Words about electronic & experimental music

SINCE 2010

Ani: “Rut” (Gutz, Cititrax 2015)A nice biting floor stormer courtesy of Ani on the Cititrax label. This one made my favorite EPs/singles of the year at the time, and it still sounds hot as...

The Soft Moon : “Wrong” (Deeper, 2015 Captured Tracks)The spirit of EBM lives on in new forms in this techy, biting workout from Oakland producer Luis Vasquez.(Source: https://www.youtube.com/)

Crash Course In Science: “Flying Turns” (Signals From Pier Thirteen, Press Records 1981)This Philly trio faded into obscurity for quite a while, but they’ve undergone a renaissance in the digital...

Rhys Fulber: Realism (Sonic Groove)Rhys Fulber’s name might not be a household one, but he’s had a heavy hand in the evolution of the EBM/electro-industrial music sound since its...

X-Marks the Pedwalk: “Meshwork M.1″ (Meshwork, Zoth Ommog 1995)X Marks the Pedwalk’s Meshwork is an album I curiously find myself returning to fairly often. Their earliest stuff was very much in the...

Killawatt: Contort (Osiris)These tracks show off a different side of Killawatt’s progressively more diverse skill set. Instead of mining the usual more menacing staggered bass music of his...

X Marks The Pedwalk: “Don’t Fall Asleep” (Human Desolation, Zoth Ommog 1992)(Source: https://www.youtube.com/)

BOAN: Mentiras (Holodeck)This EP from Texas-based BOAN is an interesting hybrid of dance music, synth pop, and something slightly stranger. The bright claps and sparkling synths that start...

Witch: Vent (PT/5) Witch’s debut 12” for Brit label PT/5 is an absolutely toxic scorcher. “Vent” is mean and biting, with a double-time noise snare/hi-hat that lends an extra layer of...

Assemblage 23: “The Cruelest Year” (Compass, Metropolis 2010) Tom Shear’s album Compass ends with this ballad, one of my personal favorites.
