It’s industrial rot turned ritual, where mechanical howls and corrosive tones blur into something akin to musique concrète or audio collage—less composed than unearthed.

Grant Deane :: A Coruscating Hope (◢sidehatch)
A Coruscating Hope bends its structures into semi-familiar dance contours, then dissolves them. It’s here that a subtle storm of grayscale noise and electrical charge animates an intricate, shifting sound world—where experimental electronics meet a shadowy, tactile form of techno.
kaoshipnótico :: Ascensores, aeropuertos, escaleras, ahorcamientos, castraciones (earsheltering)
Rather than relying on brute force, kaoshipnótico crafts dynamic tension across the album’s jagged structure. Found sounds, metallic screeches, circuit-bent textures, and industrial rumble all collide in waves of distortion that suggest both panic and ritual.
Wevie Stonder :: Sure Beats Living (Skam)
From carpet tiles to call center lines to Bulgarian bee barters—an uncanny symphony of sounds, woven seamlessly into one surreal tapestry.
Snowbeasts & Solypsis :: Extinction Burst (Component)
Despite a 2,500-mile distance and sprawling solo discographies, Snowbeasts and Solypsis operate here as if face-to-face—crushing boundaries, igniting audio wreckage, and forging bold new altars of sound.
Hexalyne :: Isoconicase (Noided Media)
If Richard Devine and Autechre trace similar constellations in the sonic firmament, Hexalyne orbits his own peculiar void—an architect of abrasive beauty, leading a procession of rhythmic contortion through the digital underworld.
Michael Valentine West :: Liquid architecture (Evel)
These works feel like sonic residue from a scorched reality—assembled gradually, layer upon layer, into contemplative yet fractured shapes. MVW crafts immersive, multidimensional pieces where evolving sound design breathes slowly, alternately swelling and dissipating, constructing only to deconstruct.
8cylinder :: Snapped Bones EP (Unmapped North) — [concise]
Brief by design, Snapped Bones doesn’t linger—it strikes, drills, and exits, leaving behind scorched circuits and a lasting imprint of mechanized destruction.
Keef Baker :: GFX (Self Released)
Keef Baker returns with GFX steeped in the spirit of classic IDM, a nod to both vintage audio aesthetics and the gritty charm of early graphics eras.
Cathode Ray Tube :: Canciones en la clave de Pelea (Condition Human) — [concise]
Something jagged and instinctive pulses through Cathode Ray Tube’s latest four-track transmission—just over thirty minutes of fractured rhythms and kinetic sputter.
vOLKER rAPP :: Phase IV (Cyclical Dreams) — [concise]
Phase IV is a concept-driven album that aligns sound with themes like memory, dislocation, perception, and digital identity. It transcends conventional structures and emphasizes sound textures, with minimalism reflecting sensory exploration.
