Sun-soaked, abstract, and vintage-sounding electronics with fuzzy melodic rhythms.

Cressida :: The Flying Dagger EP (Shaw Cuts)
The Flying Dagger displays a solid batch of tracks that go as hard as the concept behind the project would lead you to believe. To match various fight scenes and the thrill of revenge, the beats on this EP do need to go rather hard, and they certainly succeed at that.
Matmos :: Return to Archive (Smithsonian Folkways Recordings)
Matmos are masters of the electronic concept album, and I was delighted that the archive in question is the plethora of “sound” albums released by the maverick founder of Folkways, Moses Asch. Beyond the concept, these glitchy, rhythmic, noisy, textural pieces are a joy to listen to and behold.
Rodrigo Passannanti :: Omnipresence (EC Underground)
The aptly-titled compendium seeks solace in transparent melodic layers, continually engaging its listeners through expansive and cinematic sonic snapshots.
Stefan Vincent :: Pre Melancholy EP (MUSAR)
With juxtaposed rhythms and flickering beats, Dutch producer Stefan Vincent’s Pre Melancholy (released on MUSAR, June 2023) is a sweetened industrial and shuffled ambient-techno mélange.
Syntax Erika & Lebed :: 10538KM EP (Detroit Underground)
Another powerful panoramic of dense electrical sound fields seamlessly connecting North America and Eastern Europe, its epicenter located in Detroit.
Masaya Ozaki :: Mizukara (laaps)
Masaya Ozaki explores various sound sources on Mizukara and then manipulates them into comforting or sometimes discomforting new textures. There’s various acoustic instruments that get played with, contributing to the album’s overall variety and different soundscapes.
Bernhard Living :: The Nature of Things (Self Released)
While their core ideas are always there, minimal variations make these pieces work, as they’re not just loops going on for 25 minutes straight; there’s so few minimal details that it’s worth pointing them out individually instead of providing examples.
