illocanblo :: Liminal Rhythms (EC Underground)
The initial EP showcases the Russians’ skill at odd blips, bleeps, and low end manipulation as well as acid breaks and pulsing electro hijinks in full gear. A stand-alone and exceptional EP, the remix compilation that follows is equally perplexing.
Bovaflux :: Strange Tales (mindcolormusic / [d]-tached)
Symons’ skillful sonic reconfiguration and melancholy rhythms are as sugary as anything we’ve heard recently, serving as a soundtrack to a bygone era, and Strange Tales stands tall as a pinnacle effort.
Hexalyne / Lain :: Evel 46 (Evel)
The tiniest particles and granular rhythms here are seductive and as abstract as ever, but it’s the evenly dispersed ambient threads that hold the disparate parts together so effectively.
Hidden Orchestra :: To Dream is to Forget (Lone Figures)
Brisk and bumpy electronica is submerged in organic soundscapes and sonic vistas that appear out of nowhere.
Robin Saville / The Leaf Library :: Siphonophore / Versatile Clouds (Handstitched*)
Whatever the destinations, the path goes through a multifaceted semi-percussive transformation, weaving melodic fragment elements and cycling through the continuum.
Marcellus Lewis :: Only Elsewhere (Yellow Fantastic)
Marcellus Lewis bequeaths one of the most lofty releases of the year, confirming him as a master of world ambient pop.
WE FORFEIT :: Radio Relativa #31
Robbie and Chris of WE FORFEIT present their latest mix for Radio Relativa #31 and the struggles with Spain’s postal service.
