Experimental Electronic Music
More techno from Bradley Strider, Death in Vegas, and Ryan James Ford with all three delivering their own expression of the sound with savage results. We have electro with Cultivated Electronics, To Pikap and Shipwrec, and breaks with DjRum and Withhold. Two hours of nonsensical anecdotes and lots of great music.
That exchange between past and present is central to Axial Opposition. Classic Multiplex structures remain recognizable, yet the melodic synthesis gives them renewed dimension, allowing vintage electronic language to exist alongside contemporary detail.
Poladroïd packs eight lean, muscular tracks with throbbing bass, fat drum-machine punch and just enough EBM grit to keep the whole thing moving.
Kid Bucle, either knowing or unknowingly, takes a lineage built from futurism, tek-funk, broken machinery and the pleasure of the unexpected, then subjects it to contemporary pressure until something new and now begins to emerge.
This is electro with its lineage intact and its eyes firmly ahead: studied, physical, detailed and properly funky. The lesson is simple. Know the form. Then push the production until the form starts pushing back.
For fans of CPU, Carl Finlow and electro’s wider continuum, IXRQ’s command of the language will be immediately apparent. But this isn’t simply reverence for what has been. These are familiar components arranged with enough curiosity to remind us that electro’s future has never been about inventing the machine. It’s about continuing to find new things for it to say.
Concept Record not only works as a creative tool; it demonstrates what can be created when Professor Ben’s instruction is heeded. The concept is to use this record alongside other records to make new records, while providing a legitimate D.H.S. album of its own right—one that embraces the features that help make physical records so fun and appealing.
Six tracks, no wasted motion. ARKADA005 doesn’t revive electro; it plugs it back in, turns the voltage up, and lets the machine speak for itself.
Nicolas Ladoux returns as IKKo with Cheerleader, a five-track release that continues his exploration of neo-industrial electronics through a distinctly European lens.
Always willing to push miles ahead into abstract electronic substructures while reaching back for acid, rave, jungle, breaks, and ultra-low-end vibrations, this is music whose physical impact feels every bit as potent now as it might have in the mid-90s.
From noise to nice. Harsh to honed. Squelch to sculpture. Ectospasm is a 10/10 top-tier proposition for anyone still prepared to leave the comfort of the known and go poking around in whatever is moving about underneath it.
