exm manages to dive into blissful sound design elements that at once sound mechanical and arcane but somehow also exude emotivly magnetic attractions.

Hanut Munson :: Zoopraxiscopy EP (Evel)
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.
HATCH :: Archive: Vol. I (Section 27)
At a surprising name your price offering Archive: Vol. I is a worthwhile investment keeping underground musicians like HATCH (aka London’s prolific Eugene Rowlett) moving towards a mission to re-envision old-school bleep electronics.
HEFT :: Anagram EP (Onset Audio)
Ambient undercurrents are pinned by echoed dub inflections while static charges shimmy through vibrational bass as it all comes together succinctly.
Chaircrusher :: Stars Have Fallen (Triplicate)
Taking us back to early DeFocus, Delsin and Neo Ouija days where lightly sprinkled electronics birthed IDM’s trajectory into melodic and blissful moments, Chaircrusher captures familiar terrain with luminous sonic bubbles.
Roel Funcken :: S1.MK2 (Self Released)
By pushing and pulling on a vast tapestry of textured noises and glittery soundscapes, the exploratory nature of this album is offset by its attention to nuanced, imprecise and sparkling electronic flutter.
Terror Peaks :: Terror Peaks EP (MOTR)
Each piece contains enough content and creative fuel to keep our attention zoned in while shards of electro, breaks, and technoid forms are exposed with jazzier outer layers.
Fxbip :: Choke / Ame Polaire (Concrete Collage)
Fxbip shatters preconceived notions of nonsensical experimentation and instead focuses on unique (even if a bit turbulent) concrete sound collages that bend, flex, and splinter with a punctuated sheen.
Virtually J :: Autocracy Mage (Mahorka)
These are fine-tuned, danceable and energetic tracks for the dance floor, floor-standing speakers or headphone commutes in the dead of night.
LL321 :: Ballistics EP (Roulette Rekordz)
There are beautiful lines of haunting otherworldly melodies woven throughout some of the rhythmic fortresses, making this a very re-listenable release with a variety of moods and vibes.
