Distort Everything Forever opens in ambience, spends most of its middle throwing rhythmic and low frequency chaos at you, then returns toward atmosphere at the end.

Chit Chat with Ben Stokes of Dimensional Holofonic Sound
A veteran of groundbreaking music-video and visual collaborations, Ben Stokes puts his most personal stamp on Dimensional Holophonic Sound (DHS), his singular project blending acid electronics, old-school analog imagery, and experimental video production. Simultaneously, Stokes has built a distinctive career at the intersection of sound, art, technology, and visuals.
Multiplex :: Axial Opposition (People Can Listen)
That exchange between past and present is central to Axial Opposition. Classic Multiplex structures remain recognizable, yet the melodic synthesis gives them renewed dimension, allowing vintage electronic language to exist alongside contemporary detail.
IXRQ :: Form & Fashion EP (SEQ:RUN)
For fans of CPU, Carl Finlow and electro’s wider continuum, IXRQ’s command of the language will be immediately apparent. But this isn’t simply reverence for what has been. These are familiar components arranged with enough curiosity to remind us that electro’s future has never been about inventing the machine. It’s about continuing to find new things for it to say.
Dimensional Holofonic Sound :: Concept Record (Self Released)
Concept Record not only works as a creative tool; it demonstrates what can be created when Professor Ben’s instruction is heeded. The concept is to use this record alongside other records to make new records, while providing a legitimate D.H.S. album of its own right—one that embraces the features that help make physical records so fun and appealing.
IKKo :: Cheerleader EP (Roulette Rekordz)
Nicolas Ladoux returns as IKKo with Cheerleader, a five-track release that continues his exploration of neo-industrial electronics through a distinctly European lens.
ΠΕΡΑ ΣΤΑ ΟΡΗ :: Oddling Weather Forecast EP (Self Released)
Always willing to push miles ahead into abstract electronic substructures while reaching back for acid, rave, jungle, breaks, and ultra-low-end vibrations, this is music whose physical impact feels every bit as potent now as it might have in the mid-90s.
Myoptik :: Ectospasm (Zoku – Zoku)
From noise to nice. Harsh to honed. Squelch to sculpture. Ectospasm is a 10/10 top-tier proposition for anyone still prepared to leave the comfort of the known and go poking around in whatever is moving about underneath it.
Novel 23 :: Biogenes Resources (Art-Tek)
Biogenes Resources is a testament to what a new generation of Russian electronic artists would do. The hope and whimsy that permeate the album hark back to a time of potential, where possibilities stretched across the many time zones of the vast Eastern land. In this reproduction, using the original MIDI files, the past reminds us of both the preciousness of our freedom of expression and that such expression can never be stifled.
Sleep Underwriter :: The Hexadecimal Era (Aduaine)
With The Hexadecimal Era, Sleep Underwriter delivers an album that celebrates electronic music’s past with joy and aplomb while sounding completely alive to the present moment. Here, then, is another superb release from Dublin’s Aduaine, a label whose catalog continues to set an impressively high bar through both consistency and relentless quality.
LoMo :: 29526 (Neo Ouija)
29526 is a return under another name and, at the same time, a departure. LoMo delivers to Neo Ouija an album capable of conversing with the ambient techno tradition and with the more introspective sensibility of IDM, sustained by writing that is lucid, visionary and deeply musical.
