Asshole Galaxy :: Irreparable Damage (Mahorka)
A stunning visceral soundtrack and a mission statement for our world’s “leaders” to pay attention to what’s happened, is happening, and sadly repeating itself.
Sole Massif, Tineidae, Access to Arasaka :: Engage EP (Chatsubo)
Dense and fractured aural fields twist apart, scorched and ripped at the seams, the trio smother what feels like hundreds of rhythms.
Matthew Florianz :: Mist Schimmen (Self Released)
Finding a portal to the hollow interior of the earth, never seen before, through changing textures and forms, from deep extended foggy drones to popping electronic beats that hide and barely emerge in places.
Fractalyst :: Watchtower (Cryo Chamber)
This is theater, this is a type of dark story told by sound and I want to go back. There is something behind me now.
Weldroid :: Apprentice of Chaos (Section 27)
A solid package showcasing the artists’ ability to flex and fracture darkened electronics within the constructs of seamless and unexpected ambient voyages.
Burial :: Streetlands EP (Hyperdub)
Burial shows he’s unafraid of forging ahead even if it strays from his hits. This is aural cinematography created by a master storyteller working not in words but in sound itself.
Philippe Blache :: The Ever Sounding Sea Of Grief (GH)

Abdicant :: In-Group (Mahorka)
A calm set of aural vistas drenched with reverberant and blissful low-frequency strands that all mesh together.
subtractiveLAD :: Wreckage (Self Released)
It’s an evocative work with broad, expansive gestures, downshifts that resonate in the bellows of a planet, and soaring updrafts. The subtractiveLAD must flow! Stop […]
NUNDALE :: Nothing, Nothing EP (Errorgrid)
The post-industrial expansion that Olivier Bernard Egli draws from his music machines pierces through Earth’s crust.
