8bitch: Equinox EP (Seed Records) These four tracks from producer 8Bitch nicely walk the line between a bunch of electronic music genres. The skittery stereo drumming of opener...

Sistol: On The Bright Side (Halo Cyan) The first time Sasu Ripatti made an appearance under the Sistol alias, it was in the late 90s during the advent of Mille Plateaux’s...

Siriusmo: The Plasterer Of Love (Monkeytown) Siriusmo continues on his trajectory out of the dark center of electrohouse into something far more elusive, brighter and more exciting with...

A Made Up Sound: Rear Window EP (Delsin) Dave Huismans is probably better known under his dubstep moniker 2562, but with A Made Up Sound he allows himself to indulge the more...

Strip Steve: Delta Disco EP (Boys Noize) Théo Pozoga is the brain behind chuggy electro-house project Strip Steve. It’s no surprise that his records are coming out on Boysnoize, the...

Lukid: Chord (Werk) When Luke Blair’s debut Onandon fell into my hands a few years ago, I was pleasantly surprised. I had trailed off in my listening of much instrumental downtempo...

Infinite Body: Carve Out the Face Of My God (Post Present Medium) It starts with a murmur and then we’re off…. the opening track of Infinite Body’s latest is like...

Numan: Race Against Time (Planet µ) Planet µ continues to flirt with trends and electronic subgenres with this new one from Numan, which seems to combine elements of IDM, electro, dubstep...

Become a fan on Facebook! As I continue progress toward the release of my new solo album Pianissimo Possibile, you’ll be able to receive updates, links to new music, downloads and...

James Blake: Klavierwerke (R&S) Klavierwerke is perhaps the most sensitive of James Blake’s 2010 EPs that I’ve heard. It continues his explorations of bent, manipulated...

Francesco Tristano: Idiosynkrasia (inFiné) Kompakt owner and techno guru Wolfgang Voigt released an album of piano-centered electronic tracks earlier this year, sounding slightly akin to...

Farben: Farben (Faitiche) Seemingly from out of nowhere, German minimal producer Jan Jelinek revives his Farben project for this under-the-radar 12" of new tracks. It’s less a...
