Following on from 2018’s Spinflex, this latest outing is most enjoyable. While in places it feels like raw studio shenanigans and output, that output has been carefully polished that oozes strength and control along the way.

4T Thieves:: Elder Dawn (Rednetic)
Elder Dawn dips and dives through a kaleidoscope of color to warm the winter months ahead.
amaranth_todd :: The Body Is A Prison EP (Detroit Underground)
Fully formed and constantly splitting apart, a wide angle lens is placed upon hundreds of microscopic bits, bytes, blips, and bleeps, providing ample room for expansion and artistic growth.
Daniel Avery :: Ultra Truth (Mute / Phantasy Sound)
Ultra Truth is a must have album not only for expressing Daniel Avery’s roots and shouting revival music to old heads, but for providing history to young electronic music fans in a contemporary couverture.
ZZY :: Transmutation (Detroit Underground)
ZZY have their sonic machinery tuned with ethereal and expressive glitch-electronics; the blend of atmospheric layers stretch as far as the eyes can see.
Weldroid :: Apprentice of Chaos (Section 27)
A solid package showcasing the artists’ ability to flex and fracture darkened electronics within the constructs of seamless and unexpected ambient voyages.
Roel Funcken :: Data Curation (EC Underground)
Rarely adhering to one rhythmic construct within the confines of a song, individual phrases are crafted to their logical conclusion with real thought as to what should come next.
Beyond the Clones :: Moon Bird (Self Released)
It’s all here, as subdued as it can ever be. Beyond the Clones doesn’t outright produce music that hits you in the face, but rather, massages our subconscious.
Lokom :: Vor Reflex EP (EC Underground)
Broken bass and electronified hip-hop sounds are in full force with Lokom’s latest for EC Underground as Vor Reflex exudes funk and glitch elements torn to shreds.
toka. :: Abnormal Things EP (Heterodox)
A riveting amalgam of all things abnormal yet dauntingly tethered to shifting and surreal downbeat dynamics.
The Jaffa Kid :: Passing Signals (Suction)
On Passing Signals, the Newcastle based musician’s ability to craft rich and textured works using contrasting and sparse sounds is plain to hear. A top record from an artist who is rightly being noticed and will only continue to be so.
