There’s red line, thin, but distinct, between different kinds of sounding—between soundalike and sound like, resemblance and redolence, imitation and influence; thus, though sometimes end products may sound similar, in essence they differ crucially.

Ard Bit :: Field Recordings – 05 Bohemia (Self Released)
The complete pieces are reconstructed settings from a human perspective. In them, you can hear subtle changes, and arguably some development. The album is mainly atmospheric, communicating a wide and subtle range of gloomy impressions and moods.
dämtone :: Remixes EP (Clean Error)
Remixes EP is an absorbing adventure through next-level electronic experimentation, taking careful note of the past and forging ahead with powerful new-school techniques.
2view :: Tapes and Topographies :: Plumage (Lontano Series) & Rudiments (Simulacra)
A collection of cameos rendered in feathery tones and dusty pitches by Todd Gautreau aka Tapes and Topographies, Plumage’s sonorities, languorously looping and limned in treated effluvia, point to timbral and spatial elements as its primary zone of sonic inquiry.
Keiss :: Oblique Minimalista (Pulse State)
Eleven structural layers on Oblique Minimalista bend, twist, drift, and collapse as glitch mechanisms weave through punchy, minimalist grooves.
Frank Riggio :: Qu4drilogy (Versions / Outtakes) (Hymen)
“Qu4drilogy is a concept work for four albums by Frank Riggio iggio. The concept is fully finished with the additional album Versions / Outtakes—released exactly one year after the first part was published.”
Tsodor :: Diffused Nocturne (Woodland Creatures)
Diffused Nocturne ultimately reveals a powerful array of soundtracks exploring the infinitesimal trajectory of electronic music, dipping from low-flying bass thuds to darker technoid shapes.
lifeisfeedback :: sado-mechanism EP (GOTO)
Similar to Richard Devine’s industrial synth-mechanics mixed with the rhythmic crunch-hop of Gescom, lifeisfeedback (aka Benjamin Chilton / Elevator Sound) sets a memorable tone as he opens an account with GOTO.
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.
b0t23 + inoperative system :: Sin Ciclo EP (Patterned Media)
Sin Ciclo skillfully combines downtempo elements with breakbeats; sprinkling nostalgic electro fragments and melodic threads with pummeling effects.
Pera Sta Ori :: Hix Hax EP (To Pikap)
Pera Sta Ori returns to his roots with rave, breaks, and jungle soundscapes on the four-track EP, Hix Hax, for To Pikap.
