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.
Nuron :: Blanchimont EP (De:tuned)
Blanchimont is immersive armchair electronics, compositions that are uncluttered yet complex. A statement from an artist who marches to his own beat, one who continues to draw deserved admiration and recognition. Long may this golden return continue.
Stefan Vincent :: Pre Melancholy EP (MUSAR)
With juxtaposed rhythms and flickering beats, Dutch producer Stefan Vincent’s Pre Melancholy (released on MUSAR, June 2023) is a sweetened industrial and shuffled ambient-techno mélange.
The Fires Of Ork :: The Fires Of Ork (2024 Remaster) (Silent State)
Warmly recommended for lovers of lysergic icy ambient beauty with a deep pulsating edge and a terrifying, disorientating cosmic/dystopian sensibility, to be placed next to releases by Vladislav Delay, Monolake, The Orb, and Kangding Ray.
Sacrobosco :: IVXVI (Trovarobato)
An album that abandons any musical and communicative dogma to rediscover a direct link between rhythm and soul.
The Dubnihilist :: Stargazer EP (Dystopian Dub Discotheque)
Two tracks totaling approximately twenty-one minutes, with a concentration on broad and wide-angle ambient-dub/techno extracts.
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.
Wilder Gonzales Agreda :: 1994 EP (Superspace)
Are these opposing sonic forces or perhaps distant stars finding each other in The Milky Way? Ultimately, 1994 is a pleasant sojourn and a tangled mess, and we enjoyed every minute.
Stefan Smith :: Thlostones (Sapiens)
What a detailed story Thlostones is; drawing from classic soundscapes and inspiration that artists like Sean Deason, B12, and The Detroit Escalator Company ignited in the early days.
