Four Tet :: Three (Text)
The highlights rank among the best executed Four Tet tracks in this vein, and while not everything on this album is super memorable, all the tracks contribute to a really good balance that makes it an overall enjoyable LP.
AK-One :: Nothing Grows in a Straight Line (Common Ancestors)
A two-part voyage into the sublime is achieved through a fusion of styles, expansive ambient sound sources, drifting synths, and gentle guitar tones.
Constant Current :: Inside EP (People Can Listen / Ezhevika)
Constant Current unveils this five-track extended player with fast-moving acoustic acrobatics mixed with ambient streams of subconsciousness and timid melodies immersed in electrically charged layers.
Hooligan :: No Sight EP (Renraku)
A clever three-piece suite of braindance and slow-motion breakcore layered funk.
The Dubnihilist :: Friday 22:05 EP (Dystopian Dub Discotheque)
The Dubnihilist returns with five tracks of dense downtempo dub techno; Friday 22:05 has four versions of the title track—two of which are remixes by Mono Peninsula and Autonomaton
Flathan :: Archive (Aduaine)
These unearthed sound archives, which have the aura of dusty electronica and give us the impression that we have been living with these auditory Polaroids for a while, are arguably one of 2024’s least expected surprises.
Poppy H :: Confidence Of Crisis EP (Cruel Nature)
Poppy H creates dubby, almost aquatic sound structures that are characterized by a downtempo lo-fi feel and whirling electrical debris fields.
