Datassette :: Offal 2 (1996-2025) (Self Released)
Datassette charts not just stylistic fluency but lived evolution. These are not genre exercises but chapters of a sustained devotion to electronic form.
Joachim Spieth :: Blended (Affin)
Joachim Spieth’s Blended is a slow-burn study in restraint, where cavernous low-end, suspended atmospheres, and negative space converge into a deeply immersive, late-night listening experience.
TUFT ZONG :: TUFF ZONGS (TUFT ZONG) — [concise]
TUFT ZONG’s eight-track suite pulses with deep, minimalist dub-techno, weaving abstract bass currents and Pole-esque refractions into a subtle, immersive storm. Each track balances sleek, spacious textures with restrained yet intoxicating rhythmic architecture, from slow-motion dub to cascading ambient decay to cascading ambient decay.
Guentner Spieth :: Conversion (Affin)
Markus Guentner and Joachim Spieth reunite for Conversion, their second collaboration on Affin, blending ambient expanses with dub-driven detail through a contemporary lens. Minimalist yet immersive, the album balances rhythmic depth and atmospheric stillness, reflecting the artists’ shared roots in early ambient, dub, and deep techno while continuing their distinctive sonic evolution.
Grant Deane :: A Coruscating Hope (◢sidehatch)
A Coruscating Hope bends its structures into semi-familiar dance contours, then dissolves them. It’s here that a subtle storm of grayscale noise and electrical charge animates an intricate, shifting sound world—where experimental electronics meet a shadowy, tactile form of techno.
Arrowounds :: The Loneliness of the Hollow Earth Explorer Vol. 1 (Lost Tribe Sound)
Arrowounds delivers the music, magic and mystery, solidifying the esoteric energies emanated from the underworld into the medium of this album. It’s a perfect soundtrack for getting lost in the labyrinthine depths waiting to be discovered beneath the surface of everyday Ohio and Kentucky.
Monolake :: Gravity (Reissue) (Field) — First vinyl pressing
Monolake explores the earth and the heavens as well as man’s place in them, their soundtrack being sculpted with daring simplicity to achieve complexity and intricacy of expression and form.
Reverb Delay :: The Storm Has Passed (Mighty Force)
These spherical, dub-heavy, technoid soundscapes engulf everything in their path, slowly progressing down various ridges, valleys, and depressions along sloping terrain. Walking through surrounding fog, the throbbing beats and atmospheric textures hypnotize our senses.
CHXFX :: Rafter Castanets (Plastic Horse)
A surreal visual and aural impression is elevated by the clinical accuracy of each composition, its punctuated rhythms, and its blend of dub techno strands cut with skeletal electronics and tangled synth peripherals.
