Experimental Electronic Music
More than a sampler, Pulse State: SAMPLER 1 is a living transmission—an immersive, precision-curated surge of IDM and off-axis electronics where past and future signals collide, experimental sound mutates in real time, and meticulously engineered worlds unfold in motion.
Faex Optim channels his gift for luminous, emotive electronics into a radiant new chapter with Touched Music, crafting an ambient journey whose every shimmer, drift, and pulse feels like a quiet beacon of hope.
As a global electronic music family, we come together in hopes that our words will do justice to honor the beautiful soul that was Árni Grétar Jóhannesson (Futuregrapher). Written by Anne Jackson with support by Mick Chillage.
Both Martin Boulton (aka Min-Y-Llan, Touched Music founder) and Jeroen Bax (aka exm) build incredibly surreal audio worlds. As their earlier releases were characterized as a “real demonstration of powerful synergy,” this eponymous release draws a recognizable pulse.
There is wonderful fusion is styles and influences under the Heogen moniker, fusing the complex and surreal composition style of exm (aka Jeroen Bax) with the melodic and rhythmical style.
For the slew of strong releases that come our way from Touched left, right, and center, it’s easy to forget that the label has its roots in the compilation and that it’s something they’re incredibly good at.
The first thing that struck me was the mocked up graphics for the artwork and presentation were just beautiful. Very in keeping with the Dyadik label and colors reflecting how filled with heart and soul Heogen compositions are…
Auditory Assistance doesn’t rely on any one genre arch, instead, it packs a visceral punch from dark mechanical constructs to lighter IDM bits’n bytes, allowing the imprint to nurture a wide ranging “sound” without pigeonholing itself.
The overall mood encompasses happiness, freedom, love, loss, friendliness, compassion and collaboration.
Adykt is representative of the continuous growth of experimental electronic music and where it can take us, the listener. And for all those beautifully disjointed sonic shapes and forms that engulf us, Dyadik remains on the right track.
