4T Thieves :: Fame is an Addiction EP (Mahorka)
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.
V/A :: Communication Themes Vol. 10 (Renraku)
Renraku continue to evolve as their revolving Communication Themes compilation series expands and contracts with creative and exploratory electronics.
Serge Geyzel :: Limbo (Diffuse Reality)
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.
Aeon Cub :: Vacant King (Kaer’Uiks)
The sometimes frenetic breaks and beats avalanche are counterbalanced by punctuated low-flying rhythms, taking us to those brittle and precision IDM releases of yesteryear (ref. Brothomstates, Karsten Pflum, Proem, Xela, Gimmik et al).
Cult48 :: Underground Signals From An Unknown Place (Self Released)
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.
Owen Vince :: Old Sympathy (Slow Dance)
There’s some excellent electronic work throughout—real deep and crunchy sounds sit comfortably against the broken-up ambient backdrops.
Nike_Vomita :: MOA087 EP (Móatún 7)
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.
WE FORFEIT (Mix 30) :: Radio Relativa #15 febrero – ¡El ACid!
Chris gives us a full hour of acid assortments and sour selections that will leave teeth rattling and neighbors twitching curtains.
Xordox :: Omniverse (Editions Mego)
Omniverse is otherworldly in a futuristic and Sci-fi kind of way, yet it holds all those classic sounds emanating from a 1980s inspired European synth sound. From this release an intricate soundtrack emanates, often touching upon the fringes of techno rave, yet it never sounds recycled in any way and holds its own originality.
The Fire Video :: 海空時間電子宇宙 (Self Released)
The album starts off with fluctuating IDM and beat-infused choruses to jazz-blasted and grooving hip-hop sound sculptures, and eventually transforms into dreamlike fragments that appear to have no end and no beginning.
