“A mosaic of the human experience,” indeed, Carbon Based Shrine is a somber, illbient-tinged, and introspectively dark soundscape with sporadic bursts of lighter parts piercing through the ashes.

Igloo Magazine :: Best of 2023
After covering several hundred releases in 2023, many notables—including links to their respective Igloo reviews or release pages—are cataloged here. As usual, there are no winners or runners-up as the lists are alphabetized by artist and selected tracks are featured on our Soundcloud playlist.
Room of Wires :: Welcome To The End Game (Ant-Zen)
My initial overall impression of Welcome To The End Game is that this is a very worthy follow up to earlier releases. We are greeted with all of the hallmarks of RoW including their fractured beats, evocative and emotional synth lines…
Planet Supreme :: Rule from the Dark Mountain (Cryo Chamber)
A spaced-out synth odyssey that infiltrates the human psyche for a long immersive and neuronal-astral voyage to the confines, visiting alien worlds and colonies, menacing landscapes.
Dragon :: From silence, impermeable space EP (Ryu)
From silence, impermeable space EP transitions, and fades away as if nothing ever happened. As if these peculiar disheveled electrical bits were perhaps a mirage; that once we’ve wiped our eyes to see better, only vanishes into thin air.
Lusine ICL :: Travel Sickness EP (Ant-Zen)
Despite nearly 20 years since its release, nothing has dimmed or faded the impact of these tracks nor their sounds and scenarios.
Synapscape :: Point Me to Nowhere EP (Ant-Zen)
Philipp Münch and Tim Kniep who are Synapscape have been refining their special approach to complex and multi-layered rhythmic noise over quite some years now.
Room of Wires :: Making music in total isolation
Talking to the two Andrews behind Room of Wires, and, in keeping with their way of working, this has all been done at distance. Room of Wires have never met—together they create uneasy electronic music.
Igloo Magazine :: Best of 2021
After covering several hundred releases in 2021, many notables—including links to their respective Igloo reviews or release pages—are cataloged here. As usual, there are no […]
Room of Wires :: Plague of People (Ant-Zen)
Room Of Wires continuing to unleash complex electronic structures exhibiting form and dysfunction via darker experimental electronic strains.
kojoohar × ködzid goo :: dotla (Ant-Zen)
Analog soundscraping noise cemented by fractured industrial tropes is par for the course, and yet the duo from Northern Komi lands (ködzid goo) and Southern Ukraine (kojoohar) manage to create molten lava flows where abstract downtempo hip-hop is ravaged by atmospheric mechanical warfare.
