Dancing Alone is a solid production where no expenses are spared. If you are a fan of Elska’s vocal textures or enjoy translucent gothic-ambient moods and melodies, this album will most appeal to you.

V/A :: 25 Years of DiN (DiN)
With versality, skills, and a delectable sense of transcendental escapism, every musical contribution brings tone textures, patterns, timbral experimentations, harmonic progressions, and processed sound motifs to ravish your ears.
David Curington :: Composer REACTS / After These Messages (Difficult Art And Music)
We find it all confusing and compelling at the same time. A serious snapshot through our day-to-day lives and the mundane commercial messaging that unfortunately is part-and-parcel of corporate powerhouse greed taking over our devices.
Rhombus Index + f5point6 :: Mutual Expression (See Blue Audio)
There really isn’t a slow or uninteresting moment on the LP, because there’s always a surprise hidden somewhere. Said surprises don’t come in the form of meticulous details, rather just with how good f5point6 and Rhombus Index are at subverting expectations.
Guy Wachtel :: Nulla Anima EP (Glitchpulse)
With a pulsating four-track manifest titled Nulla Anima, the multitalented audio craftsman disperses hundreds of beats, blips, and bleeps deep into left field.
Hitori Tori :: Signals From The Uncharted Expanse EP (Satellite Era)
The high-octane drill’n bass maestro keeps pushing the envelope, incorporating sandblasted acid-electronics and off-center rhythms in this heavyweight five pack manifest.
Rontronik :: Zero Eight (Tygr Rawwk Rcrds)
Zero Eight pulls off a rather satisfying mix of noise, ambient, and experimental electronica. The way the record is constantly shifting into new ideas makes it really engaging from front to back, but so does its claustrophobic atmosphere.
Sommerfeld :: Expansion EP (Ryu)
It is easy to get entrained on these beats, and they have just the right level of aggression to appease fans of noise and post-industrial music as they would those who are just in it for the pure power of the pulse that hits like a lightweight spinning a punching bag.
