Turning Point pulses with a raw, robotic energy across its four tracks, effortlessly blending minimal bleep-techno with intricate bass and jagged sound design. A pure […]

ProtoU :: The Voice of Serenity (Cryo Chamber)
The Voice of Serenity establishes that spiral nebulae exist well beyond the edge of the Milky Way, while simultaneously dealing with the nature of the universe, the cosmos, as well as the study of the chronology of the universe and the actions of the cosmic beings who are completely indifferent toward humanity.
Takeo Watanabe :: Piece of My Scape (Artificial Owl Recordings)
With eleven miniatures that pulse with glitchy nuances and a downtempo heartbeat, Watanabe guides us along unexpected paths, where abstract beats, gently plucked notes, and fuzzy rhythms harmonize in an elegant dance.
V/A :: For LA Vol. 3 (Helios Music)
As with previous volumes, For LA Vol. 3 not only highlights the creative brilliance of its contributors but also stands as a testament to the power of music in driving meaningful change.
Old Amica / Aiko Takahashi :: Vikande blå / Nuages (Handstitched*)
Overall, musically, Vikande blå / Nuages occupies a span of the ambient-drone spectrum that should lure in fans from, say, PITP to 12k, with Aiko T’s more minimal experimental sensibility nearer the latter, and Old Amica’s more fulsome space/post-rock leanings the former. A quality package, as you’ll have come to expect from Handstitched*.
ALEPH :: REFRACTOR EP (Renraku) — [concise]
REFRACTOR stands as a testament to ALEPH’s ability to balance dancefloor focus with a deeply abstract sound palette, adding another standout piece to Renraku’s expansive High Tech/Low Frequency collection.
Damián Anache :: Lento, en un jardín lenticular (Inkilino)
Anache plays a lot with each sound he introduces, and instead of striving for some insane out-of-this world timbres like you may sometimes hear in guitar-driven electroacoustics, he focuses more on building with the more subtle tones he’s creating. Layering and constant variation make this a worthwhile LP for fans of atonal electronic music.
Joseph Sannicandro & Jordan Christoff :: Surreal Transit (Global Pattern)
A rich sound flows, drifting through the sonic textures of electric, natural and urban, electronic and field recordings, radio crackled voices, loops and textures, but with no reliance on words.
Yoker Moon :: Mood Studies (Waxing Crescent)
Mood Studies encapsulates the transient, fragmented nature of existence, offering a surreal and meditative listening experience that feels both intimate and expansive—a must-listen for those who find beauty in imperfection.
John Bickerton :: Atlas Eclipticalis – The music of John Cage & Earle Brown (Simple Harmonic Motion)
The music of John Cage & Earle Brown captures the essence of Cage’s and Brown’s avant-garde philosophies, making it essential for enthusiasts of experimental classical music, and for those that want to tip their toe into exploring the beginnings of electronic music.
Jairus Sharif :: Find energy in exploration
“I’m enthusiastic about so-called distortion, noise, blur, etc. and began to find energy in the exploration of signal-to-noise ratios and what true clarity of signal means to me. Accuracy, as I had previously understood it, is of little concern to me, and I’ve found that clarity in spirit has a high level of distortion as one of its most desirable traits.” ~Jairus Sharif
