The shear amount of detail and crunchy rhythms that inhabit each track build up and break down, only to be reassembled like an experienced audio technician hard at work.

Ocoeur :: Connections (n5MD) — album premiere
The whole album hints at a long, gently unwinding story featuring natural expectant essences, but often with a certain melancholy just within the sphere of feelings. Calming sequences are ever present, often interspersed with fundamental elements of sedate joy.
V/A :: Artist Showcase – 2nd Edition (Point Source Electronic Arts)
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.
BLUSH RESPONSE :: RECONSTITUTION (Megastructure)
BLUSH RESPONSE takes us on a 7-track excursion as we wade through mangled industrial vines, whilst ducking predatory adversaries in this dark and twisted crevice.
Heogen :: Odd Radio Circle (Touched Music)
As you get to know the tracks more, you will also get to know Heogen more—from the fully immersive arrangements, melodies that feel like kisses, and rhythms that will have you moving your mind and body.
SMPL SMPL :: Portals EP (Roulette Rekordz)
Where syncopated beats and bass frolic with robotic grooves and electro shards, Portals is four tracks of utter rhythm.
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.
QRTR :: infina ad nausea (Dome Of Doom)
QRTR manages to cast a wide net without stepping away from her integrity as a producer as she confidently explores possibilities in this swirling sonic exhibition.
Humanoid :: 7 Songs (De:tuned)
Amongst these is a taster of experimentation, yet the main course is one of bold and brilliant techno from a pioneer; seven tracks that build on from the past and will make many nightclubs shake, hopefully, in the near future.
