The last twelve months has dissolved into a kaleidoscope of similar news stories, mutating variants and a continued sense of unease. Thankfully there is always music to sooth the fevered brow; music and tradition.

Tim Koch :: Volplaning (Central Processing Unit)
Following on from 2018’s Spinflex, this latest outing is most enjoyable. While in places it feels like raw studio shenanigans and output, that output has been carefully polished that oozes strength and control along the way.
Daniel Avery :: Ultra Truth (Mute / Phantasy Sound)
Ultra Truth is a must have album not only for expressing Daniel Avery’s roots and shouting revival music to old heads, but for providing history to young electronic music fans in a contemporary couverture.
Long Range Desert Group :: Pro-oxidant (Mighty Force)
Pro-oxidant reveals itself to be a stunningly cinematic piece using a full spectrum of sounds from both the electronic and acoustic worlds.
Dana Kuehr :: Basic Moves 18 / WTRTMPL (Basic Moves)
Every track is its own unique flavor and audio trip, yet the cohesion of the album’s story sticks to the ears like sonic glue.
Strategy :: Unexplained Sky Burners (Peak Oil)
“I believe we are enriched in life by interaction with mysteries, even if whimsically or as a thought experiment. Zeroing in on the ‘unexplained sky burner’ allowed me to step into the zone of the unknown in a playful, and mentally necessary way I think.” ~ Paul Dickow (aka Strategy)
Robodroid :: From The Future EP (LDI)
While the futuristic sci-fi tropes are not uncommon in the electro genre as a whole, they are rarely so tastefully integrated into meaningful abstract sound motion without feeling forced or pasted on.
The Jaffa Kid :: Passing Signals (Suction)
On Passing Signals, the Newcastle based musician’s ability to craft rich and textured works using contrasting and sparse sounds is plain to hear. A top record from an artist who is rightly being noticed and will only continue to be so.
Rico Casazza :: Escandon EP (Perimeter Junk)
These five selections shake and shimmy through downtempo layers with a pseudo-lounge cadence.
Ikonika :: “When You Look At Me” single (Hyperdub)
Whilst summer may very well be over, the party does not seem to be stopping as Ikonika is looking to keep us cozy together on the dancefloor on this forthcoming body movement delight.
Gradient :: Moments of the Sunrise (Rednetic)
A very clean sounding album, the sort of cleanliness you associate with early 2000s IDM. Clear, precise and deadly accurate—a very good master indeed and a classy techno album aimed at the dancefloor.
