Nuron :: DAT Tapes Vol 02 (De:tuned)
Interestingly, DAT Tapes Vol 02 casts light on a style that Jusat is not known for. There are moments of his trademark techno, but it is a more floor centric house that is at the heart of the record. The depth of previous productions is less evident, the explorations on offer being more rhythmic than melodic.
Fallen :: Fragments (Móatún 7)
Fragments is a very nice loop-based, drifty ambient album. Some classical sounds appear, such as guitar and piano, and they often evoke very traditionally human themes. The release is well mixed and mastered, and concern was clearly given to each composition.
Simon Pyke / Freeform :: Four Flex One EP (Self Released)
All in all, calming ambient techno mosaics and expertly crafted soundscapes flourish within Four Flex One. Simply captivating.
Francisco Sonur :: Blurred Cities (Móatún 7)
Blurred Cities presents an engaging and brilliant sound excursion, crafting poignant pieces with a slight departure from his usual sorrowful dusty neoclassical ambient in favor of more hypnotic and discreetly beat-laden ambient chills.
korrē :: Oizys (Perimeter Junk)
Characterized as “10 tracks of technoblues,” Oizys, the album, follows very much in the vein of the previous Shrapnel, a lowlight minimal variant redolent of some early ’00s Berlin-inflected dub-tech/tech-dub releases.
Fragile X :: Halcyon Maze EP (Intellitronic Bubble)
Fragile X’s audio work is a delightful discovery, as demonstrated by Halcyon Maze in particular with Iceland’s prolific IDM, electro, and techno imprint Intellitronic Bubble.
Uomo Meccanico :: Confusi ma Felici (Móatún 7)
Despite appearing to be downtempo in nature, Uomo Meccanico’s collection is powerful and beautifully crafted; featuring old-school electronica, brittle rhythms, and classic breaks. A well-rounded and blissful voyage.
