Jon Murphy :: Modular Overture AEX-04 (Adepta Editions)
Modular Overture signifies the culmination of a four-part release series by Adepta Editions. As it brings one chapter to a close, it effortlessly ushers in another, highlighting the boundless possibilities of experimental electronic music and its diverse, intricate dimensions.
exm :: Solar (Touched Music) — [concise]
Solar blends characteristic brittle electronic textures with smooth, precisely crafted structures and tightly wound glitch elements.
WE FORFEIT :: Radio Relativa #47
A few weeks back, we were lucky enough to share the booth with the always excellent Neud Photo. Robbie hopped on the train and made it by the skin of his teeth to Luv Bar where the pair served some a cocktail of electro, new beat and even some Italo.
Solar X :: Masters Of Meanders (Ant-Zen)
Masters Of Meanders threads together the past with forward-thinking precision that’s as timeless as it is innovative.
Özcan Saraç :: Neural Generators of the Auditory Brainstem Response (Evel)
Less than a year after TON, a two-hour-and-a-half glitch mammoth that made it into Igloo’s Best of 2024 round-up, Özcan Saraç is back on Evel with Neural Generators of the Auditory Brainstem Response—and if TON already seemed daunting for its lengths and experimentation, Saraç’s seventh album ups the ante, clocking over 330 minutes divided into twenty-five movements.
Fantastic Twins :: Suite of Rooms (House of Slessor)
All in all, this is an album that doesn’t fail to entertain those looking for interesting, leftfield electronica. The aesthetic of this LP very much matches its concept, and if you want to feel like you’re part of the labyrinth yourself, might as well try and do the one on the cover, only to realize after a little bit that it’s completely closed off and you’d feel as lost as you should.
AeTopus :: iota (Spotted Peccary Music)
iota was created to be received on several levels, both conceptually and sonically. Various instruments and features of the mix represent spatial locations in an imaginary landscape: ground, horizon, and sky, for example. Experienced in a good listening environment, the listener will imagine distance, elevation, and perhaps even time.
Salad Process & pä :: Seconde Peau Plastique_Désaccord (Evel)
At times, the sound feels almost mechanical—like a dishwasher trying to interpret a broken InSinkErator’s message—as grinding microscopic clicks and bleeps collide within their own labyrinth before retreating into four states of shattered stillness.
Bearclaw :: Breach I EP (Clean Error)
With a unique ability to fractalize microscopic melodic elements into intricate soundscapes and minimal synth structures, Breach I reimagines the (hyper) glitch genre with bold and subtle clarity.
