Almost fifty minutes of improvised spazzing noise and dizzying breaks, all mastered rather loudly, make RiotxNoise far more than exciting; if the premise wasn’t enthralling enough, there’s also vocals and a damn harpsichord on this LP; now that’s good business if you ask me.

Lia Bosch :: Polar Code (Glacial Movements)
Polar Code is a deeply grounded icy synthesized orchestration covered by futuristic, sci-fi cyber-like electronic tones as well as treated acoustic timbres and deep audio moves.
Stone Leaf :: SEISMOS (Detroit Underground)
Embedded with captivating atmospheres, Stone Leaf cogently creates subdued experimental electronic flutter that we’ll continue to revisit again and again.
HERZEL :: See² (Evel)
See² is a brimming collection of diamond-cut electronic gems that simply sparkle from every angle and comes highly recommended.
V/A :: I Only Like Difficult Art (and music) (DAAM)
A double album compilation of experimental, electronic, avant-garde, improvised, and ambient music, celebrating 3 years of Difficult Art (and music).
Everyday Dust :: Overtones (Dustopian Frequencies)
The bell has sounded and the sharp attack of that first clang belies the long decay as it drifts across time.
Shentov, Simitchiev, Lukanov :: Pain and Power (Amek Collective)
An affecting sonic fluctuation of dark ambient surrealism, and a highly recommended deep dive.
Fennesz :: Mosaic (Touch)
Mosaic is yet another valid addition to Fennesz’s already spotless catalog. Among the many ambient records I’ve heard this year, Fennesz thankfully reminds us of what ambient music can be when it is done in an original way, rather than offering the usual pulp of clean synth pads with some string arrangements.
Bad Sector :: Yela (Les Nouvelles Propagandes)
If you are fond of dystopian electronic coldness of Omit, Franck Riggio, Kcin, Philip Munch and some Lustmord (for the rumbling,) uncanny moody-esque textures, and eerily fixated atmospheres, you won’t be disappointed.
Taylor Made Trilogy Turns to Ash (Nettwerk)
Just in is news of continuation of a new chapter on Nettwerk with the release of Ash, rounding off his EP trilogy, initiated with Eev (igloo-’viewed) and Aer, with its conceptual theme of a ‘life arc’ from exciting new beginnings to the darkness of dealing with life’s challenges.
Drifting In Silence | w-berg :: North Sea (Labile)
North Sea is renewed with musically rich and engaging synthedelic experiences surrounded by sci-fi dystopian conceptual backgrounds and ecological-minded aspirations.
