2024 is well underway. Nevertheless, We Forfeit returns to one of their many, many traditions; their favorite records of 2023!
Tag: Techno
korrē :: Oizys (Perimeter Junk)
Characterized as “10 tracks of technoblues,” Oizys, the album, follows very much in the vein of the previous Shrapnel, a lowlight minimal variant redolent of some early ’00s Berlin-inflected dub-tech/tech-dub releases.
Susumu Yokota :: Acid Mt. Fuji (Remastered 30th Anniversary Edition) (Sublime)
This 1994 album transcended expectations and opinions when it was first released, thirty years on it is still doing so. A fitting homage being paid to an artist who was utterly unique in his approach, a beautiful reissue of a milestone of electronic music.
Displacer :: The Witching Hour SE (The Crime League)
Displacer revisits this iconic record and brings some friends along to partake, creating a flowing and textural audio assault that represents the entire dark electronic music landscape, likely for another decade.
Eric Schlappi :: Larval Beak EP (Concrete Collage)
The sheer magnitude of Larval Beak’s roughened overflows spills over five succinct tracks, yet manages to convey a powerful sonic panoramic within a brisk 20 minutes.
ctrl+opt :: Máximo Volumen 1 EP (Self Released)
Máximo Volumen 1 elevates late night grooves for splintered wooden floorboards of abandoned warehouses—its detuned techno and rave pulse pointed directly at your feet.
Hainbach x Nebula Instruments :: Circle of Violence EP (Self Released)
The sacrament of music is universal, presented here with no words, no specific belief system, no dogma, just a moment in time with two guys who were hanging out together in an otherwise empty church making the whole place resonate and respond with otherworldly vibrations.
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.
DJ HeadSick :: New Life (Mestnost)
DJ HeadSick dives headfirst into sublime melodic rhythms and shifting breaks, capturing all of those sweet auditory nuances in an aptly named collection.
David Morley :: Fashion (De:tuned)
Organ groans call forth earthen percussion, dripping clanks and clods of drum soon shed of their organic trappings as industrial tones begin to dominate.
Ken Ishii :: Reference To Difference (Remastered 30th Anniversary Edition) (Sublime)
Reference to Difference was made when Ken Ishii’s musical ability was beginning to take root and bloom, a time when music was shifting into something new and unheard. A release of the annals of electronic music history, lovingly, and thankfully, revived.
