All short pieces and utterly to the point, these brief soundscapes tend to levitate across a broad sonic spectrum where punchy percussive jolts and stabbing rhythms unfold at multiple angles.

bvdub :: Fumika Fades (EC Underground)
Stylistically, Fumika Fades doesn’t stray too far from the sound he’s been developing in recent years, the grainy, reverb-laden pads and atmospheric textures are all familiar…
4T Thieves :: Nomad’s Requiem (Werra Foxma)
Werra Foxma takes the opportunity to release these audible gems submerged in nostalgic flutter. Opening downtempo strands and melodic loops cascade…
Aphex Twin :: …I Care Because You Do (Warp) —28 years later
The 90s were unrepeatable and …I Care Because You Do proves it. Composed between 1990 and 1994, it is a paradigm of the advanced adolescent.
Somatic Responses :: Rhinog Fawr’ (Heol Ddu)
The scraping, noise-drenched slabs in which John Healy (one half of Somatic Responses) is able to craft are astounding.
Valance Drakes :: A Weak Shield Protects Not EP (Urban Virus)
Nine minutes and an infinity we can’t even fathom, Valance Drakes delivers transparent soundwaves just barely reaching the lower atmosphere. Massaging ghostlike glitch for us mere mortals.
Shubharun Sengupta :: Iggle (Self Released)
Even if these tracks are filled with audible data bursting at the seams, a bricolage of sound-scraping noises all tend to merge together on Iggle, angular electronics indeed.
Lovetrip :: Little Silver Box (Móatún 7)
Oli Love’s signature sound is the essential ingredient on the Móatún 7 roster. The album in its entirety is indescribably stunning and is the epitome of top-tier ambient electronica.
