A-Sun Amissa :: We Are Not Our Dread (Gizeh)
This is music made with total creative freedom, by a group perpetually evolving. Rather than repeat themselves, A-Sun Amissa continue to carve out their own shadowy corner of the experimental world—one where dread becomes catharsis, and ruin gives way to reverie.
Karsten Pflum :: Bexet (Touched Music)
This latest outing reveals a refined yet playful evolution, where analog warmth meets a pulse-driven foundation. With rhythmic patterns that sway between funky downtempo and braindance fragments, Bexet dances fluidly through melodic motifs and lullaby-like phrases.
Saapato :: Decomposition: Fox on a Highway (Constellation Tatsu)
Such an exploration might seem at first more fitted to harsh noise or the post-industrial genres, but the sounds here are lush and radiant, calming, relaxed. There is the pungent fragrance of death present, but it isn’t cloying, but something familiar and comforting.
Sons Of Melancholia :: Desert The Non-World EP (Facade Electronics)
With Desert The Non-World, Sons Of Melancholia doesn’t just create music—he crafts environments, scenarios, and subtle emotional shifts. Highly recommended for fans of lowercase ambient, electroacoustic composition, or anyone interested in the outer edges of sonic storytelling.
Slowcream :: dan/s (No.Nine)
If the remaining six tracks of dan/s follow the lead of this opening trio, Slowcream’s return marks a significant chapter not just in his own evolution, but in the broader conversation surrounding contemporary electronic music as a platform for critical, interdisciplinary expression.
Vortex Count :: Mantra Remixed (Polygon Network) — [concise]
Together, these explorations form a captivating mosaic of splintered downtempo clicks and cuts, crafted from the upper echelons of experimental electronic music.
Jolanda Moletta and Karen Vogt :: Sea-swallowed Wands (quiet details)
Their approaches, methods, and sound signatures are relatively aligned, revolving around microtonality and meditative spiritual stillness. Such a creative dialogue can only be harmonious, guided by an imaginative force that invites the listener on a mental journey elsewhere.
Kettel :: Inmate Shuffle EP (Analogical Force)
A vibrant array of rhythmic and melodic flourishes defines Inmate Shuffle, a five-track suite from renowned Dutch IDM craftsman Kettel (Reimer Eising). Each piece, concise at around five minutes, showcases his enduring ability to fuse intricate beats with poignant, melodic expression.
Pan Thorarensen :: Ljóstillífun (U Know Me)
Expansive and hushed, the landscape breathes through each piece, as Thorarensen captures its elusive essence using custom microphones—drawing out subtle sonic layers interwoven with synth hues and an almost tactile sense of presence.
Death in Vegas :: Death Mask (Drone)
The nine tracks of Death Mask fall into techno. However, such labelling does this record a disservice. Richard Fearless is pushing the limitations of the genre and forging new paths within the sound. His ability, and years of experience, come to the fore as new audio explorations are charted.
