Titled Infinity of Dreams, this effort is a hybrid of styles operating a crossover between neo-classical orchestrations, mystical-liturgic ambient obtained by various synthetic chords and slightly pulsating ritual music.

Ian Boddy & Harald Grosskopf :: Doppelgänger (DiN)
A masterclass in Berlin School-inspired sequencing, immersive soundscapes, and a fusion of electronic textures that recall the golden age of 1970s synthesis while embracing modern production techniques.
Dever To Laye :: INIT EP (Autoscopy)
Through carefully tuned machines and dusty synthesizers, INIT unfolds gradually, with rising, undulating drones transforming the space around us.
Old Amica / Aiko Takahashi :: Vikande blå / Nuages (Handstitched*)
Overall, musically, Vikande blå / Nuages occupies a span of the ambient-drone spectrum that should lure in fans from, say, PITP to 12k, with Aiko T’s more minimal experimental sensibility nearer the latter, and Old Amica’s more fulsome space/post-rock leanings the former. A quality package, as you’ll have come to expect from Handstitched*.
ALEPH :: REFRACTOR EP (Renraku) — [concise]
REFRACTOR stands as a testament to ALEPH’s ability to balance dancefloor focus with a deeply abstract sound palette, adding another standout piece to Renraku’s expansive High Tech/Low Frequency collection.
ADJ :: Invasion Of The Compliant (Strange But Dance Music) — [concise]
On ADJ’s latest release for Strange But Dance Music, the line between heavy electro/breaks and experimental electronic music blurs to its most surreal form.
Hüma Utku :: Dracones (Editions Mego)
Dracones is a raw, powerful collection of compositions, pulsing with intensity and depth. It’s not a journey for the faint of heart, but for those drawn to music that is both dark and hauntingly beautiful, it strikes a deep, resonant chord.
Damián Anache :: Lento, en un jardín lenticular (Inkilino)
Anache plays a lot with each sound he introduces, and instead of striving for some insane out-of-this world timbres like you may sometimes hear in guitar-driven electroacoustics, he focuses more on building with the more subtle tones he’s creating. Layering and constant variation make this a worthwhile LP for fans of atonal electronic music.
Joseph Sannicandro & Jordan Christoff :: Surreal Transit (Global Pattern)
A rich sound flows, drifting through the sonic textures of electric, natural and urban, electronic and field recordings, radio crackled voices, loops and textures, but with no reliance on words.
