It’s a treacherous drum’n bass maze to navigate—where braindance, extremely saturated beats, low-end breaks, and explosive rhythms collide with the might of a fully-loaded semi truck.

Benge :: Polyrhythmic Electronica (System Of Objects)
Rather skeletal in nature, Polyrhythmic Electronica is mainly dialed in on the glitched out percussion from classic drum machines that sit comfortably atop squelchy synth bass tracks—best enjoyed on a night time drive through the city.
HØST :: The Sacred Grove (Renraku)
The Sacred Grove is a kaleidoscope of impacting sounds and shapes that combines abstract, dub, and 2-step structures.
BLUSH RESPONSE :: Dimensional Research (Kontaktor)
The end product is a potent jumble of industrial goliaths and saturated glitch entangled in a web of modular mayhem.
Unterm Rad :: Unfinished Business (Point Source Electronic Arts)
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.

Deepriver :: Volume One (n5MD)
There is no drippy bubbly burbling river sound, this is all synthesizer and guitar instrumentals, taking the listener to a place as large as the ocean might be…
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.
