Mitoma :: Fragments (Section 27)
All manner of disjointed and deconstructed electronics are on deck (as usual) from Mitoma (aka Tam Ferrans), a sonic craftsman we’ve been following for several years.
Foodman :: Yasuragi Land (Hyperdub)
Yasuragi Land serves as an invitation to listen closely to what the reality is telling and decipher all of its accompanying messages, delivering a blissful experience even on the littlest of the little things.
Soup :: Diamond Eater EP (Detroit Underground)
Diamond Eater, Part 5 of Detroit Underground’s Hyperglitch series curated by Woulg, attempts to not only extend the glitch genre, but also extrudes further details buried in its tangled outer shell.
Phoenecia :: MD.SLVG (Megastructure)
A salvaged live disintegration from the golden age of IDM brainhacking.

As noted on the press-release, William Fields “explores the limits of algorithmic composition and code-based digital technology,” with Bokuseki revealing eight complex soundscapes that flicker, fade and fracture.
Build :: A Development with a Grid of Streets and a Shopping Center Heart (Audiobulb)
