Words about electronic & experimental music

SINCE 2010

Vondelpark: Sauna (R&S) Yet another odd one coming from esteemed techno label R&S. Vondelpark veers far off-focus into the outskirts of dance music with this 4-track EP of...

Kölsch: Speicher 68 (Kompakt Extra) It’s back to basics with this two-tracker on Kompakt’s Extra offshoot. The 68th entry into the series comes from Danish producer Rune Riley...

Yellow Swans: Going Places (Type) Portland noiseheads Yellow Swans final release Going Places is a hazy dream. It works well as their final bow, shimmering with a bit of woozy gloom....

Gatekeeper: Giza (Merok) Anyone who’s a Depeche Mode fan might remember when they tacked on a bunch of bonus tracks to Music For The Masses in the late 80s. The chugging “Aggro...

Luke Abbott: Holkham Drones (Border Community) It is not surprising in the least that James Holden signed talented producer Luke Abbott to his Border Community imprint. There are several...

Illum Sphere: Dreamstealin’ (Tectonic) Absolutely fascinating slab of new music from talented Manchester act Illum Sphere. The A-side is by far the main attraction here;...

Shinichi Osawa: SO2 (Rhythm Zone) I’m a bit late to the scene when it comes to the music of Shinichi Osawa. The first thing I heard from him was “Love Will Guide You”...

SCB: 20_4 / Hard Boiled VIP (SCB) SCB is the more straight up minimal techno alias of dubstep producer Paul Rose. Rose raised the bar for dubstep with his Triangulation and ensuing...

Submerse: Hold It Down (Well Rounded) Lovely post-garage throwbacks on this 10"/digital EP from dubstep producer Submerse. The A-side is a really nice, smooth 2-step track...

Various Artists: Future Bass (Soul Jazz) I’m always thrown off slightly when Soul Jazz gets its feet wet with electronic trends. The first time I noticed it was in 2002 or so, when...

Arkist & Komonazmuk: Outbreak / Until Next Time (If Symptoms Persist) The A-side of this 2-track EP is a collaboration between Arkist and Komonazmuk, and it’s a jaunty...

uvmann: Matthew Mercer - “And The Sky Opened Up”  Being the featured artist of the day (well, at least through their FB page) Soundcloud introduced me to this fella. Listening to his album...
