Pera Sta Ori :: Throwdowns EP (To Pikap)
An explosive two track trip to tide us over, available on 7″ vinyl and digital, George Kontogiannidis’ Pera Sta Ori moniker (aka ΠΕΡΑ ΣΤΑ ΟΡΗ) drives his message of old-school, rave centered electronics to the core.
William Fields :: Bokuseki (EVEL)
As noted on the press-release, William Fields “explores the limits of algorithmic composition and code-based digital technology,” with Bokuseki revealing eight complex soundscapes that flicker, fade and fracture.
Build :: A Development with a Grid of Streets and a Shopping Center Heart (Audiobulb)
The brittleness and careful attention to every microscopic note, melody, click, and lullaby rhythm tends to ebb and flow, allowing Build to quite literally build upon a variety of abstract bits and pieces that are somehow glued together.
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.
Colin Muir :: Interminstrel (Concrete Collage)
Calm analog flutter tugs at the heartstrings as Colin Muir sculpts a myriad of classic experimental electronic musings.
Minotaur Shock :: Chaff Probes (Self Released)
A lot of what I can also appreciate in this release is the spatial layering. Minotaur Shock employs a degree of ‘less is more’ as he allows movements to build, whilst simultaneously dismantling and pushing parts to other areas of the sonic field.
Steve Hadfield :: Industrial Chillout Complex (Werra Foxma)
A swirling smorgasbord of blissful blips and bleeps, tiny mechanical gears rotate and crunch their way through, often leaving the listener to submerge themselves in these mysterious aural fluctuations.
Reclusive experimental electronic music duo Loess announce Totems — exclusive steam of “blaen”
Totems displays Loess’ adeptness at fusing ambient, dub, garage, and “intelligent dance music” to create a unique take on electronic music.
4T Thieves :: Fame is an Addiction EP (Mahorka)
Taking us to a simpler time, a place where comfort and familiarity reside—the nostalgia of distant memories, sounds, and feelings keep our minds tuned as 4T Thieves continues to extract swirling synthesizer strains.
V/A :: Communication Themes Vol. 10 (Renraku)
Renraku continue to evolve as their revolving Communication Themes compilation series expands and contracts with creative and exploratory electronics.
