Through the combination of coalescing emotions and natural musical extrusions, Dissolved leaves us with misleading echoes that are both reassuring and distracting, frequently simultaneously.

Stefan Vincent :: Post Melancholy (Musar)
These eight tracks, ranging from the mid-90s IDM boom to today’s high-level production qualities, use lost time capsules and sophisticated synth-techno fissures to create detailed sonic shadows and throbbing breaks, bass, and broken beats.
Pearl River Sound :: You have to love yourself a fire (Evel)
You have to love yourself a fire surrounds itself by a plethora of abrupt breaks and distorted electro-nics; going on several tangents with low-flowing synth sections complemented by precision audio plateaus.
DFKT :: Armagideon Machines EP (Dystopian Dub Discotheque)
Armagideon Machines is a robust EP pushing forward with sandblasted rhythmic dark-ambient dub strands from the farthest reaches of our universe, and is a treat to consume in one take.
V/A :: XVIII (Acroplane)
A powerful amalgamation detailing Acroplane’s musical trajectory as they continue to scrape deep and jagged fissures into the terrain year after year.
Yaporigami :: AE–10 EP (Adepta Editions)
On this two-tracker for Adepta Editions, Yaporigami (aka Yu Miyashita), a master sound sculptor, wraps distressed melodic landscapes with such strongly engulfing electronic structures that decompose before our very eyes.
Syl Kougaï :: Modular Series • Season-02 – A Journey into Organic Chaos (Episode 1) (Self Released)
Modular mayhem maestro Syl Kougaï makes a comeback with his Modular Series • Season-02 and the title of the first four episodes—A Journey into Organic Chaos—is fitting as it seamlessly takes us on a voyage through “reality-warping” soundscapes, industrial tropes, and crumpled electronic trails.
Tescon Pol :: The Longer Morrow (Concrete Collage)
The duo’s exceptional ability to create gritty compositions, minuscule glitch shapes, and abstract vocal data streams, all coalesce in The Longer Morrow, a potent auditory collection.
ZeckDBH :: Quartet (zanderhythm)
The duo flex melodic fibers and braindance shards over a wide spectrum with funky beats, synaptic pulses, and fluttering synths. Their capacity to produce squelchy, nearly lifelike shapes is equally susceptible to deformation in the form of elastic vibrations
Shahzad Ismaily, Stanford Cheung, Andrea Scala :: ENDROLL EP (Aural Shapes)
ENDROLL is an EP that weaves together a landscape of multi-instrument improvisations. The genesis of this album began with the question of whether all music needs a beginning, and instead, to hypothesize on whether music could still retain intention when drawn from a place of “finality.”
