William Fields :: Bokuseki (EVEL)
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)
The brittleness and careful attention to every microscopic note, melody, click, and lullaby rhythm tends to ebb and flow, allowing Build to quite literally build upon a variety of abstract bits and pieces that are somehow glued together.
LAITR :: Sapphire Send (Acroplane)
The Madrid-based producer from Manchester delivers old-school blistered beats with downtempo elements and tosses them about. The resulting deconstructed and bass-infused tracks tend to shift and shatter.
Colin Muir :: Interminstrel (Concrete Collage)
Calm analog flutter tugs at the heartstrings as Colin Muir sculpts a myriad of classic experimental electronic musings.
V/A :: Interstellar Communications Vol 2.1 (Pyramid Transmissions)
Ultimately an upper level smorgasbord of audible electrons that doesn’t let up even for a moment, Pyramid Transmissions have curated another top release that contains just enough energy to thrust us into Interstellar space without looking back. IC2.1 is the quintessential catalog of electro and highlights the best in the scene.
Steve Hadfield :: Industrial Chillout Complex (Werra Foxma)
A swirling smorgasbord of blissful blips and bleeps, tiny mechanical gears rotate and crunch their way through, often leaving the listener to submerge themselves in these mysterious aural fluctuations.
Tom Hall :: Failed Attempts at Silence (Superpang)
All compositions are steady and laid back, showcasing intermingling patterns of varied lifeform, all of which allow for a great sense of escapism directly through the headphones.
V/A :: Communication Themes Vol. 10 (Renraku)
Renraku continue to evolve as their revolving Communication Themes compilation series expands and contracts with creative and exploratory electronics.
Aeon Cub :: Vacant King (Kaer’Uiks)
The sometimes frenetic breaks and beats avalanche are counterbalanced by punctuated low-flying rhythms, taking us to those brittle and precision IDM releases of yesteryear (ref. Brothomstates, Karsten Pflum, Proem, Xela, Gimmik et al).
The Fire Video :: 海空時間電子宇宙 (Self Released)
The album starts off with fluctuating IDM and beat-infused choruses to jazz-blasted and grooving hip-hop sound sculptures, and eventually transforms into dreamlike fragments that appear to have no end and no beginning.
