Whatever the destinations, the path goes through a multifaceted semi-percussive transformation, weaving melodic fragment elements and cycling through the continuum.

Legiac :: Banisteriopsis Caapi (Touched Music / Phainomena)
I half knew what to expect, but was also pleasantly surprised as some of the most unsettling aspects of their work are placed right in your field of view; challenging sounds and structures…
Dorosoto & Hanut Munson :: Distant Parallels (Evel)
The results are captivating as Dorosoto and Hanut Munson both display downtempo, emotive, and saccharine rhythms playing off each other.
Zajwert :: Golem (Point Source Electronic Arts / ZOJ)
Nine tracks span around 40-minutes and the thorough sound vistas offer delicately shifting ambient-techno realms blending with pitter-patter glitch’n bleeps debris and braindance shards.
Dissolved & Nonima :: Teichopsia EP (Section 27)
Two artists treading the lines between darker industrial tropes and emotive electronic passages.
Qebo :: Cellular Spaces (Polyend)
That Qebo able to crunch and deform electrical mayhem into digestible and flowing chunks is baffling, and how he’s able to make it sound absolutely beautiful, is a testament to his tried and true sonic methods and commitment.
clocolan :: Incide (Redpan)
With all of these dark shadows bearing down on us, one can only consume so much, which allows Incide the space it needs to stretch its textured tentacles until every last one of us is assimilated.
Aidan Baker :: Tense Surfaces — Remastered (Panospria)
Tense Surfaces is an active departure from the glacial movement of Baker’s earlier work that I am familiar with and is a very delightful surprise.
Faex Optim :: Crystal Pleasures (Werra Foxma)
With such a beautiful collection of IDM escapades and overflowing emotional powers, Faex Optim unearths crystalized musical realms.
Parallel Worlds :: Applied Maths (Móatún 7)
The ingenuity of Bakis Sirros pervades this album in its entirety—a dark ambient masterpiece that unfolds with continuous soundscapes, allowing for a sublime listening experience.
Aphex Twin :: Blackbox Life Recorder 21f / in a room7 F760 EP (Warp)
Overall impression: I really enjoy these tunes, but it’s clear that whatever rabbit holes Aphex Twin has been down in the last 30 years, he’s still fixated on the sounds and vibes he constructed in the early 90s.
