Experimental Electronic Music
Ultimately an upper level smorgasbord of audible electrons that doesn’t let up even for a moment, Pyramid Transmissions have curated another top release that contains just enough energy to thrust us into Interstellar space without looking back. IC2.1 is the quintessential catalog of electro and highlights the best in the scene.
A swirling smorgasbord of blissful blips and bleeps, tiny mechanical gears rotate and crunch their way through, often leaving the listener to submerge themselves in these mysterious aural fluctuations.
All compositions are steady and laid back, showcasing intermingling patterns of varied lifeform, all of which allow for a great sense of escapism directly through the headphones.
Totems displays Loess’ adeptness at fusing ambient, dub, garage, and “intelligent dance music” to create a unique take on electronic music.
Taking us to a simpler time, a place where comfort and familiarity reside—the nostalgia of distant memories, sounds, and feelings keep our minds tuned as 4T Thieves continues to extract swirling synthesizer strains.
Renraku continue to evolve as their revolving Communication Themes compilation series expands and contracts with creative and exploratory electronics.
With this release, Geyzel shows he can add electro to the list of styles he’s got in the toolbelt. Fast, funky, and smart, this release is a great addition to the genre.

To not only emulate with such accuracy the pads and warm-feelings of Scotland’s well-loved duo, to be able to accentuate and highlight in a truly modern fashion without detracting from the feelings, is a feat in itself.
There’s some excellent electronic work throughout—real deep and crunchy sounds sit comfortably against the broken-up ambient backdrops.
A three piece suite released on a limited (and now sold out) 7″—Nike_Vomita emerges with just over 10 minutes of primed acid technoid extracts that bend, twist, and shift through ambient underpinnings.
