Lovetrip / Oli Love :: Ecstasy in Sound
Behind an unabashedly bass-heavy backdrop, Lovetrip astonishingly and consistently maintains a clear palette of beats with a perceptible groove. Having listened to three of his albums on the Móatún 7 label, my curiosity has only increased.
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.

Marco Simioni :: FOMO (Detroit Underground)
Another incredibly surreal album of cutting-edge experimental electronic music from a gifted sound design artist.
