Belong’s return with Realistix IX is quite a success. They improve significantly on where they had left off and also make use of their noisy aesthetics, combining the two into a satisfying sonic collection.

Fennesz :: Venice 20 – 20th Anniversary Edition (Touch)
Venice is an album that continues to work extremely well, even after 20 years. The combination of lighter-sounding loops with sounds that are more distorted results in a complexity of tone and texture as this remastered version emphasizes.
Zságer Balázs :: Aqua Obscura (Free Sequence)
Built over long soundscapes, noisy field recordings and hypnotizing harmonic clusters, Aqua Obscura completely takes over our attention, swimming on a magical journey that directly touches our inner consciousness.
V/A :: Quality Time Volume 4 (Bonding Tapes)
Quality Time Volume 4 slices a deep cross-section through the label’s unique sonic vision; to encapsulate a myriad of abstract electronic music structures and blend them seamlessly in this fourth volume. It might also be fitting to find more quality time and head back to Bonding Tapes’ earlier volumes again.
David Curington :: Composer REACTS / After These Messages (Difficult Art And Music)
We find it all confusing and compelling at the same time. A serious snapshot through our day-to-day lives and the mundane commercial messaging that unfortunately is part-and-parcel of corporate powerhouse greed taking over our devices.
Guy Wachtel :: Nulla Anima EP (Glitchpulse)
With a pulsating four-track manifest titled Nulla Anima, the multitalented audio craftsman disperses hundreds of beats, blips, and bleeps deep into left field.
Hajime Kojiro :: Shinra Banshou (Mestnost)
Dark undertones and intricate percussion riffs dominate this album that starts off ominous in the first half and in the second part shines with rays of light and majesty poking through the heavy clouds.
Rontronik :: Zero Eight (Tygr Rawwk Rcrds)
Zero Eight pulls off a rather satisfying mix of noise, ambient, and experimental electronica. The way the record is constantly shifting into new ideas makes it really engaging from front to back, but so does its claustrophobic atmosphere.
Sommerfeld :: Expansion EP (Ryu)
It is easy to get entrained on these beats, and they have just the right level of aggression to appease fans of noise and post-industrial music as they would those who are just in it for the pure power of the pulse that hits like a lightweight spinning a punching bag.
Adrien d’Elzius :: Straight from the Void (Pt.3) EP (Self Released)
Another excellent extended player filled with transportive electronics, hopefully continuing in the sequence.
Neosintetico :: Altered Electrical Transmission EP (Self Released)
Altered Electrical Transmission is an organic yet esoteric collection that unravels with an industrial and glitch/breaks pulse.
