Language Field :: Reworks (Precariat Records)
An expansive field of musical pulsars ebb and flow seamlessly at the highest level as Language Field’s original audio works are only further amplified on Reworks, resulting in one of our favorites of 2024.
Orghanon :: Future in Motion (Mahorka)
Orghanon (real name Sergio Calzoni; also known by the aliases Act Noir, Colloquio, and ILUITEQ) drifts to the outermost margins, fine-tuning soundscape layers into exploratory listening environments, while downtempo and glitch extrusions build suspensefully.

CHXFX :: Rafter Castanets (Plastic Horse)

playgrounds: recess by Greystar features a variety of braindance, bass, shattered percussion, and punctuated breaks and is a massive 17-track collection that stretches into numerous sonic trajectories.

These multi-talented musicians easily fall into the scope of exp-electronics we embed ourselves within each and every day, while Mitoma’s distinctive remodeling gives these already potent recordings an additional level of reconstruction, or fragments.
Enabl.ed :: ErrorBalm Vol.1 (Clean Error)
Enabl.ed, however, pushes forward and creates a new chapter for IDM explorations with each piece having its unique sound fragment; punctuating sweet electrical “errors” that are sincerely esoteric and essential.
Nemerov :: Chromatic Aberration (Explorations)
In this tantalizing and aptly-titled release, several disintegrated sparks coalesce amid unique auditory aberrations.
