Words about electronic & experimental music

SINCE 2010

Insiden: Above Us (In Paradisum) On a first impression, French outfit Insiden traverses similar terrain to the murky underworld of Haxan Cloak. The sound is pitch black and ominous, like...

Locked Groove: Thesseus (Permanent Vacation) “Thesseus” is markedly different from previous 12”s from producer Tim Van de Meutter, mainly in that it hangs its hat on a spacy refrain that...

Nebulo: Akzidens (Stomoxine) French composer Thomas Pujols’s latest as Nebulo is his first on the Stomoxine label, and it’s the first one I’ve heard from him. Over the span of its thirteen...
