pq :: AE–O9 (Adepta Editions)
Baffling beatwork and blissed-out electrical mayhem make for an odd (yet essential) auditory couplet.
Adrien d’Elzius :: Silent Revolution EP (Abstrakt Reflections)
Silent Revolution is a perplexing aural buffet of abstract electro-nics and side splitting bass skills, consisting of four tracks and two remixes.
Michael Valentine West :: She Dreams of Lynchings EP (UVG212)
MVW displays some of his most experimental sound sculptures to date in a space that continually changes shape.
Iris Ipsum :: Pattern Language (Touched Music)
With a first audition, what jumps out most is the meticulous attention that appears to be given to drum patterns across the board. Individual measures frequently singled out and attentively modulated to inject a great deal of interest into the proceedings.
dgoHn & Badun :: Talk To The Planets EP (Love Love)
From the drum funk’n bass of dgoHn to Badun’s meandering abstract jazz infiltration, Talk To The Planets is a seriously splendid collection that doesn’t slow down.
Kindohm :: Prompt 3 (3OP)
A powerful and perplexing giant that showcases sandblasted electronics combined with intricate sculptures, with very little breathing room and just a sliver of melodic strands.

With ambient synth swells, hardened glitch-mechanics, crunchy and ethereal soundscapes’n scrapes, Island Flux Remixes continues to be a magnetically charged giant drifting on IDM waters.
illocanblo :: Liminal Rhythms (EC Underground)
The initial EP showcases the Russians’ skill at odd blips, bleeps, and low end manipulation as well as acid breaks and pulsing electro hijinks in full gear. A stand-alone and exceptional EP, the remix compilation that follows is equally perplexing.
