Dez Williams & Fleck E.S.C. :: Double EP review (Woodwork)
Unleashing next-level electronics shaped into pulsing electro configurations that cast incredibly rugged IDM and broken beat shadows.

Eomac :: Cracks (Planet Mu)
For Cracks—which was produced in a rural part of Ireland without any outside pressure—Eomac showcases an aptitude for more upfront and punctuated techno, sliced breaks, and broken beat strains.
second seasons :: Parse, Care (Schematic)
A fascinating study of what happens when you apply Autechre levels of technology to making more directly accessible but still experimental beats.
Synade :: Synade (Megatape)
A visceral collection of organized electronic mayhem from broken breaks, heavier hitting drums, blips’n bleeps, erratic breakcore vs braindance, early synth-pop/punk, acid noodling and did we mention low-end rattling?

exm manages to dive into blissful sound design elements that at once sound mechanical and arcane but somehow also exude emotivly magnetic attractions.

Taking us back to early DeFocus, Delsin and Neo Ouija days where lightly sprinkled electronics birthed IDM’s trajectory into melodic and blissful moments, Chaircrusher captures familiar terrain with luminous sonic bubbles.

By pushing and pulling on a vast tapestry of textured noises and glittery soundscapes, the exploratory nature of this album is offset by its attention to nuanced, imprecise and sparkling electronic flutter.
Terror Peaks :: Terror Peaks EP (MOTR)
Each piece contains enough content and creative fuel to keep our attention zoned in while shards of electro, breaks, and technoid forms are exposed with jazzier outer layers.
