Kritzkom: Void Minus Matter
Deftly maneuvering her way in and around tangled leftfield motifs and further well-beaconed techno grounds on her new album for Seagrave, Kritzkom weaves minimalistic scales of oddball machinic spurts and clinical-precise metronomic grooves within a widespread gamut of stark post-industrial synthscapes and other deep-and-steep subductive layers.

Ashan: Air & Ether
Meditative and intensely immersive, solar and vibrant, Ashan’s debut for Elestial Sound – ‘Air & Ether’ – couldn’t be more aptly-named with its vaporous complexions and sedative attraction, casting a spell on you the second you press play.

Belisha Beacon: This Is Fine
Belisha Beacon’s ‘This Is Fine’ forgoes esoteric sampling and analogue fetishism to revel in the code and wires of its creation. Instead of descending into grain tinged nostalgia or tech’d up futurism, the five track set exists in the fundamental principles of computer music – using entry level software to live code an ever shifting tapestry of minimal techno.
Blood Room / Micromelancolié: Creek Trax
Always Human Tapes newest outing comes courtesy of a pair of likeminded genre-busters in the persons of Seagrave co-founder Blood Room and Polish experimentalist Micromelancolié. Avant-garde and ultimately daring, high up there with the best of leading-edge electronic music.
Premiere: Monokrom – Liebe (Murray CY Edit)
