DoorHead :: 0pen22 EP (Not Yet Remembered)
A superbly designed extended player with detailed, granular sonic extensions to make us all feel at ease. Ethereal drones and finely delineated IDM morsels DoorHead’s […]
Jos Smolders :: Textuur 1 [number 1-9] (Moving Furniture)
Some albums get your brain working. You’ll plant some conceptual seed in your mind, and you start thinking or even philosophizing. It depends on the planted seed, how your brain works, mental (dis)abilities, and, oh yeah, the amount of coffee you had that day.
Japanese ambient music :: Minimal environment and zen-inspired sonic sculptures
Through multiple evolutions along decades, with a refined combination of harmonies, a deep sense of space, a phenomenology of time and bright sonic manipulations based on acoustic timbres, Japanese artists invite the listener to enlightened and intuitive inner promenades.
IDMf > Glitchpulse Records :: Retrospective
This year, Glitchpulse aim to honor the IDMf legacy with a collection of retrospective releases. Spanning five volumes, this collection will highlight some of the best of the IDMf catalog, offering nearly six hours of music. Each volume features a fresh new track from one of their esteemed alumni.
REVANT :: MOSS EP (Self Released)
MOSS provides a gripping and thoughtful listen. Mellow, ambient, relaxing and electroacoustic—hopefully there is more to come from the Mumbai, India-based musician.

Dragon :: Audio Denaturation EP (Ryu)
Fans of Richard Devine and Valance Drakes should take note of Dragon’s comprehensive blend of deep sound forms that pierce through the core of our planet.

Surrounded by good friends contributing their own interpretations—including Abdicant, Access To Arasaka, Valance Drakes, Jérôme Chassagnard, Unterm Rad, Asshole Galaxy, Abdicant, Weldroid, Grosso Gadgetto, and Mitoma—”Альбатрос” turns into an avalanche of sonic detritus.
Federico Balducci & fourthousandblackbirds :: Succulent Succubus (Difficult Art And Music)
The project focuses on sound textures, an exploration rather than a pure melody, at others, the feeling comes across like the low-end rumble of a beat-less Berlin nightclub seeping up through the floorboards.
Low Communication :: We Should Leave The Earth (EQ)
Transporting us back to the early aughts where Toytronic, Art-Tek, Neo Ouija, and Pause_2 labels launched melodic experimental electronic transmissions during the height of IDM; Low Communication glides somewhere between then and now.
