The broad and distinctive esotericism of Zeno van den Broek, HIIIT, Gagi Petrovic & Machines’ Relatum features what sound like field recordings and found sounds merging into one fractured listening experience. Yet it’s not what it seems.

WE FORFEIT :: Radio Relativa #43 — Top tracks of 2023
2024 is well underway. Nevertheless, We Forfeit returns to one of their many, many traditions; their favorite records of 2023!
korrē :: Oizys (Perimeter Junk)
Characterized as “10 tracks of technoblues,” Oizys, the album, follows very much in the vein of the previous Shrapnel, a lowlight minimal variant redolent of some early ’00s Berlin-inflected dub-tech/tech-dub releases.
Susumu Yokota :: Acid Mt. Fuji (Remastered 30th Anniversary Edition) (Sublime)
This 1994 album transcended expectations and opinions when it was first released, thirty years on it is still doing so. A fitting homage being paid to an artist who was utterly unique in his approach, a beautiful reissue of a milestone of electronic music.
Mono Hideout :: Visions EP (Adventurous Music)
A pleasantly relaxed transmission of minimalist, nearly imperceptible soundtracks from Mono Hideout’s Visions EP for Adventurous Music ignites something extraordinary and surreal.
Monolake :: Studio (Imbalance Computer Music)
There’s a great mixture and balance to the album with Henke’s signature Monolake style plus several ventures into new and different territory for the Berlin resident. In all his years of creating music it’s clear Henke has never swerved from delivering powerful, curated and expertly executed music.
Displacer :: The Witching Hour SE (The Crime League)
Displacer revisits this iconic record and brings some friends along to partake, creating a flowing and textural audio assault that represents the entire dark electronic music landscape, likely for another decade.
M.Cadoo & P.Stephan :: Pang of Being (Self Released)
But it’s not all splatter. Soaring synths pierce the darkness with moments of light reminding me to look for that light, follow it down the tracks even as metallic crashes continue to cascade into crumbling piles of rust.
