Experimental Electronic Music
This overall limited run of the acid genre is another success on the label for those who are in love with the genre. Furthur Electronix—and a warm welcome Shakesphere, their sub-label—has been carving out a niche for itself over the past few years, releasing music that feels both nostalgic and necessary. It’s a love letter to a sound that defined an era, and for fans of classic acid and braindance, it’s essential.
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.
These compact sci-fi-infused auditory slabs transport us back a number of years as they continuously shift and fade away, building up to an inevitable breakdown.
The four tracks on Soul Data Transfer’s eponymous debut EP for ECU are delicately woven, abstract ambient-glitch morsels that flow and transcend space and time.
