A behemoth in the field of crumbling experimental electronic music, Oblivion Engine inches its way to the top of our best releases of 2023.
Tag: Abstract
V/A :: BLE-EP2 (Yellow Machines)
BLE-EP2 slices through a myriad of explosive tectonic rhythms as the label launches itself as one of the best in the field of bleeped madness.
Chase Dobson :: The Mechanics of Time Travel (Young Heavy Souls)
A mind bending and surreal sonic adventure, capturing the voltage of analog machines and casting them into the sunshine.
Cercle Futur :: La Guerre Comme Expérience Intérieure (Roulette Rekordz)
A high-octane mélange of surreal experiments in sound design, elevating fractured electronic music and modular machines.
V/A :: VLS Offal (MightyPing)
A vast assortment of Mighty Force and Pingdiscs musicians line up with their sonic interpretations and what we get is a top-notch selection of acid-drenched braindance glory.
nebulo :: MMXXII (3OP)
Breaking all rhythms into bite size morsels, machines, instruments, and vocal echoes are expertly chopped up.
Spark :: Old Growth (Self Released)
Ultimately, Old Growth is a powerful and focused collection that doesn’t break new ground and instead reinforces that you don’t really have to.
Inkipak :: Slip (Touched Music)
The same core feeling is still there, but even in this short time, it’s apparent that skills have been built on, ideas have been nurtured, and flourishes added to round off what was already very enjoyable.
Enabl.ed :: OddlyMerged (Mozyk)
A pleasant release of relatively-downtempo noninvasive pieces that flow nicely and won’t introduce any stress into your day.
Dragon & Jettenbach :: Interesting Times (Point Source Electronic Arts)
These otherworldly soundtracks bend and morph, creating explosive glitch fragments that intertwine and reform themselves, all the while, drenched in dronescapes and densely layered mechanical blips.

exm finds comfort in lengthy, amorphous soundscapes from many miles above our atmosphere.
