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.

Myoptik :: Gofunga! (Mighty Force)
With a plethora of electronic distortion and semi-coherent sound structures carefully collapsing, Myoptik doesn’t hold back on Gofunga!
V/A :: Into The Luminous Future: Cottage Industries 12 (Neo Ouija)
The nostalgia is palpable. Braindance, glitch, electro, acid, funk, electronica, and vintage soundscapes reach into the luminous future.
Tarsiform :: Mechanically Reclaimed Pickings (Pingdiscs)
On these jagged aural experiments, scorched percussive rhythms, tangled vocal samples, and braindance components combine and burst leaving us to believe that Tarsiform is an unusual yet creative force to seriously pay attention to.
Myoptik :: Dreampeace EP (Móatún 7)
For the Móatún 7 imprint, he has unleashed a subtle and textured electronic blanket on Dreampeace, and there are plenty of charges in and of itself.
V/A :: VLS Offal (MightyPing)
A vast assortment of Mighty Force and Pingdiscs musicians line up with their sonic interpretations and what we get is a top-notch selection of acid-drenched braindance glory.
Myoptik :: Eat At The Dining Table of the Vibrating Sting (Pingdiscs)
There’s something magnetic, somehow fully charged, and buzzing here. Eight tracks of densely layered electronics and crunchy noises wrapping rhythmic distortion courtesy of the ever-talented Myoptik (aka Richard Wilkes).
Inkipak :: +ve (Fourier Transform)
As we drift downstream, the bliss only continues, and makes it harder to fathom how such a coherent and beautifully flowing album can come along and feel like an old friend from the first listen.
Myoptik :: Night Raidz (Pingdiscs / The Centrifuge)
Erratically dense electronic warfare from the mind of a sonic creative.
