Dragon :: From silence, impermeable space EP (Ryu)
From silence, impermeable space EP transitions, and fades away as if nothing ever happened. As if these peculiar disheveled electrical bits were perhaps a mirage; that once we’ve wiped our eyes to see better, only vanishes into thin air.
Jvox :: Strange Universe 3 (Component)
SU3 is yet another foray into the unknown; allowing its listeners to traverse distant and dense sound structures that are utterly unique and abstract, eerie and serene, chaotic and calm, and often at the same time.
Solypsis :: Recidivist (Component)
Solypsis drives a powerful wedge through the whole electronic scene—leaving a jagged and bumpy trail that very few are able to replicate.
Cathode Ray Tube :: Wandering Stars EP (Condition:Human)
Cathode Ray Tube’s form of crunchy industrial glitch and blurry hypnotics continues to expand via Wandering Stars’ 4-piece suite.
Cathode Ray Tube :: FOREBODING COLOURS EP (Condition:Human)
