Chad Mossholder :: Haptic Clouds (Schematic)
Designed to be listened to on headphones, Chad Mossholder finds more ominous micro-glitch nuances hidden behind these eight sonic peripherals.
Andrey Kiritchenko :: Maria (Touched Music)
A truly magnificent and exquisite illustration of influential electronics for the year 2024.
David Helpling & Jon Jenkins :: A Treasured World (Spotted Peccary)
The natural synergy between Helpling and Jenkins is well known for bringing their melodic ringing dynamics of cinematic electronics, somehow merging piquant flavors of rock sensibilities, ambient electronic, and limitless atmospheric space music.
Aroma Nice :: Old Haunts (YUKU)
This is an overall consistent and fun LP, one that does not rely on any quirks to be appealing; what Old Haunts can really rely on are its intense grooves, so much so that they’re both the backbone and in the forefront of these tracks.
Rafael Toral :: Spectral Evolution (Moikai / Drag City)
This album sees Rafael Toral manipulating various sound sources to create a vast piece that goes through really, really slow chord progressions, but echoes with such wonderful textures and dynamics that it becomes almost transcendental.
Soul Data Transfer :: Soul Data Transfer EP (EC Underground)
The four tracks on Soul Data Transfer’s eponymous debut EP for ECU are delicately woven, abstract ambient-glitch morsels that flow and transcend space and time.
vssp :: Over the sun (Kalamine)
As a whole, vssp’s Over the sun has a consistent feel and a steady pace. It is best for meditative moods, for periods of quiet and extended listening. The temporary nature of modern life is connoted throughout.
