There’s red line, thin, but distinct, between different kinds of sounding—between soundalike and sound like, resemblance and redolence, imitation and influence; thus, though sometimes end products may sound similar, in essence they differ crucially.

Inquiri x bvdub :: A Life In Setting Suns (Past Inside The Present)
The album title of this duet of paired longform tracks from Inquiri and bvdub is perfect for the Past Inside the Present label. What is our past, but a life in setting suns? And what is our present but the hope for more sunsets and sunrises.
DFKT :: Armagideon Machines EP (Dystopian Dub Discotheque)
Armagideon Machines is a robust EP pushing forward with sandblasted rhythmic dark-ambient dub strands from the farthest reaches of our universe, and is a treat to consume in one take.
Nuron :: DAT Tapes Vol 02 (De:tuned)
Interestingly, DAT Tapes Vol 02 casts light on a style that Jusat is not known for. There are moments of his trademark techno, but it is a more floor centric house that is at the heart of the record. The depth of previous productions is less evident, the explorations on offer being more rhythmic than melodic.
Scarper :: Noctis EP (Plexus)
Scarper takes a high-octane approach to his already accelerated exp-electronics trajectory.

korrē :: Oizys (Perimeter Junk)
Characterized as “10 tracks of technoblues,” Oizys, the album, follows very much in the vein of the previous Shrapnel, a lowlight minimal variant redolent of some early ’00s Berlin-inflected dub-tech/tech-dub releases.
Displacer :: The Witching Hour SE (The Crime League)
Displacer revisits this iconic record and brings some friends along to partake, creating a flowing and textural audio assault that represents the entire dark electronic music landscape, likely for another decade.
Dorosoto :: Liquid Coast EP (Self Released)
This is music for beachcombing as the coastline gradually recedes and our cities and towns join the life of the sea. A sonar blast that […]
lifeisfeedback :: sado-mechanism EP (GOTO)
Similar to Richard Devine’s industrial synth-mechanics mixed with the rhythmic crunch-hop of Gescom, lifeisfeedback (aka Benjamin Chilton / Elevator Sound) sets a memorable tone as he opens an account with GOTO.
Viktor Van River :: Mania (Self Released)
Mania embodies downtempo approaches to construct its unique message while straddling multiple genres without adhering to any one.
