Experimental Electronic Music
Highlighting hundreds of releases in 2024 (and allowing December to set in), we’ve compiled a list of our favorites along with links to their corresponding Igloo reviews and release pages. Since the lists are arranged alphabetically by artist—and a snapshot of tracks are featured in our Soundcloud playlist along with selected Bandcamp tracks and random artwork selections—there are, as usual, no winners or runners-up.
Orghanon (real name Sergio Calzoni; also known by the aliases Act Noir, Colloquio, and ILUITEQ) drifts to the outermost margins, fine-tuning soundscape layers into exploratory listening environments, while downtempo and glitch extrusions build suspensefully.
Katà Métron skillfully develops and reinforces the suggested objective of “living in harmony with oneself and nature,” a powerfully serene soundtrack we should all take notice of, and a surrounding sonic highlight for 2024.
The feeling is that these productions live on their own life, but that they travel in parallel with the original tracks.
