The scraping, noise-drenched slabs in which John Healy (one half of Somatic Responses) is able to craft are astounding.
Tag: Abstract
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.
Myoptik :: Eat At The Dining Table of the Vibrating Sting (Pingdiscs)
There’s something magnetic, somehow fully charged, and buzzing here. Eight tracks of densely layered electronics and crunchy noises wrapping rhythmic distortion courtesy of the ever-talented Myoptik (aka Richard Wilkes).
Planet Love :: New Era & Adamha (return_backspace)
Both New Era and Adamha will be welcome news to anyone who has followed Marco Repetto. To the newcomer, each 12” illustrated the Italian’s enviable ability to melt genre boundaries and reach exciting new ideas.
tysk raider :: tysk002 (mindcolormusic / tysk)
These sound-art pieces express themselves via synthesizers and beautiful noise boxes, and yet they feel human and organic at the same time.
Poborsk :: Astronaut Mom (Da ! Heard It)
Sliced, diced and often flickering musical fragments almost coalesce in a stream of data flows only to be sideswiped by constantly shifting pitter-patter beats and shuffling ambient patterns that seem invisible.
ADJ :: Wormhole Device (Pyramid Transmissions)
Wormhole Device showcases an artist continuing to excel at their craft; never afraid to detail every nook and cranny, every fissure and fracture, and to simply expose the sheer avalanche of electro-nics surrounding this multifaceted rhythmic core.
Dub Tractor :: Wait (Touched Music)
It’s really great to see and hear Touched Music giving some of these artists another new home, and whilst it’s part of a ten year anniversary and bringing back feelings and artists I had love for more 20 years ago when I was first discovering them.
V/A :: Human is Human’s Master Vol. 2 (Section 27)
A mighty compilation of darker electronic threads—coming from the all-too dependable Section 27 digital imprint—returns like a howling locomotive at 3am.
