Stitxhes :: Lost In Translation EP (Detroit Underground)
Just as quickly as we’re able to visualize Stitxhes’ brooding panoramas, they vanish into thin air with only a few aftershocks to be felt afterwards. Powerful and engaged.
Meemo Comma :: Loverboy (Planet Mu)
Loverboy, sees the artist pivot from the experimental back-catalog and dive-deep into a fully-fledged euphoria of bass’n breaks. Perhaps to describe in one word: Energy.
4T Thieves :: Nomad’s Requiem (Werra Foxma)
Werra Foxma takes the opportunity to release these audible gems submerged in nostalgic flutter. Opening downtempo strands and melodic loops cascade…
Aphex Twin :: …I Care Because You Do (Warp) —28 years later
The 90s were unrepeatable and …I Care Because You Do proves it. Composed between 1990 and 1994, it is a paradigm of the advanced adolescent.
Valance Drakes :: A Weak Shield Protects Not EP (Urban Virus)
Nine minutes and an infinity we can’t even fathom, Valance Drakes delivers transparent soundwaves just barely reaching the lower atmosphere. Massaging ghostlike glitch for us mere mortals.
Mantle of Gets :: Lisbon D300422D5409 (Uchelfa)
This recording, with all its dust, debris, and dense sound sculptures, dives straight through the magnetosphere and doesn’t hold back.
Shubharun Sengupta :: Iggle (Self Released)
Even if these tracks are filled with audible data bursting at the seams, a bricolage of sound-scraping noises all tend to merge together on Iggle, angular electronics indeed.
WE FORFEIT :: Interview w/ Solvent — 25 Years of Suction Records
From High School encounters and fax machine correspondences to Detroit recognition, Solvent maps how two Canadians broke onto the scene in the early 1990s.
Lovetrip :: Little Silver Box (Móatún 7)
Oli Love’s signature sound is the essential ingredient on the Móatún 7 roster. The album in its entirety is indescribably stunning and is the epitome of top-tier ambient electronica.
Myoptik :: Eat At The Dining Table of the Vibrating Sting (Pingdiscs)
There’s something magnetic, somehow fully charged, and buzzing here. Eight tracks of densely layered electronics and crunchy noises wrapping rhythmic distortion courtesy of the ever-talented Myoptik (aka Richard Wilkes).
