Words about electronic & experimental music
SINCE 2010
Maps & Diagrams: Delius (False Industries) Tim Martin’s Maps & Diagrams project is generally quite active, reminding me of Celer, another incredibly prolific ambient...
Slackk: She’s A Vector (Diskotopia) London producer Paul Lynch’s late 2011 EP under his Slackk alias is a curious combo of straight-up house beats with tinges of UK funky and...
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...
The Hacker: Magical Voyage (Tigersushi Periculum No. 5) (Tigersushi) I remember reading a review of the Hacker’s last album with Miss Kittin on Pitchfork.com that basically trashed...
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...

Various Artists: Field 06 (Field Records) There’s techno in the generic pop culture sense that people get excited about going to “the club"… and then there’s TECHNO....
Lukid: Spitting Bile EP (Glum) Surprisingly upbeat EP from previously mostly downtempo producer Lukid, kicking off with “Your Teeth In My Neck.” It’s the most full-on...
Luke Abbott: Brazil (Border Community) One of the better tracks from Abbott’s full-length album Holkhom Drones gets a blown-out EP treatment with several remixes and a bonus track....
Raime: Hennail (Blackest Ever Black) Two tracks from the ghostly duo known as Raime, who I assume are the same people behind the Blackest Ever Black label (most of the releases are from...
Ryan York: If I Am This Forest (Non Projects) Ryan York’s newest EP comes off like the chiptune-tinged bastard child of Panda Bear and Zomby (who coincidentally did their own...
