In a way the most accessible Four Tet so far, sometimes odd mostly for the house beats, but still magical like always.
Four Tet – New Energy
Touchy Subject - Skyward EP
IDM infused with some glitches and breakcore beats and jungle rythm and dub. Surprisingly powerful, exciting.
Biogen – Halogen Continues
Mid-tempo break beats over IDM electronics. Nina Kraviz collected some rare materials of Biogen, good that she did.
Marconi Union – Tokyo+
A little bit extended version of the 2009 Tokyo. Rhythmic ambient downtempo wondering.
Max Cooper – Emergence
According to its premise this is supposed to score the universe with music from before the boom to the infinite future. Beautiful, atmospheric, inspiring.
Submerse – Works
Very much soothing glitchy-chilly-heady IDM.
Josip Klobučar – Bad Taste
Weird-hop, psychedelic glitch, murky bass. This little 4-track EP is wtf brilliant, like Amon Tobin level
amazing IDM, and still completely unique.
Ginormous – At Night Under Artificial Light
Eclectic electronic with some heavy old-edIT kind of glitch beats, some ambient textures and noiseful IDM, some instrumental hiphop tempo, and even some chill psychedelic tunes here and there.
Looks like I just re-discovered the Hymen Records catalog.
VNDL – Gahrena: Structures
Part intimate, part exploration. Ambient and glitches and noises.
VA – Emerging Organisms vol. 5
This is the best compilation album I have heard in quite a while. Didn’t know any of the artists and now have albums queued from all of them. This is a gold mine.
