Rusuden’s achievement lies in an exceptionally intelligent sonic vocabulary, where beauty emerges through melody, ambience, texture, tone and timbre. Fat bass thumps underpin shimmering synthesizer sonics, while accessible neo-funk grooves provide the connective tissue for twelve assured, mature compositions.
Tag: Braindance
Anorak :: Convolve EP (Defunkt)
This is music pushing impetus and intention to the extreme, gluing together gorilla-XX fury, experimentation and possibility at the very tip of collapsibility and ruin, remaining just faithful enough to sanity to preserve its musical heart.
Acid For The Grandma :: What?
In many respects, the 12”s from Acid For The Grandma sound more like compilations. Each EP has a sense of being distinct and unique rather than a progression from one to the next. The real surprise is that it is one artist behind these releases, one musician exploring acid, ambient, house and techno and doing so from incredibly varied perspectives.
Ignatius :: Noxi Melank (Evel)
Rather than resolving its strange machinery, Noxi Melank leaves it in motion—a collection of damaged systems, unstable rhythms, and modular forms continually finding new ways to become something else.
Marco Simioni :: wave_function (Evel)
wave_function ultimately displays an artist working in top form, mapping out a series of experimental electronic terrains that converge into something uniformly disjointed, immersive, and quietly mind-bending.
The 89th Passenger :: Hidden Soul EP (Analogical Force)
Analogical Force has long occupied the productive tension between experimentation and the dancefloor’s accumulated memory. Hidden Soul sits firmly within that tension, fluent in its established language and meticulously composed. But perhaps the most exciting possibility lies just beyond that fluency: not abandoning the listener, but trusting them enough to take the familiar somewhere unfamiliar.
SUAHN :: Distort Everything Forever (Self Released)
Distort Everything Forever opens in ambience, spends most of its middle throwing rhythmic and low frequency chaos at you, then returns toward atmosphere at the end.
Kid Bucle :: Incompleteness EP (Science Cult)
Kid Bucle, either knowing or unknowingly, takes a lineage built from futurism, tek-funk, broken machinery and the pleasure of the unexpected, then subjects it to contemporary pressure until something new and now begins to emerge.
Otto Taimela :: Cheap Ingredients (Cudighi)
Taimela isn’t trying to recreate the 90s IDM and drum and bass golden era so much as he’s drawing a line from it to the present, letting those influences inform his melodic instincts without being consumed by them. There’s a lightness to how he carries all of that reference—it never feels like homework, never feels like pastiche. It just sounds like a producer who grew up on the right records and internalized them so completely that they became his own vocabulary.
Cathopsis :: Solythode (Component)
Solythode maintains an unrelenting presence, often opening with uneasy ambient-noise structures before expanding toward the outer edges of mechanical rhythms and threaded bass lines that seem to operate just outside our galaxy.
omni causa :: aux4444 pt.1 (mindcolormusic)
A label that kept going, kept releasing, kept refining a shared aesthetic without compromise or concession to trends. aux4444 pt.1 carries all of that history in its drum patterns and melodic builds, and it sounds better for it. This is what underground electronic music looks like when it’s done with genuine conviction over a sustained period of time.
