Hanut Munson :: Zoopraxiscopy EP (Evel)
On Zooproxiscopy we find Hanut Munson deliver tranquilized electronic layers of dust where delicate pitter-patter beats flutter in the wind and melodic notes drift somewhere in the margins while simultaneously moving colorful sound images.
kojoohar × ködzid goo :: dotla (Ant-Zen)
Analog soundscraping noise cemented by fractured industrial tropes is par for the course, and yet the duo from Northern Komi lands (ködzid goo) and Southern Ukraine (kojoohar) manage to create molten lava flows where abstract downtempo hip-hop is ravaged by atmospheric mechanical warfare.
Fxbip :: Beyond EP (Xephem)
8-bit breaks are crunched, deformed, and plastered against voice snippets, acidic squelches, and chiseled video-game moments. Basically, the whole kit and caboodle is discovered on Beyond by Montreal’s drill’n bass technician Fxbip.
Nuron / As One :: La Source 02 (De:tuned)
The tracks sound so effortless in their composition, their development and progression appearing to grow organically under Nuron’s expert ear. This belies the complexity of this record, the ever so subtle shifts, the ebbs and flows on arrangements that seem to change on each listen. A masterful record from a true master.
IWDG :: In a Lonely Place (AW/RW 2020) — Andrew Weatherall tribute (Rotters Golf Club)
There’s something for everyone in this collection and not just for arguing about the merit’s of music and cover songs. A good listen for a […]
The Woodleigh Research Facility :: Facility 4 EP series (Rotters Golf Club)
Before his untimely death Andrew Weatherall and his long-time collaborator Nina Walsh planned a series of EP’s to span 2020. The advantage of such a long term endeavor is that it allowed their ideas to unspool and then reconstitute over long melodic lines inviting thought without demanding conclusions.
Rico Casazza & CPSL :: Higher Form EP (Dionysian Mysteries)
Taking elements of classic techno / acid tropes and merging with heavy breaks, bass and 90s era rave sessions, Higher Form does just want it […]
HATCH :: Archive: Vol. I (Section 27)
At a surprising name your price offering Archive: Vol. I is a worthwhile investment keeping underground musicians like HATCH (aka London’s prolific Eugene Rowlett) moving towards a mission to re-envision old-school bleep electronics.
HEFT :: Anagram EP (Onset Audio)
Ambient undercurrents are pinned by echoed dub inflections while static charges shimmy through vibrational bass as it all comes together succinctly.
O C O S I :: 373AHELL (Ohm Resistance)
An emphasis on heavy, heavy beats supporting deep, shuddering bass and dark atmospherics. With the drums playing such a heavy role in these songs one could be forgiven for mistaking it for a Scorn release from a bygone year.
