While the futuristic sci-fi tropes are not uncommon in the electro genre as a whole, they are rarely so tastefully integrated into meaningful abstract sound motion without feeling forced or pasted on.

Roel Funcken :: Data Curation (EC Underground)
Rarely adhering to one rhythmic construct within the confines of a song, individual phrases are crafted to their logical conclusion with real thought as to what should come next.
Ion Driver :: Sustain EP (Self Released)
Sustain is a baffling collection maneuvering through the vastness of glitch-space and seamless, cinematic sound design.
Burial :: Streetlands EP (Hyperdub)
Burial shows he’s unafraid of forging ahead even if it strays from his hits. This is aural cinematography created by a master storyteller working not in words but in sound itself.
Beyond the Clones :: Moon Bird (Self Released)
It’s all here, as subdued as it can ever be. Beyond the Clones doesn’t outright produce music that hits you in the face, but rather, massages our subconscious.
Lokom :: Vor Reflex EP (EC Underground)
Broken bass and electronified hip-hop sounds are in full force with Lokom’s latest for EC Underground as Vor Reflex exudes funk and glitch elements torn to shreds.
toka. :: Abnormal Things EP (Heterodox)
A riveting amalgam of all things abnormal yet dauntingly tethered to shifting and surreal downbeat dynamics.
The Jaffa Kid :: Passing Signals (Suction)
On Passing Signals, the Newcastle based musician’s ability to craft rich and textured works using contrasting and sparse sounds is plain to hear. A top record from an artist who is rightly being noticed and will only continue to be so.
V/A :: Leekmatic LKMTC 22 (Schematic / Leek)
Solidifying their stamp on experimental soundscapes and shifting panoramas through the hands of unique sound sculptors, Leekmatic is a baffling assortment.
Jonathan Scherk :: Toon! (Faitiche)
Abruptly formed collages can sometimes have problems with explosive rebar into a buzz-saw like changes in volume levels from sample to sample, here the flow is almost perfect, the content is certainly strange but the volume levels are very smooth.
Fragile X :: The Man With The Plastic Brain (noci miste) — Track premiere “Loaded Dice”
Diligent in design whilst playful throughout, we think this will certainly turn heads for fans of early Warp and Rephlex. Don’t sleep on this one!
