Room Of Wires continuing to unleash complex electronic structures exhibiting form and dysfunction via darker experimental electronic strains.
V/A :: Cabotronium (EVES Music)

second seasons :: Parse, Care (Schematic)
A fascinating study of what happens when you apply Autechre levels of technology to making more directly accessible but still experimental beats.
