Pentagrams Of Discordia :: Triskaidekaphobia Extd. (Sounds Of Discordia)
Here, time blurs. Languid pulses, dusky synth-lines, erratic vocal fragments, and serpentine grooves conjure a place half-remembered—at once familiar and untethered, a kind of sonic déjà vu.
Wake :: Viridiflora EP (Schematic) — [concise]
Though deceptively simple on the surface, these pieces reveal a deep-rooted command of mood and motion, offering a wistful nod to the IDM genre’s emotive past without getting lost in its complexity.
Karsten Pflum :: Bexet (Touched Music)
This latest outing reveals a refined yet playful evolution, where analog warmth meets a pulse-driven foundation. With rhythmic patterns that sway between funky downtempo and braindance fragments, Bexet dances fluidly through melodic motifs and lullaby-like phrases.

This body of work stands as a singular achievement—uniting fractured percussion, deep low-end gravity, and razor-sharp production. Each piece resonates simultaneously as a cohesive statement and a series of singular visions.
V/A :: Solidarity [complete]: A Benefit Compilation for the ACLU (Voidstar Productions)

In its sprawling chaos and cathartic clamor, Solidarity [complete] doesn’t just advocate—it agitates, igniting sparks of resistance in every distorted signal.
William Fields & Synalegg :: Illcom (Evel) — [concise]
William Fields & Synalegg form an unorthodox alliance—uncanny, compelling, and persistently on the frontier of rhythmic evolution. Their union reshapes auditory terrain, an enigmatic dialogue between circuitry and emotion.
Andrey Kiritchenko :: Rust Trust EP (POLAAR) — [concise]
Ukrainian producer Andrey Kiritchenko, a deft multitasker, revisits early rhythmic IDM roots on Rust Trust, blending fleeting beats with subtle vocal flourishes.
Dalham :: Cobra / And The Sun (Castles in Space)
Fresh from his music being picked up for a Ridley Scott Netflix production, Dalham brings the required noise in Cobra / And The Sun, a twin release from the estimable Castles in Space set to alter states across the planet.
