Death By Drone :: Complex (Labile)
Industrial rhythms and explosive beats, aggressive textures, unsettling ambient, and resonating drones create aggravated assemblages that mirror the advanced architecture of the market forces as driving as the bass drops and as savage as the distorted beats.
Dragon :: In The Year Of… (Ryu)
The artist’s ability to regulate and crunch such modular mayhem amplifies the pummeling sound-scraping detail of its ten tracks, which are scorched to no end by the overpowering combination of noise and distinct machine rhythms.
Durance :: Crisis Design EP (Cat Secam Works)
Crisis Design is a brief but unmistakably impactful collection that rarely loses steam.
DELI KUVVETI :: Micro Dramas (Evel)
Micro Dramas is a captivating album that strikes an ideal balance of calm and agitated electrical flurries that we keep returning to.

An expansive field of musical pulsars ebb and flow seamlessly at the highest level as Language Field’s original audio works are only further amplified on Reworks, resulting in one of our favorites of 2024.
Francis Morning :: Subtle Bodies (Lo Recordings)

These spherical, dub-heavy, technoid soundscapes engulf everything in their path, slowly progressing down various ridges, valleys, and depressions along sloping terrain. Walking through surrounding fog, the throbbing beats and atmospheric textures hypnotize our senses.
