Synonymous with the braindance and IDM scene since its inception, Italian duo D’Arcangelo continue to bring eclectic forms of music reflecting on both past and present forays as we traverse through Arium.

Roel Funcken :: Hexavalent EP (Analogical Force)
Each track dabbles in familiar territories such as electro, braindance and IDM and even some breaks and bass treatment—although each carry traits of each other instinctively through decades of amalgamation.
Notein :: Salire (3OP)
A transitional work that carries narrative like that of an original soundtrack.
William Fields :: Fire EP (dingn\dents)
Fire blends disparate and often broken rhythms surrounded by scorched melodic blips and bleeps that, while seemingly difficult to absorb, are as abstract as sound-art can possibly get.
Dissolved :: Island Flux (Dissolvedamberrooms)
Dissolved finds a sonic tapestry of his own; floating somewhere in the cover artworks’ shallow sea, tranquility and solace surrounds Island Flux. A precious gem.
Lextron :: Trajectory (VLSI)
A solid and rich release with the power to take you to the good old IDM-era and to also pull you right back to the present, with the use of contemporary elements.
D.Vices :: Big Bang Theory EP (Woodwork)
D.Vices is back on Woodwork with an EP of solid electro and expanding the style of his futuristic music.
Aelk Minsur :: Everything is a Nail (Self Released)
Dilapidated soundscapes, broken beats, peculiar conversations, funky shapeshifting, and crunch-hop elements collide in these brisk moments cut with a diamond blade into 18 pieces.
Merrin Karras :: Silent Planet (A Strangely Isolated Place)
The joy of hearing Side A fade out, walking over to the turntable, flipping the record to Side B and dropping the needle again to hear the clang of a gong that starts things up again. It’s a gift to play a part in an album’s forward motion.
The Follower :: Waiting, Occurrence, Dissolve (Concrete Collage)
There are peaks and valleys on Waiting, Occurrence, Dissolve that reward the listener with left-field sound mangling from the outer edges that continue to unfold with each listen.
Gimmik :: “Sonic Poetry” (n5MD) — Video premiere
Martin Haidinger reveals the brittle, crunchy, and sentimental title track from his forthcoming Gimmik album with n5MD in July 2022.
