“Wandering in the underworld late at night, I spy.....”
Circuits surge and darkness descends: Deep N Beeper's RAW 202X Re-RUB literally does what it says on the tin, while Cathode Ray Tube's Imperfect Vessel effortlessly mixes electro, ambient, dub techno, and noise into four monstrous tracks. Children of Osiris' Abramelin 11 unfolds as a sequence of sonic invocations where the archaic and futuristic converge—still it mutates, speaks, and comes alive again. Max Kutner's The Illustrated Interior delivers industrial textures and hypnotic grooves shaped by intuition and chance, and Progressive Anarchists' Iron Golem fuses dub and dubstep through a dirty distorted bass guitar. Alex Routledge's Live Studio Session rounds things out with real-time ambient electronica and IDM built spontaneously on a Yamaha MODX8+.
“The Noctivagant Current is the river you enter when the body sleeps, but the soul keeps walking.”
“'Total Annihilation' is a unique take on dark electronica, drawing inspiration from dystopian and post-disaster films like Threads (1984) and Aniara (2018).”
“An instrumental electronic visceral response to the erosion of truth and freedom in the USA in 2025 AD”
“Blending elements of jazz, rock, breakbeat, and experimental electronic music, NO PANTS ALLOWED takes listeners on a diverse sonic journey”
“A recording like a cry for help that simply fades away in the fluff of information, no longer affecting anyone and only raising questions such as where is the exit here.”
“TERRA is a dialogue between the fluid matter of water and the sound of the modular synthesizer.”
