V/A :: Alien Transmissions Vol 2 (Pyramid Transmissions)
Featuring ADJ, Hatch, Defunkt Dialekt, and Lectro Cod_E; this EP is right on time for those who enjoy hard-hitting dark electro. Likewise, this works well as a various artist output with all tracks staying true to the project aesthetic and seamless flow from one cut to the next.
ADJ & Adrien d’Elzius :: Split EP (Arkada)
Arkada 004 is a powerful four-pack sonic assault on the senses that unsurprisingly punctuates abstract electro-breaks with machine-like precision.
Xenomorph Jazz Ensemble :: Glitches Grew (Roulette Rekordz)

Solypsis :: Crisis Fatigue (Chthonic Streams)
A baffling collection of ultra-wide bass, beats, and crunchy slow-motion rhythms.
Miss Bean :: Les Avenirs (Serendip Lab)
Les Avenirs is a strong showcase of endless possibilities that ultimately reflects the fun in dance music that can all to often be left behind in today’s environment.

The go-to musician for old-school breaks and bass sound-sculpting, ΠΕΡΑ ΣΤΑ ΟΡΗ (from Greece, aka Pera Sta Ori,) continues to expand with next-level shenanigans.
BASTARD :: Full Bleed EP (Renraku)
A spontaneous yet refreshing EP; foraging glitch acrobatics with a roughened textural style.
Kab Driver :: Little Smoke EP (Acroplane)
Such a baffling and fresh take on experimental electronics to push us through this decade as we look forward to a follow-up full length, hopefully.
