Susumu Yokota :: Acid Mt. Fuji (Remastered 30th Anniversary Edition) (Sublime)
This 1994 album transcended expectations and opinions when it was first released, thirty years on it is still doing so. A fitting homage being paid to an artist who was utterly unique in his approach, a beautiful reissue of a milestone of electronic music.
Mono Hideout :: Visions EP (Adventurous Music)
A pleasantly relaxed transmission of minimalist, nearly imperceptible soundtracks from Mono Hideout’s Visions EP for Adventurous Music ignites something extraordinary and surreal.
Monolake :: Studio (Imbalance Computer Music)
There’s a great mixture and balance to the album with Henke’s signature Monolake style plus several ventures into new and different territory for the Berlin resident. In all his years of creating music it’s clear Henke has never swerved from delivering powerful, curated and expertly executed music.
M.Cadoo & P.Stephan :: Pang of Being (Self Released)
But it’s not all splatter. Soaring synths pierce the darkness with moments of light reminding me to look for that light, follow it down the tracks even as metallic crashes continue to cascade into crumbling piles of rust.
Illuvia :: Earth Prism (A Strangely Isolated Place)
The energy of his breakbeat manipulations is tamed by soft billowing clouds of enveloping sound, giving us an ideal listening for anyone who misses the glory days of ‘intelligent’ drum and bass, and eventually wants to feel it in our bedroom still.
Hainbach x Nebula Instruments :: Circle of Violence EP (Self Released)
The sacrament of music is universal, presented here with no words, no specific belief system, no dogma, just a moment in time with two guys who were hanging out together in an otherwise empty church making the whole place resonate and respond with otherworldly vibrations.
tsrono :: ergodicities (Point Source Electronic Arts)
Sharp ambient whirs blend in with erratic beatwork and swaying melodic strands that bend at strange angles, while darker shadows accentuate the arrival of precisely timed and densely packed atmospheric elements.
Time Being :: Hidden Structures (Spotted Peccary Music)
What you’ve just experienced is a harmonized rendition of our universe’s untold complexities, an auditory exploration into the very fabric of existence. It’s an invitation to not merely look but to see, not just to hear but to listen, as we collectively seek to unravel the universe’s hidden structures.
Jo Johnson :: Let Go Your Fear (Castles In Space)
The merge between synthesizers and the ethereal new age do make up for an interesting combination, one that always remains comfortable throughout the album; when they’re there, the arpeggiated synths give an interesting edge to the compositions, making them a bit more corpulent.
DJ HeadSick :: New Life (Mestnost)
DJ HeadSick dives headfirst into sublime melodic rhythms and shifting breaks, capturing all of those sweet auditory nuances in an aptly named collection.
