A salvaged live disintegration from the golden age of IDM brainhacking.

Meat Beat Manifesto :: Storm The Studio (Sweatbox / Wax Trax!)
From the way Jack Dangers chose multiple versions of the same song to the unexpected blasts of pure unadulterated distortion, to the chugging beats 10 years ahead of their time.
William Fields :: Bokuseki (EVEL)
As noted on the press-release, William Fields “explores the limits of algorithmic composition and code-based digital technology,” with Bokuseki revealing eight complex soundscapes that flicker, fade and fracture.
Build :: A Development with a Grid of Streets and a Shopping Center Heart (Audiobulb)
The brittleness and careful attention to every microscopic note, melody, click, and lullaby rhythm tends to ebb and flow, allowing Build to quite literally build upon a variety of abstract bits and pieces that are somehow glued together.
LAITR :: Sapphire Send (Acroplane)
The Madrid-based producer from Manchester delivers old-school blistered beats with downtempo elements and tosses them about. The resulting deconstructed and bass-infused tracks tend to shift and shatter.
Colin Muir :: Interminstrel (Concrete Collage)
Calm analog flutter tugs at the heartstrings as Colin Muir sculpts a myriad of classic experimental electronic musings.
Minotaur Shock :: Chaff Probes (Self Released)
A lot of what I can also appreciate in this release is the spatial layering. Minotaur Shock employs a degree of ‘less is more’ as he allows movements to build, whilst simultaneously dismantling and pushing parts to other areas of the sonic field.
Tapes and Topographies :: A Season of Loss (Simulacra)
A Season of Loss may dally with dejection in its forlorn languish with loss, but the ghost is not given up, the balm of its vaporous tones comforting amid the mire.
Aria Rostami & Daniel Blomquist :: Still (Glacial Movements)
The stillness feels more like a cocoon than hibernation, and though no global pandemic or present politics premonition, the world today completely recontextualizes the music, making release delay serendipitous.
Biosphere :: Angel’s Flight (AD 93)
Featuring 12 tracks based on Beethoven’s String Quartet No. 14 spanning the classical-electronics divide with a blend of electronica, hauntological sonics and modern composition, is no exception.
V/A :: Interstellar Communications Vol 2.1 (Pyramid Transmissions)
Ultimately an upper level smorgasbord of audible electrons that doesn’t let up even for a moment, Pyramid Transmissions have curated another top release that contains just enough energy to thrust us into Interstellar space without looking back. IC2.1 is the quintessential catalog of electro and highlights the best in the scene.
