*Press A* ~ Voidrun, Yuppie Psycho
Pentadrangle ~ Voidrun Voidrun is, without a doubt, one of the most enjoyable chiptune surprises of the year. It does what its MIDI-inspired kind of electronic does best: mash genres up into unique, new-sounding music. It’s got an old-school metallic

GIL ~ Infolding
Three years removed from Orchids & Wasps, Berlin’s GIL has returned with a more refined sound. Where the previous EP was hyperactive, the new EP is merely energetic; where the previous EP was sparse, the new EP is dense. There’s a place for

Otto Solange ~ шон
If a turntablist album were to marry a hauntology album, the child might sound something like шон (Poles). This is the previously hidden side of an artist normally known for making ambient-minded music under another name. There’s a hint of Endtroducing

Michailo + Irakli ~ Release
The lead story of Release is not the music, but the source. Michail Todua (Michailo) is currently in the sixth year of a nine-year stent in a Georgian prison, having been convicted of carrying a trace amount of MDMA (ecstasy). Under Georgian law,

Haav ~ Flyt
The Norwegian word Flyt means “flux, flow or float” (nice alliteration!), and the subtitle of Haav‘s album is Water Music. This appealing set investigates the rhythmic and textural properties of water in myriad forms, from dripping pipes to flowing streams to snow and ice.

Valiska ~ Numbers
Valiska‘s Numbers has been ruminating for years. Untraceable transmissions, known as Numbers stations, came to his attention over a decade ago. Here’s how they work: every day, at regular intervals, strange voices are broadcast over narrow bands of shortwave radio.
