Pearson Sound: Untitled (Pearson Sound) One-off from post-dubstep-what-have-you producer David Kennedy, also known as Ramadanman. Pearson Sound has always struck me as more percussive and...

Words about electronic & experimental music
SINCE 2010
ASC: The Gradient Project (Auxiliary) Three tracks of four-to-the-floor goodness from prolific and diverse producer ASC on his own Auxiliary label. He’s been unstoppable lately...
C.L.A.W.S.: Cave In (Discaire) “Cave In” is a really handsome piece of late night techy house that continues to deliver as it evolves. I’m partial to the de-tuned synth...
John Tejada & Justin Maxwell: Our Gigantic Mistake (Palette) John Tejada once again teams up with Justin Maxwell on this 3-track EP on Tejada’s own Palette imprint. The title...
Conforce: Dystopian Elements EP (Delsin) This 4-tracker from Dutch producer Boris Bunnik is a healthy cross-section of his approach to dubby, atmospheric techno. “Luminous”...
Megafortress: Megafortress (Software) An EP consisting almost entirely of human voice and vocoder effects sounds like a dubious proposition — like Imogen Heap’s “O.C.”...
Kyoka: Ish (Raster-Noton) Nice, heavy-handed set of noisy techno-esque electronic tracks here from Japanese artist Kyoka, produced by Frank Bretschneider… the channel effects are...
Donor/Truss: Endo (Perc Trax) Perc’s label is pretty no-nonsense when it comes to dark, minimal techno. Even the artwork is stripped down, just handwritten artist/title/catalog...
The Caretaker: Extra Patience (After Sebald) (Bandcamp) Another gloomy, hazy set of dreamy ephemera from Leland Kirby (aka V/VM)…. much like his other recent releases under the...
Claro Intelecto: Second Blood (Delsin) This new EP from the talented producer Mark Stewart is worth it just for the A1, “Second Blood.” At first you might wonder if it’s...
Objekt: Cactus / Porcupine (Hessle Audio) Objekt’s combination of all things dubstep, house, techno and more has made him a bit of a hot commodity in the UK bass music scene. These...
Matt O'Brien: Bloom / Without Warning (Off Key Industries) Solid minimal techno from Matt O'Brien. “Bloom” is a sweet, slowly unfolding minimal track with a nice melodic touch....
Robag Wruhme: Donnerkuppel (Kompakt) Gabor Schablitzki’s last full-length as Robag Wruhme, released last year on DJ Koze’s Pampa imprint, was a deeply satisfying listen, moving...
Silent Servant: Hypnosis In The Modern Age (Sandwell District) Nice deep techno from the Sandwell District crew, released late last year before Regis and Function announced they’d be...
Ital Tek: Gonga (Planet µ) “Gonga” is such a berserker of a track that it makes me dizzy listening to it. Its constant up-pitching of drum sounds and pads and sequencing lines...
So much music, so little time. I more or less completely stopped buying vinyl because I just couldn’t keep up with it (financially or timewise!). But I’d certainly have a hard...
