Combining field recordings, distorted electrical pulses, punctuated non-linear rhythms, and found sounds to create an oddly surreal mixture.

Life As Sleep :: Don’t Do Anything (Schematic)
Featuring raw/minimal electro and a smattering of old-school breaks, bass, dub, and technoid patterns…
Tatamax :: Fairy Glen Appearances (20 Year Digital Edition) (Skam)
Twenty years later, Fairy Glen Appearances, which was first made available on skassette02 in 2003, is now available digitally through Skam.
Precenphix :: Husks of War (Not Yet Remembered)
Constructed as a vessel that allows curiously enticing post-ambient/noise and crumpled industrial landscapes to expand and contract, Precenphix tugs at the listeners heartstrings with this otherworldly album.
NULLPTR :: Recursor (Central Processing Unit)
Eddie Symons’ Recursor EP was released in October 2023, and his NULLPTR moniker maintains its rhythmic electro momentum.
J-LOWER :: 90 Seconds To Midnight (EC Underground)
A track-by-track synopsis of J-LOWER’s 90 Seconds To Midnight — “…like temporal echoes, creating a dynamic contrast with steady rhythms.”
iNFO :: Mitochondrion EP (Computer Controlled)
Another outstanding example of a go-to EP from a skilled electro artisan with a release-worthy imprint. Strongly recommended.
Defrag :: Lost Worlds (Hymen)
Lost Worlds is a blisteringly vivid amalgamation of apocalyptic sounds and electronics that eventually implode, infused with corrosive and magnetic rhythms.
Oberman Knocks :: Rhemunvhurse Optikonn EP (Detroit Underground)
With Rhemunvhurse Optikonn, a half-dozen tracks chopped and diced with enough blips and bleeps beauty to last us to the end of the decade, Truswell dives even further into the abyss for Detroit Underground.
Carl Brown :: Time Slip (Mozyk)
A 12-track behemoth that sputters and shimmies its way through video-game electronics and broken breaks (with three remixes by Poborsk, Wagawaga, and The Ghost of 3.13).
vcam :: Concavity EP (High Grade Media)
Overall, a serene and captivating EP from a granular glitch’n IDM genre bender and highly recommended for fans of exm, Autechre, and Arovane.
