Ultimately, Old Growth is a powerful and focused collection that doesn’t break new ground and instead reinforces that you don’t really have to.

3View :: BLAEN (Welsh Modular Alliance)
It’s no surprise that BLAEN (aka John Healy) encapsulates the farthest depths of electrical collisions; he’s been at it for over two decades, honing his skills behind machines and dangling cables.
Colin Dyer :: 47ram Negativ65 EP (Schematic Music Co.)
47ram Negativ65 is an ultra condensed collection of scattered melodic mayhem, acid shifts, and sandblasted technoid assemblages.
Inkipak :: Slip (Touched Music)
The same core feeling is still there, but even in this short time, it’s apparent that skills have been built on, ideas have been nurtured, and flourishes added to round off what was already very enjoyable.
Enabl.ed :: OddlyMerged (Mozyk)
A pleasant release of relatively-downtempo noninvasive pieces that flow nicely and won’t introduce any stress into your day.
Lackluster :: Alley (Hymen)
Though the gear and technique have changed over the years, Alley still encapsulates the signature Lackluster sound. Fans of Esa’s work will feel right at home hearing this record.
Dragon & Jettenbach :: Interesting Times (Point Source Electronic Arts)
These otherworldly soundtracks bend and morph, creating explosive glitch fragments that intertwine and reform themselves, all the while, drenched in dronescapes and densely layered mechanical blips.
exm :: TreeThree (Self Released)
exm finds comfort in lengthy, amorphous soundscapes from many miles above our atmosphere.
ANORAK :: Antisocial (Concrete Collage)
An album of sped up rhythmic shadows that captivates the listener with its ravaged sonic scope and barely gives us time to take a breather.
Adrien d’Elzius :: Straight from the Void (Pt.1) EP (Self Released)
Crisp and crunchy acid swirls inhabit Straight from the Void (Pt. 1), the first EP of three as Adrien d’Elzius breaks through rugged electronic sound space.
David Harrow :: Jitter (Mighty Force)
Harrow manages to melt acid house into dub that then melts into ambient IDM.
