Experimental Electronic Music
Safa flexes a percussive palette that is weighted in bass and granular soundscapes. For fans of Rian Treanor and Gabor Lazar will feel right at home, although Safa’s characteristics are a different take on elasticated figures and whilst may seem like a comfortable entry—this is only the beginning.
Out on the new Molten Moods, headed up by Jonas Yamer, the release comprises of eight compositions performed at the online edition of Rewire Festival 2021.
Chrysalis flows in its transitional state of dysfunctional beauty; where time becomes a loop and all manner of chaos is somehow rolled into one cohesive state of fluctuating calm. A powerful debut, no question.
Downtempo glitch-funk hip-hop and illbient breaks all rolled up into one massive smorgasbord.
Rift reveals machined grooves tethered to turbulent and calm audible vistas—an alluring balance cosily found in darker experimental electronic corners.
More analog and synth-blasted madness from the ever-talented South West Wales, UK-based artist BLAEN (aka John Healy of Somatic Responses).
Simona Zamboli joins another one of electronic music’s mainstay labels Detroit Underground for their latest exploration into sound design with Loisirs.
A departure it may be, but we don’t lose anything that we love; rather gain some new tricks that we can enjoy just as much. […]
The album is at its best when you hear the signature Audiobulb sound of minimalist, at times almost microscopic, glitchy ambient IDM, but there’s also some reverb drenched ambient drone.
The album itself, which features a host of label regulars such as ReKaB, Chevron and Drøn to name a few, is in the most part ambient IDM with some delightful splashes of ambient techno that’s been superbly produced, and I can’t stress this enough. It sounds truly lush.
As much as an inheritor of braindance, Alako is an interpreter of the style. Nothing is overdone on this debut, instead, an equilibrium is found between frenetic noodling and subtle shifts.
