Aspen: Are You That Retail Snob? (Surgery/Involve) CD // -- // --MD1 Comp. (n5MD) Mini-Disc (www.n5md.com) Oakland (CA) n5MD label with the debut Mini-Disc Compilation 'MD1' of innovative exp. Electronics. Its unique and genre bending structures feature international artists producing cutting edge IDM/Ambient/Electro/Exp. Electronic sounds for fans of labels like Toytronic, Warp, Skam et al. // --Kettel: Dreim (Kracfive) CD (www.kracfive.com) Reimer Eising (Kettel) based in the colder regions of Northern Netherlands uniquely captures an abundance of structured beats and an abstract dose of downbeat rhythms. Kettel's musical style is reminiscent of Plaid (Warp) & Yunx (IYunx Productions). 'Dreim' is relaxed, upbeat, and emotional. // --Maps & Diagrams vs. Broca: Cactus Island Comp. (Cactus Island) 7" Gorgeous, lovely, heartwarming debut 7" on this promising new label, a split release between Pause 2 artist Maps and Diagrams and newcomer Broca both from the UK. Fans of Detroit-influenced ambient electronics (in the style of Transmat, Planet-E et al) take note of these two. Both tracks well worth the rotation! // --Diagram of Suburban Chaos: Status Negatives (Imputor?) CD (www.imputor.com) Abstract electronics are molded to a plethora of bass-driven and structurally intact sound sculptures. 'Status Negatives' captures the essence of lo-end percussion while focuses on the experimental side of deconstructed tweaks and bleeps. Recommended for fans of Skam, Warp, Ad Noiseam, Rephlex. // --Integral Components Comp. (Component) CD (www.componentrecords.com) Component Records strives on bringing the darker (industrial?) side of abstract electronics molded to an array of genres such as IDM/Electro/Ambient/Minimal yet remaining true to the form & function of this compilation of Integral Components. Highlights: 1, 2, 5, 12, 14 // --Aspen: Are You That Retail Snob? (Surgery/Involve) CD (www.surgeryrecords.com.au, www.involverecords.com) Where some ambient electronic artists aim for dark intensity and others verge on techno rhythms, Bevan Smith (aka Aspen/ Signer) combines perfectly paced beats and rhythms to create an uplifting and relaxing mix of electronic and contemporary music. A warm, welcoming and soothing sonic treat that melts deep-bass driven percussion with atmospheric melodies. // --Couchblip Comp. (Couchblip) CD (www.couchblip.com) Couchblip!, the Australian based Experimental Electronic record label releases their debut compilation of abstract, emotive and technically innovative sounds featuring Bloq, Robokoneko (label head) and Disjunction Reunion.
