DeadSeanKennedy :: Fuck The Legal Stations (◢sidehatch)
Fuck The Legal Stations is both time capsule and time machine—a heavy, heady transmission from the past that looks defiantly forward, remixing the rubble of yesterday’s underground into tomorrow’s auditory blueprint.
Caspian :: Insomnia EP (Onset Audio) — [concise]
Caspian’s Insomnia EP, a four-track plunge into the subterranean pulse of breaks and warped rhythms, is a masterclass in sonic intensity.
AFM :: Sleek Vibra (Adepta Editions / Altari Series)
Sleek Vibra is a sensory onslaught—audio shrapnel whirling from all directions—casting the label’s darkest silhouette yet. This is power electronics refracted through the cracked lens of retrofuturism, where the future is haunted by echoes of an analog past.
BASTARD :: BASTARD.NFO EP (Renraku) — [concise]
Relentless, inventive, and impossible to ignore—this is electronic music at its most unrestrained. No pause, no breath—only forward motion and beautifully wrecked.
Music Mondays 013 :: Keeping busy during interesting times
With a brief look at some notables along the road, Chang Terhune’s Music Mondays aims to shed light on both new and old(er) music over a wide spectrum of sound (and vision). This week The Psychedelic Furs, Omni Trio, Toasty, and Isaac Hayes on the Maine turnpike.
Stefan Vincent :: Post Melancholy (Musar)
These eight tracks, ranging from the mid-90s IDM boom to today’s high-level production qualities, use lost time capsules and sophisticated synth-techno fissures to create detailed sonic shadows and throbbing breaks, bass, and broken beats.
Farron :: Feal (Shaw Cuts)
If you’re in the mood for good modern IDM, Feal has got plenty. More specifically, if you want to put on a record and be sure it offers something valuable from start to finish, Feal has also got plenty of that. If you want a good amount of variety, Feal is where you should be headed.
Scarper :: Noctis EP (Plexus)
Scarper takes a high-octane approach to his already accelerated exp-electronics trajectory.
ctrl+opt :: Máximo Volumen 1 EP (Self Released)
Máximo Volumen 1 elevates late night grooves for splintered wooden floorboards of abandoned warehouses—its detuned techno and rave pulse pointed directly at your feet.
Illuvia :: Earth Prism (A Strangely Isolated Place)
The energy of his breakbeat manipulations is tamed by soft billowing clouds of enveloping sound, giving us an ideal listening for anyone who misses the glory days of ‘intelligent’ drum and bass, and eventually wants to feel it in our bedroom still.
