In this latest assemblage, the album builds upon itself with each piece blissfully disjointed and drawing us into the void. Expanding from every angle, subtle electronic entanglements flourish with dark and light shadows.

Suumhow :: A world of errors and glitches
“Suumhow is what happens when two childhood friends who discovered electronic music together in their teens and then reunite 20 years later.” On the heels of their 5th album, appropriately titled 5ilth—available on n5MD October 25, 2024—Suumhow took some time out of their schedule to discuss the good old days of IDM, their backgrounds, processes, and beautifully choreographed sonic glitches.
Dissolved :: The Misleading Echo (Dissolvedamberrooms)
Through the combination of coalescing emotions and natural musical extrusions, Dissolved leaves us with misleading echoes that are both reassuring and distracting, frequently simultaneously.
Stefan Vincent :: Post Melancholy (Musar)
These eight tracks, ranging from the mid-90s IDM boom to today’s high-level production qualities, use lost time capsules and sophisticated synth-techno fissures to create detailed sonic shadows and throbbing breaks, bass, and broken beats.
Greg Davis :: Full Spectrum 3/7 (Autumn)
The sensation is not of a linear event but a cyclical one, constantly ebbing, flowing, evolving and repeating. In these pieces Davis seeks to enfold, embrace and uplift the listener with these enveloping works.
Kettel & Secede :: When Can (Deluxe Edition) (Lapsus, Perennial Series)
And so we come to When Can, the strangely enigmatic and oft-overlooked collaboration between Kettel and the equally elusive Secede. I’ll admit to being as surprised as I was delighted when Lapsus announced its reissue as a deluxe vinyl edition because it’s an album I adore, so much so this is now the third time I’ve written about it.
Bernhard Living :: From Here to There (Self Released)
One of the many experimental three-track records from Bernhard Living, From Here to There is yet another exploration of tonality and thought.
Squarepusher :: Ultravisitor (20th Anniversary Deluxe Expanded Edition) (Warp)
For the 20th anniversary, Warp is proud to present this expanded deluxe version of Squarepusher’s Ultravistor— a limited edition one-time pressing, carefully remastered from the original recordings by Jason Mitchell at Loud Mastering and overseen by Tom Jenkinson. Never entirely satisfied with the sound of the original release, Tom has relished the opportunity to bring out fresh dynamics and detail in the tracks.
Plastikman :: Musik (30th Anniversary Edition) (NovaMute)
Vinyl reissue of Richie Hawtin’s revered second album as Plastikman remastered from the original tapes. The 30th Anniversary edition of Musik, the groundbreaking second studio album by Richie Hawtin, has been announced for release on NovaMute on December 6, 2024. It is manufactured with environmentally-conscious packaging, pressed on bio-vinyl.
Pentagrams Of Discordia :: Teleportation to Gliese12b (Sounds Of Discordia)
Fluttering beats dissolve within ambient ice sheets, blurred samples, found sounds, and expressive atmospheric shadows that lurk in the background, encapsulating the entire cosmos in a drifting musical mashup.
Nuron :: DAT Tapes Vol 02 (De:tuned)
Interestingly, DAT Tapes Vol 02 casts light on a style that Jusat is not known for. There are moments of his trademark techno, but it is a more floor centric house that is at the heart of the record. The depth of previous productions is less evident, the explorations on offer being more rhythmic than melodic.
