“Reclaiming The Darkness involved a sample exchange– across the Pacific Ocean, unique and home-crafted sounds travelled as tiny bits, to be retrieved at other shores. Several pieces were written by each artist as “solo” pieces, and one piece, “Blinded”, was written by simply agreeing on a track length, and mixing two signals, one from each artist, without preview. The result is a strange and enjoyable journey that emphasizes the strengths of both artists!”

“Martsman returns on Exegene with two tight crunchy slabs of robot breaks. Since his debut release for Exegene, he’s been showing his glitchy expertise on labels such as Offshore and Plain Audio which have been greatly recieved. With more release on Breakin’, Counter Intelligence and more on Offshore it’s time we got him back for another round of distorted xeroxfunk for Exegene. ‘Roads’, which has been recently remixed by Sileni for Exegene (and is featured on the CD with Knowledge #66) starts off the journey with luscious ambience and echoed slices of glitched breaks. ‘Roads’ then moves into a tight rolling number with a deep but rugged bassline. A melange of mangledness twists up things before a funky little bassline bleeps away with a barrage of mechanical edits and cymbal smashes. The B-side ‘Blob’ takes the release to a more minimal level. Spacious 808’s lead the way over light pads whilst bleeps and plinks flow over a pounding deep kick. Slithers of glitches move in and out of the microbic blips and reverbed claps. Both these tunes definitely fit into a more daring set to change things up a bit.”

“First Experimedia unleashed a collection of lush ambient soundscapes, to commemorate their 25th release. Then they unveiled an abrassive noise compilation, aimed at proprietors of artistic censorship. And now, Experimedia returns with their greatest compilation yet… the double LP-length Rhythm Method, featuring close to 160 minutes of new & exclusive music from mostly new and/or unheard artists. Thematically, this release continues the tradition of attacking a specific niche of electronica, with the focus now on beat-driven electro, squelchy glitch-hop, raw and rugged d’n'b… basically, if it has a pulse, it is being represented. Whether you like to dance, nod yer head, or just sit back and chill to some ear candy…this is for you.

Design by Jack Rabbit.”

“The South EP is a collection of melodic downtempo with various melodic flow themes scaterred throughout. Tlink, who hails from the sunny realm of South Florida, brings forth three exquisite pieces of musical travels. A short & very nice ep!.

Here’s a short description of the tracks:

01_Things_Change - Both dark & mysterious vibe with piano flows over radio/tv chatterings scaterred throughout in the background.

02_Nontheme - Reggae-ish/Tribalesque native-like beats over countryside views of an Finnish countryside.

03_Frogs_and_Generators - Downtempo over a strangely enchanting melodic theme. I especially like the title on this track, as I believe myself that both Frogs and generators are two great random sound generators for sampling when procuring new experimental sound sources from.”

“Longtime Kikapu collaborator and friend Alexey Devyanin, otherwise known as Stud and one half of the well-known group Gultskra Artikler, has returned after a lengthy sojourn with an incredible new EP that is as far away from his previous releases as one could possibly imagine. I guess someone can only create pretty, organic IDM and electronics for so long before an artist has to break out of the mold with new tracks that are bristling with an intensity otherwise unparalleled. This concise seven-track EP is brazenly unapologetic in it’s creation and construction from computer-generated sounds into a mish-mash of drill n’ bass, IDM, and a sprinkling of hardcore. And what’s most important is that this release is a hell of a lot of fun.”
