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.

Essential Guide: Intonal Festival 2017

Held at Inkonst and Inter Arts Center in Malmö from 27 to 30 April 2017, Intonal Festival is slowly but surely budding into a high-level fixture in the narrow market of quality off-season electronic music festivals. Here’s our recap of the essential acts and performances you should not miss.

Watch the teaser now.

Bergsonist

Up this week in our podcast series, NY-based producer Bergsonist delivers a vibrant mix of wide-sweeping electronics, lushly forested by her all-consuming appetite for all types of music; melodic and harsh, groovy and gloom-mongering, happy and anxiogenic.

Following news of Jan Jelinek’s reissue of Loop-Finding-Jazz-Records LP – the occasion was too good to miss, so we caught up with the producer as he reels over the process for arranging this reissue and looks back to 2001 where he gets onto the process behind recording the album as a student in Berlin.
