R_Garcia :: Ojo EP (Nophi)
With each new release Randy is able to create distinctive sounds that defy genre norms. Ojo his first solo release in six years is no exception to this—featuring drastic variations stylistically from track to track.
exm :: Post Acuem (Self Released)
exm manages to dive into blissful sound design elements that at once sound mechanical and arcane but somehow also exude emotivly magnetic attractions.
kojoohar × ködzid goo :: dotla (Ant-Zen)
Analog soundscraping noise cemented by fractured industrial tropes is par for the course, and yet the duo from Northern Komi lands (ködzid goo) and Southern Ukraine (kojoohar) manage to create molten lava flows where abstract downtempo hip-hop is ravaged by atmospheric mechanical warfare.
Roel Funcken :: S1.MK2 (Self Released)
By pushing and pulling on a vast tapestry of textured noises and glittery soundscapes, the exploratory nature of this album is offset by its attention to nuanced, imprecise and sparkling electronic flutter.
Terror Peaks :: Terror Peaks EP (MOTR)
Each piece contains enough content and creative fuel to keep our attention zoned in while shards of electro, breaks, and technoid forms are exposed with jazzier outer layers.
Fxbip :: Choke / Ame Polaire (Concrete Collage)
Fxbip shatters preconceived notions of nonsensical experimentation and instead focuses on unique (even if a bit turbulent) concrete sound collages that bend, flex, and splinter with a punctuated sheen.
Seigo Aoyama :: On The Drift (Audiobulb)
Darker strands mix with lightened pitter-patter tones that simply fade away. These unusually magnetic sonic traverses detail organic, nostalgic, and atmospheric forays that should be absorbed as a whole to even begin to capture its aural glow.
LL321 :: Ballistics EP (Roulette Rekordz)
There are beautiful lines of haunting otherworldly melodies woven throughout some of the rhythmic fortresses, making this a very re-listenable release with a variety of moods and vibes.
ΠΕΡΑ ΣΤΑ ΟΡΗ :: IMMI EP (MUSAR)
On IMMI, the ominous mood is offset by ricocheting beatwork and breakbeat impulses that never outstay their welcome.
Rudy Adrian :: As Dusk Becomes Night (Spotted Peccary)
Each piece an ebb and flow connected by atmospheric notes, drones, and extended waves. Creating a dreamlike soundscape—a place to drift away to—Rudy Adrian carves a serene landscape of dust, debris and delicate structure.
