Micro Dramas is a captivating album that strikes an ideal balance of calm and agitated electrical flurries that we keep returning to.

Orghanon :: Future in Motion (Mahorka)
Orghanon (real name Sergio Calzoni; also known by the aliases Act Noir, Colloquio, and ILUITEQ) drifts to the outermost margins, fine-tuning soundscape layers into exploratory listening environments, while downtempo and glitch extrusions build suspensefully.
Francis Morning :: Subtle Bodies (Lo Recordings)
Subtle Bodies delivers tape music and looped technics at the finest in terms of emotional transportation and spiritual ravishment. The result is tenderly soothing and the defective almost glitch-esque nature of the fragmented piano sequences add an atmosphere of warmth melancholia and sorrowing nostalgia.
Reverb Delay :: The Storm Has Passed (Mighty Force)
These spherical, dub-heavy, technoid soundscapes engulf everything in their path, slowly progressing down various ridges, valleys, and depressions along sloping terrain. Walking through surrounding fog, the throbbing beats and atmospheric textures hypnotize our senses.
Aseq :: Thrones (KOMBINE)
These compact sci-fi-infused auditory slabs transport us back a number of years as they continuously shift and fade away, building up to an inevitable breakdown.
Panopticum :: Multisensory Metaphors EP (Polygon Network)
Panopticum’s aptly-titled Multisensory Metaphors is a densely-packed EP combining meditative downtempo electronics, glitch, electro, and IDM in beautiful deconstructive patterns.
rinse.repeat :: A New Braindance Era EP (Clean Error)
Fragmented glitch, beats, melodies, and esoteric rhythms push and pull in a variety of ways during A New Braindance Era, where precision clicks’n cuts are surrounded by complex layers.
CHXFX :: Rafter Castanets (Plastic Horse)
A surreal visual and aural impression is elevated by the clinical accuracy of each composition, its punctuated rhythms, and its blend of dub techno strands cut with skeletal electronics and tangled synth peripherals.
Lucus :: Vectorising (Adventurous Music)
Vectorising continually draws from looping noises until nothing is left but dust. The amount of detail, found sounds, and auditory erosion is absolutely hypnotizing front to back.
