      • Release – Inner Ocean Records’ BLESS Vol. 1

        Dave Wesley, May 26th 2017

        My penchant for deep lo-fi dubby techno and chill music is almost equaled (and was preceded by) an obsession with deep lo-fi dirty instrumental hip hop and trip-hop.  DJ Krush performed a show of minimal hip-hop beats and atmospheres at Sursumcorda nightclub in Minneapolis (circa 2001) and it re-contextualized my sonic world. Inner Ocean Records […]

            Dave Wesley, May 23rd 2017

            As you probably have discovered, the net is littered with interesting ambient noise, productivity, and curio shops of aural horrors.  While sites like focus@will and Coffitivity purport to tweak attention productivity, others bring novelty and nerd ambiance into our physical and/or head spaces.  Check Star Trek TNG Ambient Engine Noise (Idling for 24 hrs) on YouTube.

            • But Darling It’s Hideous EP – CY006

              Adas Butler, May 20th 2017

              Contort Yourself, purveyors of obscure, difficult industrial noise that damn well makes your body move, are on their sixth compilation, and this one is flat-out great. As usual, it’s a mix of old and new, with the standout discovery being Penelope’s Fiance, a Greek producer who shifts uncannily between the unsettling and the sublime. There’s two […]

              • Jesse Osborne-Lanthier – From A Flawed Apex Which Led To The Head

                Wesley Mayhem, May 18th 2017

                This is a rare and fantastic blend of experimental music and techno structures with a striking holism.  Bandcamp showed me that Philip Sherburne purchased these bits and bytes, so I checked it out.  I shot.  I scored. Long live Jesse Osborne-Lanthier. Long live Where To Now? Records, UK. Long live Philip Sherburne. Long live Bandcamp. […]

                  • Earth by Means of the Currents

                    Adas Butler,

                    Earth by Means of the Currents was a series of ten original artworks by Autumn Richardson & Richard Skelton, collaged almost entirely from Evan Hopkins’s ‘On the Connexion of Geology with Terrestrial Magnetism’, and accompanied by two new recordings of voice, strings, tone generators and field recordings. The book is a little hard to find now […]
