From High School encounters and fax machine correspondences to Detroit recognition, Solvent maps how two Canadians broke onto the scene in the early 1990s.

Robyrt Hecht :: Yskayan Knowledge (YUYAY)
The strictures of electro mean that individualism can be difficult to achieve. With Yskayan Knowledge, Hecht not only expresses himself in a unique manner, the Leipzig musician is proving that the sounds of frigid funk are wide and varied.
Lovetrip :: Little Silver Box (Móatún 7)
Oli Love’s signature sound is the essential ingredient on the Móatún 7 roster. The album in its entirety is indescribably stunning and is the epitome of top-tier ambient electronica.
The KLF :: Chill Out (Wax Trax! / KLF Communications)
The album captures the dizzying sensation of a thirty-hour automobile trip as experienced in that peculiar sensory zone that exists between sleep and brainless absorption of random stimuli.
Myoptik :: Eat At The Dining Table of the Vibrating Sting (Pingdiscs)
There’s something magnetic, somehow fully charged, and buzzing here. Eight tracks of densely layered electronics and crunchy noises wrapping rhythmic distortion courtesy of the ever-talented Myoptik (aka Richard Wilkes).
Surface 10 :: A Stray Ending (DiN)
De Benedictis has always resisted the lure of ancient genre sirens—be they Berlin School graduates, post-Eno acolytes, or hirsute New Agers—instead adopting a unique, individualist strategem where such recognizable elements are but kaleidoscopic effluvium…
Planet Love :: New Era & Adamha (return_backspace)
Both New Era and Adamha will be welcome news to anyone who has followed Marco Repetto. To the newcomer, each 12” illustrated the Italian’s enviable ability to melt genre boundaries and reach exciting new ideas.
V/A :: Alien Transmissions Vol 2 (Pyramid Transmissions)
Featuring ADJ, Hatch, Defunkt Dialekt, and Lectro Cod_E; this EP is right on time for those who enjoy hard-hitting dark electro. Likewise, this works well as a various artist output with all tracks staying true to the project aesthetic and seamless flow from one cut to the next.
tysk raider :: tysk002 (mindcolormusic / tysk)
These sound-art pieces express themselves via synthesizers and beautiful noise boxes, and yet they feel human and organic at the same time.
Inkipak :: +ve (Fourier Transform)
As we drift downstream, the bliss only continues, and makes it harder to fathom how such a coherent and beautifully flowing album can come along and feel like an old friend from the first listen.
Vcam :: Updraft (n5MD)
Dense, rhythmic arrangements and atonal synth pieces collide on Updraft culminating a radically unique listening experience; which if heard in the correct headspace, could potentially alter one’s entire perception of reality.
