VAAG :: Twenty Two (Point Source Electronic Arts)
These perplexing sound sculptures are painstakingly designed with expressive layers to suggest a sense of uniform chaos; often broken, battered, and blistered to no end. But on the outskirts, we hear (and see) VAAG seamlessly twisting extraterrestrial glitch fabrics on Twenty Two like an experienced tailor.
Inkipak :: Phokusd (Inkitrax)
Phokusd is a concentrated collection of smothered audio works detailing some of the finest experimental electronic music that doesn’t overstay its welcome and constantly exudes top-notch production values front to back.
WE FORFEIT :: Radio Relativa #45 — Mixtape, Featherstone
Through our shows, interviews and mixes, we’ve tried to present electronics with a difference, electronics that make a difference.

mmWave :: Temperamental Circuits EP (Self Released)
The EP hits hard with powerful rhythms and saturated melodic bursts, accompanied by roughened 808 sequences and atypical breaks and bass layers.
V/A :: VINT (Lapsus)
Twenty years in the making, Lapsus celebrate with this really neat compilation of slick IDM. Not always do various artists compilations have much reason behind them, but they’re always more appreciated than “best hits” or “singles” compilations; VINT, in particular, happens to also have thought behind it, as it’s not just a series of random tracks put together.
