V/A :: Artist Showcase – 4th Edition (Point Source Electronic Arts)

The Artist Showcase series offers a community of like-minded sonic sculptors a platform to present their enigmatic but perplexing structures for the world to interpret.

Delving deeper into industrial-glitch realms

The label that consistently pushes the limits of electronic music is back at it, staying a step ahead of the competition and not holding back. Point Source Electronic Arts delves deeper into industrial-glitch realms that Tympanik Audio formerly called home in these 20 tracks. As the imprints’ Artist Showcase series offers a community of like-minded sonic sculptors a platform to present their enigmatic but perplexing structures for the world to interpret, the avalanche of distressed electronics, mesmerizing rhythms, shattered ambiance, and braindance blips and bleeps continues to expand. There are so many musicians from all over the world represented here that it doesn’t matter if we play the tracks in order or randomly. Simply put, Point Source’s trademark is its abundance of futuristic and obscure electronics. Standouts (for these ears) include Dragon, Unterm Rad, Hexalyne, Access to Arasaka, Mesaverde, symmDROME, Tapage, Phylum Sinter, and Aphorism.

Artist Showcase – 4th Edition is available on Point Source Electronic Arts. [Bandcamp]
