Often paralleled among artists such as Richard Devine, Xanopticon, and Qebrus, the Chicago native tilts sound forms into a microcosm of glitch and mechanical gaps, exposing what is arguably the pinnacle of his discography.

MANASYt :: The Genetic Lottery (Lunatic Rec.)
An album brimming with maintained malice, a malice that rails against automaton acceptance and the collective rot that has set in. A rubber faced prophet who throws two fingers into the air and lets his beats fly.
Huxion :: Huxion (ata:empire)
The subdued ambient techno strands and melodic rhythms oscillate back and forth with thoughtfully placed atmospheric pulses, creating a sound as hazy as time itself.
Lovetrip / Oli Love :: Ecstasy in Sound
Behind an unabashedly bass-heavy backdrop, Lovetrip astonishingly and consistently maintains a clear palette of beats with a perceptible groove. Having listened to three of his albums on the Móatún 7 label, my curiosity has only increased.
Panopticum :: Apophenia EP (Nenormalizm)
Ultimately an EP that references early IDM years, including “connection” points such as Proem, Ochre, The Flashbulb, and Bad Loop—it’s succinctly mechanical and utterly balanced front to back.
AeTopus :: Cup (Spotted Peccary Music)
Can a story thousands of years old really reach us today? This is instrumental music that I find inspiring and clearly suitable to accompany listening with our mind’s ear…
Marco Simioni :: FOMO (Detroit Underground)
Another incredibly surreal album of cutting-edge experimental electronic music from a gifted sound design artist.
Affluencer :: aux4439 (mindcolormusic)
In its ten sonic Polaroids, which are wide and bursting with life, there are cracked clip-hop moments as well as early Skam and Toytronic days of murky electrical flows and brittle lullaby mechanics.
