.

There’s a rolling, inchoate feel to Descended Hope that gives way to perceiving and understanding the subtler transitions in the pieces.
The World Pushed Against You, is a fecund fusion of sounds ready to ignite febrile synapses inside the brain in an album that is easy to stay glued to from start to finish.
Fragments is a very nice loop-based, drifty ambient album. Some classical sounds appear, such as guitar and piano, and they often evoke very traditionally human themes. The release is well mixed and mastered, and concern was clearly given to each composition.
These memory-recordings expose the complex relationship between music and silence. They say that the ambient umbrella constantly expands the notions of what music might be. The Black Square could be wordless new ear poetry for the constant listener. I think that The Black Square might be a series of sound situations that flow and change as they go.
