UnknownDivide :: Existence (Labile)
One simply cannot pigeonhole UnknownDivide, and maybe that’s the intention. When sparks like “Reverence” punctuate your soul and the title track pierces our ventricles, one can only imagine where we’ll be taken next.
Velum Break :: Cloaca EP (Analogical Force)
Velum Break sets the stage for an expressive and ghostly sonic mishmash that is positively on point and pushes the braindance genre just a little further.
Synade :: Synade (Megatape)
A visceral collection of organized electronic mayhem from broken breaks, heavier hitting drums, blips’n bleeps, erratic breakcore vs braindance, early synth-pop/punk, acid noodling and did we mention low-end rattling?

V/A :: Sunwarped Vol. 1 (Sunwarped)

On Zooproxiscopy we find Hanut Munson deliver tranquilized electronic layers of dust where delicate pitter-patter beats flutter in the wind and melodic notes drift somewhere in the margins while simultaneously moving colorful sound images.
Fxbip :: Beyond EP (Xephem)
8-bit breaks are crunched, deformed, and plastered against voice snippets, acidic squelches, and chiseled video-game moments. Basically, the whole kit and caboodle is discovered on Beyond by Montreal’s drill’n bass technician Fxbip.
