You really can’t go wrong with Karsten Pflum, and he continues in his vibrant, acid-tinged electro-nics, full stop, for Central Processing Unit.

scav finds solace in peculiarly compelling minimized clicks and cuts where skillfully weaved ambient noises mingle with darker soundtrack elements producing pleasant tones to the core.

The long time Brazilian DJ and producer Quizzik shows a new side of him through the moniker Lost Tapes of 88.
Squarepusher :: Dostrotime (Warp)
Dostrotime strikes with bold tracks that are not afraid to go all in, whether that’d be with their explosiveness, intricate live playing, or insane drum spasms.
