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.

V/A :: Futur (Funkscapes)
Founded on mixtapes, the label has grown into a full vinyl outfit with a catalogue of releases that have focused on disco, funk and 80s electronics. Venturing into the modern age, Futur is a compilation of four artists across six tracks.
HATCH :: Electrode EP (Section 27)
Each track maintains a strong synth infusion gone awry with rough electro, breaks, and rhythmic distortion at the foreground.
David Morley :: Fashion (De:tuned)
Organ groans call forth earthen percussion, dripping clanks and clods of drum soon shed of their organic trappings as industrial tones begin to dominate.
Fluffy Inside :: Unreliable Narrator (Neo Ouija)
In this carnival of music, with an unreliable narrator as your guide, listeners are liable to move from one attraction to the next, thrilled by the slight menace and delighted by the cotton ear candy.
WE FORFEIT :: Radio Relativa #42 — 7″s from Salvation
A show that’s been in the making for well over two decades, two hours dedicated to the most minute of the vinyl formats: seven inches! Robbie goes deep digging into the seven-inch shoebox and comes up with a glut of gold from far and wide.
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.
Heiki :: Valley Beyond (Suction)
Heiki Sillaste draws on his industrial roots while riffling through ambient, electro, house and techno. He selects elements from these varied genres with such a discerning ear that his compositions are never cluttered nor crowded.
Fragile X :: Halcyon Maze EP (Intellitronic Bubble)
Fragile X’s audio work is a delightful discovery, as demonstrated by Halcyon Maze in particular with Iceland’s prolific IDM, electro, and techno imprint Intellitronic Bubble.
V/A :: Quantized Realities – Technology (Errorgrid)
The mighty label Errorgrid is host to an incredible stable of artists working in a wide variety of genres, modes and formats but all reminiscent of “a darker sound of a present future” as the label motto goes. Their Quantized Realities – Technology compilation is a perfect record of the label’s roster and sound.
Neosintetico :: Altered Electrical Transmission EP (Self Released)
Altered Electrical Transmission is an organic yet esoteric collection that unravels with an industrial and glitch/breaks pulse.
