Lasting close to 70-minutes, this is an extraordinary collection that flexes in experimental appetite, showcasing what I believe to be contemporary IDM at its best.

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.
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.
