Words about electronic & experimental music
SINCE 2010
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...
Seth Cluett: Objects Of Memory (Line) Seth Cluett’s pieces here are incredibly subtle. He combines traditional instruments with appropriated objects and mis-used materials to...
Royal Oaks: Hopscotch EP (Self-released) I first met Benjamin Oaks in Portland in 2009 after living here for about a year. We hit it off over cocktails and a conversation about Wolfgang...

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...
Puresque: Vor Leitmotiv EP (Tresor) If any label knows techno inside and out, it’s Tresor. After all, the Berlin powerhouse has been a mainstay in the techno community and largely responsible...
Eprom: Feldspar (Leisure System) Nasty, squelchy fun from Alexander Dennis on this two-tracker EP. “Feldspar” is a woozy intersection of a four-to-the-floor club banger with...
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....
Eliphino: More Than Me (Somethink Sounds) Ultra smooth EP of tracks from Eliphino. I’d previously heard Eliphino’s Undivided Whole EP back in 2010 which I enjoyed, but...
