Solar blends characteristic brittle electronic textures with smooth, precisely crafted structures and tightly wound glitch elements.

WE FORFEIT :: Radio Relativa #47
A few weeks back, we were lucky enough to share the booth with the always excellent Neud Photo. Robbie hopped on the train and made it by the skin of his teeth to Luv Bar where the pair served some a cocktail of electro, new beat and even some Italo.
Solar X :: Masters Of Meanders (Ant-Zen)
Masters Of Meanders threads together the past with forward-thinking precision that’s as timeless as it is innovative.
Michael Brückner :: The Seven Planes of Dreams (Cyclical Dreams)
The Seven Planes of Dreams draws from a lot of different sources, such as the esoteric idea of five levels of consciousness, the scientific view of different phases of sleep, elements of our daily lives mingling with messages from our subconscious mind and with impressions received from books, or movies, from pictures and also other music.
Luc Van Acker :: Claustrophobia at its best
The daily overwhelm of incoming stimuli and the paralyzing consequences thereof.
Rodrigo Passannanti :: Forgotten Worlds (Cyclical Dreams)
Forgotten Worlds lives up to its name, blending the rich, hidden depths of synthesizers with the extraordinary realms they conjure. It beckons us to explore the enigmatic, untamed heartbeat of existence itself. With layers of complexity and an all-encompassing energy, these Forgotten Worlds are treasures meant to be rediscovered, time and time again.
Survey Channel :: Functional Gloss (Self Released)
The fluid, unhurried march of time—where each second blends seamlessly into the next, constantly shifting and evolving—creates the perfect backdrop for albums like Functional Gloss by Buffalo’s Matt Donatelli, under his Survey Channel project.
Özcan Saraç :: Neural Generators of the Auditory Brainstem Response (Evel)
Less than a year after TON, a two-hour-and-a-half glitch mammoth that made it into Igloo’s Best of 2024 round-up, Özcan Saraç is back on Evel with Neural Generators of the Auditory Brainstem Response—and if TON already seemed daunting for its lengths and experimentation, Saraç’s seventh album ups the ante, clocking over 330 minutes divided into twenty-five movements.
Fantastic Twins :: Suite of Rooms (House of Slessor)
All in all, this is an album that doesn’t fail to entertain those looking for interesting, leftfield electronica. The aesthetic of this LP very much matches its concept, and if you want to feel like you’re part of the labyrinth yourself, might as well try and do the one on the cover, only to realize after a little bit that it’s completely closed off and you’d feel as lost as you should.
