It’s Cancelled is a top-tier EP for 2024, and is a strong and comprehensive collection of six tracks with mind-blowing tectonic tempos, low-flying bass-beats, and magnetized electro-nics.

Warrington-Runcorn New Town Development Plan :: Your Community Hub (Castles In Space)
Your Community Hub is a great take on a classic style of electronic music. While it’d be easy to discredit this LP as just rehashed old techniques, the execution is what ultimately sets it apart, so much so that if this style happened to resuscitate in a couple years to come, Warrington-Runcorn New Town Development Plan would be one of the names to hail and remember—and I promise—it’s not that challenging to do so.
NYORAI :: Shinkirō (蜃気楼) (Mahorka)
A well-balanced album of emotive experimental electronic music that aims to expose finer visual-audio fragments in its dense sound design. An upper-level release we’ll keep in constant rotation.
Abul Mogard & Rafael Anton Irisarri :: Impossibly Distant, Impossibly Close (Black Knoll Editions)
Impossibly Distant, Impossibly Close is a brooding and at the same time priceless contemplative effort for entrancing noises, velveting drones and revered guitar phrasings.
shimura :: Room Two (Polygon Network)
A variety of abstract electronic genres are explored in shimura’s Room Two, which blends breakbeat, ambient, IDM, drone, and complex beat patterns into a well-balanced, harmonious feast.
Anthené :: Stray Light (Floralia)
Anthené never ceases to please our meditative capacity of listening and Stray Light is highly recommended for those who like gauzy shoegazing excursions and warm tonal drones.
Dark Sky Alliance :: Interdwell (Spotted Peccary Music)
This album is thought to be organized in chapters, and each chapter best represents an evolving sound poem or improvisational mnemonic device, based on an evolving intergalactic culture. Now step through the portal and leave everything behind, enter Interdwell time.
Oberman Knocks :: Khaptop Arc Phore EP (Errorgrid)
Errorgrid, who keep putting out darker sounds of the present future, opens UK-based Nigel Truswell’s account under his Oberman Knocks moniker. Khaptop Arc Phore then takes the imprints theme a step further with a four-track blackened IDM flood of distilled soundscapes.
