Experimental Electronic Music
With The Hexadecimal Era, Sleep Underwriter delivers an album that celebrates electronic music’s past with joy and aplomb while sounding completely alive to the present moment. Here, then, is another superb release from Dublin’s Aduaine, a label whose catalog continues to set an impressively high bar through both consistency and relentless quality.
These unearthed sound archives, which have the aura of dusty electronica and give us the impression that we have been living with these auditory Polaroids for a while, are arguably one of 2024’s least expected surprises.
The nostalgia is palpable. Braindance, glitch, electro, acid, funk, electronica, and vintage soundscapes reach into the luminous future.
