Peder Mannerfelt: Transmissions From A Drainpipe

Over a few years in the production game, fact is Stockholm’s offbeat techno warlock Peder Mannerfelt has been one of the few out there to consistently question the nature of stomping mechanics and its subsequent functional use. Picking up where ‘Controlling Body’ left off, Mannerfelt dishes out a four-track EP that works on alternating current voltage.

Lord of the Isles: In Waves

Lord Of The Isles has turned his hand to a full length, working closely with Californian based ESP Institute to distil a wide selection of tracks from the past few years into ‘In Waves’. For a man without any academically noticeable ‘talent’ for music the resulting album is, quite simply, excellent.

Bernardino Femminielli: Plaisirs Américains (Greek Limited Edition)

Initially released in May, Femminielli’s sixth full-length ‘Plaisirs Américains’ was recently re-issued in a one-off, buy-it-or-miss-it edition featuring two new unreleased tracks. Driven by a carefree, deliberately obscene attitude, the Montreal-based artist keeps on carving out his own lane, delivering yet another tight-laced symphony of hypnotic, unsettling lullabies.

Watch the music video for Mikael Seifu ‘Zelalem (Vector of Light)’

Framing Seifu’s track’s slow and steady transformation from an austere, stripped-back opening sequence to a stunningly emotional vox-led trance, Scott & Ayles’ video rolls out a kaleidoscopic collage of elements and textures morphing in one smooth, mesmeric movement of camera. Simply breathtaking.

Unsound Festival 2016

Unsound has made Krakow the crown jewel of an experience that only adds to walking, driving, taking a tram to seeing someone like Senyawa spook their audience to their very core, or seeing Kyle Dixon and Michael Stein bring out one’s inner-child when they played their works from Netflix’s Stranger Things.

EMG

Ahead of EMG’s second release on The Trilogy Tapes, Emanuele Giannini contributes one of his rare mixes showing off his expertise in building up meditative journeys – starting from a long introspective opening, focused on ambient sounds, before circling into a series of captivating house grooves.

GAS: Box

GAS is a project in flux, appropriately matching the ethereal nature of the music itself, and with this latest effort Kompakt have created a refined take on Voigt’s grand vision.

Broshuda: Ooze Vector

Just as he does toy with shapes and structures through retro-laced, post-pop and graffiti-imbued collages, Broshuda has developed a sound that is steadily mutating from a certain ‘figuration’ to increasingly abstract forms. Moving from more calibrated formats to anti-normative fields of experimentation, ‘Ooze Vector’ is a striking example of this substantial evolution.
