Ditching the percussive side in favor of more timbres and textures, Whatever The Weather II depicts some wonderful spacious soundscapes.

Heavenly Silences and Earthly Noise :: Drone and Ambient Guitar on Silent Records
Sometimes what comes in a flash unfolds over a long period of time. Such a flash came to Silent Records label founder Kim Cascone one winter night as a kid. “I remember sitting in a snowbank and looking up at the stars. I spotted the blue star in the Orion constellation and gazed at it for a long time. Suddenly I had a flash, like one of those speed-collages in a film where hundreds of events all race past in a split second. I call this ‘my download’ & have been unpacking its meaning ever since.”
Amphior :: Disappearing (Glacial Movements)
Disappearing presents lonesome and meandering ambient pieces with a clear stylistic interest for tape loop techniques, blurred-out semi-classical sequences built on the reverbed piano and oxidation feeling from deteriorated-fractured acoustic instrumental signals.
Sukkube :: Turning Point EP (Detroit Underground) — [concise]
Turning Point pulses with a raw, robotic energy across its four tracks, effortlessly blending minimal bleep-techno with intricate bass and jagged sound design. A pure […]
Takeo Watanabe :: Piece of My Scape (Artificial Owl Recordings)
With eleven miniatures that pulse with glitchy nuances and a downtempo heartbeat, Watanabe guides us along unexpected paths, where abstract beats, gently plucked notes, and fuzzy rhythms harmonize in an elegant dance.
ADJ :: Invasion Of The Compliant (Strange But Dance Music) — [concise]
On ADJ’s latest release for Strange But Dance Music, the line between heavy electro/breaks and experimental electronic music blurs to its most surreal form.
Hüma Utku :: Dracones (Editions Mego)
Dracones is a raw, powerful collection of compositions, pulsing with intensity and depth. It’s not a journey for the faint of heart, but for those drawn to music that is both dark and hauntingly beautiful, it strikes a deep, resonant chord.
Damián Anache :: Lento, en un jardín lenticular (Inkilino)
Anache plays a lot with each sound he introduces, and instead of striving for some insane out-of-this world timbres like you may sometimes hear in guitar-driven electroacoustics, he focuses more on building with the more subtle tones he’s creating. Layering and constant variation make this a worthwhile LP for fans of atonal electronic music.
Yoker Moon :: Mood Studies (Waxing Crescent)
Mood Studies encapsulates the transient, fragmented nature of existence, offering a surreal and meditative listening experience that feels both intimate and expansive—a must-listen for those who find beauty in imperfection.
Glitching the Circuit
We don’t have enough Dada in this world of too much data. Something is needed to break-through the over-curated simulacrum that is the online world in order to let in a bit of non-artificial light. One way to make a break is through the deliberate cultivation of the glitch.
Apocryphos :: Atrementia (Cryo Chamber)
Atrementia was composed exclusively with circuit bent hardware, home-made oscillators, pedals and electric guitar fed through analog processing. Your memories are dressed in black. I can see them, you cannot hide from my lost eyes. What I hear are warm, analog noise and looped pedal drone balance light and dark, for day dreamers and long nights of reflection.
