Experimental Electronic Music
Life scatters its milestones unevenly—some slip into obscurity, while others remain etched in the mind, vivid despite their distance. These rare memories, intimate and haunting, reawaken with uncanny clarity when immersed in soundscapes like those crafted by Factsimile.
A lean, potent assembly of forward-driving electro-nics, Contact Protocol stands as a formidable blueprint of timeless audio architecture—each track a microcosm of future-forward engineering and past-memory echoes.
More than a mere meeting point of like-minded musicians—Full Spectrum 2 is an ecosystem of sound, vibrant with diversity, purpose, and heart.
A few weeks back, we were lucky enough to share the booth with the always excellent Neud Photo. Robbie hopped on the train and made it by the skin of his teeth to Luv Bar where the pair served some a cocktail of electro, new beat and even some Italo.
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.
The tracks on this release show such carefully constructed rhythms, with no hi-hat out of place, and each rhythm synergetically adding to the establishing layers of sound to create something much greater than the sum of its parts.
iNFO has crafted a unique identity that appeals to electronic music enthusiasts by drawing inspiration from the early Intelligent Dance Music (IDM) sound, the pulsating rhythms of Detroit techno, and the rhythmic energy of electro.
After covering several hundred releases in 2023, many notables—including links to their respective Igloo reviews or release pages—are cataloged here. As usual, there are no winners or runners-up as the lists are alphabetized by artist and selected tracks are featured on our Soundcloud playlist.
Another outstanding example of a go-to EP from a skilled electro artisan with a release-worthy imprint. Strongly recommended.
Michael Robinson (aka iNFO) has kept himself busy; this time he unveils a nine piece suite for Móatún 7 that continues in Sheffield bleep soundscapes and encompassing more of that 90s-era electronica polish.
