XICO :: I (Self Released)
Rarely does a project feel so eclectic yet so cohesive, a sprawling, hypnotic sound-world where repetition seems impossible, and every listen reveals a new path through its immersive maze.
Aelk Minsur :: Want For Naught EP (Self Released)
The entire work pulses with a hauntological current, drawing from distant memories yet telling a story utterly untold. With warped instrumental frameworks and surreal compositional craft, Aelk Minsur and Devvin Giorgio prove themselves as masterful architects of otherworldly sound.
Jvox :: Beat Universe (Component)
Beat Universe feels like Man Is A Machine’s long-lost eccentric cousin dropping in to say, “hey, I’m still here,” and re-establishes a vision of electrified hip-hop as only Jvox navigates so well after all these years.
Drummachinemike :: A Quiet Death (Self-Released)
A Quiet Death is a robust and dark rumbling glitch assembly despite primarily using synthetic and staccato drum segments. The tracks are highly palatable and shift into a variety of structures and genres, pushing the album into rugged terrain, making it highly recommended.
Panopticum :: Multisensory Metaphors EP (Polygon Network)
Panopticum’s aptly-titled Multisensory Metaphors is a densely-packed EP combining meditative downtempo electronics, glitch, electro, and IDM in beautiful deconstructive patterns.
