// --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
