V/A :: IDMf Retrospective Vol. 5 (Glitchpulse)
This closing retrospective explores a dozen sculpted electronic textures and tones, where rhythmic audio structures collide and collapse, crumple and fold, as the Australian label shifts into the forward-thinking Glitchpulse Records outfit.
V/A :: Sampler IV (Facade Electronics)
Northern Mexico’s Facade Electronics’ annual compilation titled Sampler IV (aka Sampler IV. Present and future. Facade Electronics 2020-2025) shifts into their fourth of the series, representing fourteen tracks that spark and shimmer at all the right angles.
Wankers United :: Zootech (Evel)
Diving head-first into Wankers United’s (also known as Thomas Lanza) most recent album, Zootech, for Evel, and we’re hypnotized by its melodic disintegration and glitch-laden groove.
Jacek Doroszenko :: Identity Values (Audiobulb)
Where atmospheric waves coalesce, drifting sonic ice-sheets scrape up against each other as Identity Values subtly gains momentum while aligning with Audiobulb’s extensive Rolodex of abstract sound sculptors.
V/A :: Errormatic Vol.4 [The Collective] (Clean Error)
This assemblage being the fourth of the series, cascades without form, veering between the boundaries of experimental sonic media and next-level hyper glitch mechanisms, and is curated within introspective, low-flying IDM/braindance morsels.
Otero Vargas :: Last Drives (Facade Electronics)
Overall, Last Drives is an intriguing, ominous voyage through sounds and moods. Each piece maintains momentum and is unquestionably worth the time to absorb, and perhaps return to time and time again.
Jvox :: Beat Universe (Component)
Beat Universe feels like Man Is A Machine’s long-lost eccentric cousin dropping in to say, “hey, I’m still here,” and re-establishes a vision of electrified hip-hop as only Jvox navigates so well after all these years.
Zachary Gray :: Trippin’ / In Arrears (A Person Disguised as People)
Zachary Gray is back with Trippin’ / In Arrears, in A Person Disguised as People’s A/B Series, a 2-track appetizer for the Trippin’ LP, forthcoming in Spring 2025.
Stone Leaf :: SEISMOS (Detroit Underground)
Embedded with captivating atmospheres, Stone Leaf cogently creates subdued experimental electronic flutter that we’ll continue to revisit again and again.
HERZEL :: See² (Evel)
See² is a brimming collection of diamond-cut electronic gems that simply sparkle from every angle and comes highly recommended.
