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.
Serge Geyzel :: Limbo (Diffuse Reality)
With this release, Geyzel shows he can add electro to the list of styles he’s got in the toolbelt. Fast, funky, and smart, this release is a great addition to the genre.
Aeon Cub :: Vacant King (Kaer’Uiks)
The sometimes frenetic breaks and beats avalanche are counterbalanced by punctuated low-flying rhythms, taking us to those brittle and precision IDM releases of yesteryear (ref. Brothomstates, Karsten Pflum, Proem, Xela, Gimmik et al).
Cult48 :: Underground Signals From An Unknown Place (Self Released)
To not only emulate with such accuracy the pads and warm-feelings of Scotland’s well-loved duo, to be able to accentuate and highlight in a truly modern fashion without detracting from the feelings, is a feat in itself.
Nike_Vomita :: MOA087 EP (Móatún 7)
A three piece suite released on a limited (and now sold out) 7″—Nike_Vomita emerges with just over 10 minutes of primed acid technoid extracts that bend, twist, and shift through ambient underpinnings.
WE FORFEIT (Mix 30) :: Radio Relativa #15 febrero – ¡El ACid!
Chris gives us a full hour of acid assortments and sour selections that will leave teeth rattling and neighbors twitching curtains.
