Rarely adhering to one rhythmic construct within the confines of a song, individual phrases are crafted to their logical conclusion with real thought as to what should come next.
Tag: Abstract
Burial :: Streetlands EP (Hyperdub)
Burial shows he’s unafraid of forging ahead even if it strays from his hits. This is aural cinematography created by a master storyteller working not in words but in sound itself.
Beyond the Clones :: Moon Bird (Self Released)
It’s all here, as subdued as it can ever be. Beyond the Clones doesn’t outright produce music that hits you in the face, but rather, massages our subconscious.
Lokom :: Vor Reflex EP (EC Underground)
Broken bass and electronified hip-hop sounds are in full force with Lokom’s latest for EC Underground as Vor Reflex exudes funk and glitch elements torn to shreds.
Philippe Blache :: The Ever Sounding Sea Of Grief (GH)
The Ever Sounding Sea Of Grief delivers frozen sculptures of electronic ambient where bleakness, austerity and sublimity rise from a grainy, tumultuous and rumbling sea of noises, drones and textures.

Fragile X :: The Man With The Plastic Brain (noci miste) — Track premiere “Loaded Dice”
Diligent in design whilst playful throughout, we think this will certainly turn heads for fans of early Warp and Rephlex. Don’t sleep on this one!
WXR_JR :: Excerpts From The Vault Vol. 1-3 (Adventurous Music)
Always interested in how we communicate, music is the obvious medium, and speaking your ideas in another language is also interesting.
Fetcho :: Fetcho (Schematic Music Co.)
This one slipped by our radar earlier this year (May 2022)—Fetcho (aka Brandon Knocke) delivers a wide range of sonic delights and we’re back on track with his self-titled on Schematic Music Company. Busting through in-your-face electronics and polished braindance elements…
