A well-oiled and tightly packed release to kick off 2024 as we keep our ears peeled for more in what could very well be its own genre titled “cold light wave.”
Tag: Breaks
Tarsiform :: Mechanically Reclaimed Pickings (Pingdiscs)
On these jagged aural experiments, scorched percussive rhythms, tangled vocal samples, and braindance components combine and burst leaving us to believe that Tarsiform is an unusual yet creative force to seriously pay attention to.
Anderdog :: Dog Eat Dog (Mestnost)
An album that develops over time, with hundreds of abstract sonic components somehow melding together succinctly.
QphoriQ :: Wonch like Woo (Diffuse Reality)
Wonch like Woo has speaker cones trembling from the needle drop. Employing elements of D&B, electro and even industrial, QphoniQ dowses his productions in low sub to produce a ruffled and textured effect.
Darqhorse :: Digital Dawn (Diffuse Reality)
Featuring a wide range of breaks, electro, techno, and rhythmic swirls among a deluge of strong beats, bass, and wicked distortion, mile-long soundscapes and panoramas are punctuated by its upbeat attitude and acidic surges.
Greystar :: playground 1 (Self Released)
Playground 1 is an EP of six braindance and brittle melodic data streams that can also be found via previously released compilations—particularly with X4 Records.
Life As Sleep :: Don’t Do Anything (Schematic)
Featuring raw/minimal electro and a smattering of old-school breaks, bass, dub, and technoid patterns…
iNFO :: Mitochondrion EP (Computer Controlled)
Another outstanding example of a go-to EP from a skilled electro artisan with a release-worthy imprint. Strongly recommended.
Carl Brown :: Time Slip (Mozyk)
A 12-track behemoth that sputters and shimmies its way through video-game electronics and broken breaks (with three remixes by Poborsk, Wagawaga, and The Ghost of 3.13).
Kroubikou :: PSSGR EP (Concrete Collage)
It’s astonishing how Kroubikou can find the time to combine such a random assortment of oddly engrossing sounds and samples into such short tracks.
