The scene is full of muted blips and bleeps hidden beneath a multitude of waves that gently rise and fall, occasionally dipping into distant echoes of light and evolving drone tones.
Tag: Best of 2023
Marco Simioni :: FOMO (Detroit Underground)
Another incredibly surreal album of cutting-edge experimental electronic music from a gifted sound design artist.
Esthetic & Reac-Zo :: Torii EP (Onset Audio)
Torii is a potent sonic transmission that is reminiscent of early Einóma, Traject, and Atiq & EnK where deconstructed tribal grooves are balanced over compacted beatwork and dark bass troves.
Valance Drakes :: Hate Devours Its Host (Amek Collective)
Definitely a planned voyage submerged in hundreds of warped electrical sound fields and swirling auditory debris, this is a mechanical and alien bombardment of the senses.
Adrien d’Elzius :: Silent Revolution EP (Abstrakt Reflections)
Silent Revolution is a perplexing aural buffet of abstract electro-nics and side splitting bass skills, consisting of four tracks and two remixes.
Hexalyne / Lain :: Evel 46 (Evel)
The tiniest particles and granular rhythms here are seductive and as abstract as ever, but it’s the evenly dispersed ambient threads that hold the disparate parts together so effectively.
Ital Tek :: Timeproof (Planet Mu)
Timeproof simply functions as a gloomy and spacious soundtrack to lost planets thanks to the static fizz-fuzz sounds and bewitching textures that Ital Tek carefully extracts from his machines.
Hidden Orchestra :: To Dream is to Forget (Lone Figures)
Brisk and bumpy electronica is submerged in organic soundscapes and sonic vistas that appear out of nowhere.
Dorosoto & Hanut Munson :: Distant Parallels (Evel)
The results are captivating as Dorosoto and Hanut Munson both display downtempo, emotive, and saccharine rhythms playing off each other.
clocolan :: Incide (Redpan)
With all of these dark shadows bearing down on us, one can only consume so much, which allows Incide the space it needs to stretch its textured tentacles until every last one of us is assimilated.
