Experimental, electronic, slow techno, some industrial flavor, and probably the best new stuff I came across along these lines this year (although it is from last year).
JASSS - Weightless
Klauss & Craig – Momentum
Deep thumping techno.
Tzusing - 東方不敗
Super-power electro, playing for months now. I’ve listened through the whole catalogue before I finally got to posting this here. And there is no one track that’s a letdown.
Solitary Dancer – Dualism
Retro synthwave and tech-house.
Kollaps – Durpass
Soothing but sorrow, tender but troubled. Ambient techno. Apparat meets Steffi.
Terence Fixmer – Force EP
Fixmer, Ostgut Ton, techno.
Group Zero – Structures And Light
Techno. But especially the last track, which is like a psy-synth-tech opus with a post-rock track’s structure, in 12+ minutes.
Actress – AZD
Also a wandering, through techno to experimental ambient soft noises.
Sidenote: the last Gonjasufi record is named after an alternate reality perception thing, and this Actress album writes in the press release about “a chrome aspect journey into a parallel world”. Hm.
FJAAK – FJAAK
Technoid music from Berlin. Not all four-by-four though, some broken beats, ambient textures too, but synths and underground electronic vibe all around. Nice find.
Moiré – No Future
I like long player minimal tech-house albums like this because they tend to be a long enough run of perfect listening material for work. Not too much distraction but quite enough pumping energy.
(And this makes two Ghostly records in a row on this blog.)
