Point Source Electronic Arts continue to expand their sonic reach with well-curated compilations displaying a knack for abstract electronics in all of its wonderfully skewed shapes and forms—just take a look at the lineup on AS3E. Now in their third year of operation, left field electrical shards split wide open as AS3E baffles the senses.

Fidgeting electronics mesh with crunchy rhythms, pulses, and tones; a collection that traverses many layers. The curation of such a showcase exemplifies where the imprint is headed; its mission to dissolve genre and sub-genre tangents is clear and concise as uncharted realms are explored. Darkness and light bend and blend, erratic static and braindance slivers are carved while distant bleeps disperse.

PSEA skillfully pluck a handful of machine music sculptors from around the globe, aligning their tunes with precision. Shuffling every beat, click, and audible morsel into blissful smorgasbords, highlights spark and flicker as undulating rhythms create a vast listening experience. Disjointedly stark and intact from start to close, AS3E is a chiseled highlight for 2022.

Artist Showcase – 3rd Edition is available on Point Source Electronic Arts. [Bandcamp]
