b0t23 + inoperative system :: Reticle Remixed Pt. 2 (Patterned Media) — [concise]
Interlinked through shared signal and intent, Reticle emerged in early 2024 as a transatlantic alliance between Málaga’s inoperative system (Diego Ruiz) and Portland producer b0t23 (Beau Crouch), setting the foundation for a forward-leaning electro vision now pushed further through radical reworks of “Iluvia” and “Simplo” courtesy of ADJ, Justin Maxwell, Ignatius, and Rec_Overflow.

A Deep Dive into Autechre :: From Early Brilliance to Late-Period Noise—A Journey Through Their Evolution
