Jvox :: Strange Universe 3 (Component)
SU3 is yet another foray into the unknown; allowing its listeners to traverse distant and dense sound structures that are utterly unique and abstract, eerie and serene, chaotic and calm, and often at the same time.
SIMM :: Too Late To Dream (Ohm Resistance)
A subtly extreme culmination of sandblasted dub extracts and tempered downtempo slices.
Space Afrika :: Honest Labour (Dais)
A sprawling 19-track movement of textures, contorted ambient spaces and beautifully crafted open-ended melodic performances. Space Afrika have delicately created a vulnerable sonic tapestry that your senses believe to be almost entirely organic.
Meat Beat Manifesto :: Storm The Studio (Sweatbox / Wax Trax!)
From the way Jack Dangers chose multiple versions of the same song to the unexpected blasts of pure unadulterated distortion, to the chugging beats 10 years ahead of their time.
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.
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.
V/A :: Adykt (Dyadik)
Adykt is representative of the continuous growth of experimental electronic music and where it can take us, the listener. And for all those beautifully disjointed sonic shapes and forms that engulf us, Dyadik remains on the right track.
