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.
Steve Hadfield :: Industrial Chillout Complex (Werra Foxma)
A swirling smorgasbord of blissful blips and bleeps, tiny mechanical gears rotate and crunch their way through, often leaving the listener to submerge themselves in these mysterious aural fluctuations.
Tom Hall :: Failed Attempts at Silence (Superpang)
All compositions are steady and laid back, showcasing intermingling patterns of varied lifeform, all of which allow for a great sense of escapism directly through the headphones.
V/A :: Communication Themes Vol. 10 (Renraku)
Renraku continue to evolve as their revolving Communication Themes compilation series expands and contracts with creative and exploratory electronics.
Cult48 :: Underground Signals From An Unknown Place (Self Released)
To not only emulate with such accuracy the pads and warm-feelings of Scotland’s well-loved duo, to be able to accentuate and highlight in a truly modern fashion without detracting from the feelings, is a feat in itself.
Owen Vince :: Old Sympathy (Slow Dance)
There’s some excellent electronic work throughout—real deep and crunchy sounds sit comfortably against the broken-up ambient backdrops.
Xordox :: Omniverse (Editions Mego)
Omniverse is otherworldly in a futuristic and Sci-fi kind of way, yet it holds all those classic sounds emanating from a 1980s inspired European synth sound. From this release an intricate soundtrack emanates, often touching upon the fringes of techno rave, yet it never sounds recycled in any way and holds its own originality.
The Fire Video :: 海空時間電子宇宙 (Self Released)
The album starts off with fluctuating IDM and beat-infused choruses to jazz-blasted and grooving hip-hop sound sculptures, and eventually transforms into dreamlike fragments that appear to have no end and no beginning.
Fail & Hendekagon :: Rust (Adventurous Music)
These scorched and often blistered sandstorms are pulled together with a soundtrack-infused sheen, as if intentionally meant to rust and permanently damage itself along the way.
Kero :: Demo Vectors (Detroit Underground)
Sandblasted electronics mixed with shattered glass and corrosive blips’n bleeps, Demo Vectors acts as Kero’s raison d’etre as each piece eclipses itself.
