Boris “New Album” 2xLP

I’m not even trying to keep up with the logistics of the Boris discography at this point. Pretty sure that New Album has already been released in Japan as a limited and expensive vinyl version, and also that some of these songs may or may not already appear on other “new albums” from Boris that [...]

Burial / Four Tet Split 12″

UPDATE: Repressed?! Hurry – forcedexposure.com. I almost shat literally when I got this email announcement from BLEEP. A split 12″ with new material from Four Tet and Burial? You guys, this is gonna be realllly good. A 12″ EP with a side per artist – black jacket, black sleeves, black vinyl. There is none more [...]

Nuel “Trance Mutation” LP

Ladies and gentlemen, Further Records just introduced me to the most original, unique, breathtaking “techno” record I’ve heard in a long time. Nuel (Donato Dozzy’s regular production partner and the brains behind the Aquaplano label) has crafted a completely organic approach to downtempo electronic music, spawning a rhythmic, hypnotic brand of campfire meditation created by [...]

Pete Swanson “Man With Potential” LP

Sorry for the slow posting lately, life has been incredibly busy for both of us. Still, we should’ve posted about this album sooner, its a stunner. Pete Swanson, formerly of Yellow Swans, has just released an LP that will surely make a bunch of year-end lists. If you haven’t noticed (you will when you read [...]

Matt Carlson “Particle Language” LP

Here’s a bent-electronica record from one of our favorite labels (Draft, a subsidiary of Gift Tapes) and one of our favorite experimental artists (Matt Carlson from Golden Retriever). Sci-fi synth shit is over. Mind-melding techno weirdness is king. You either love it or hate it, enough said. Limited to 500 copies and available via DraftRecords.com.

KPLR “Untitled” LP

It seems that fucked-up electronica is seriously taking over. Among the kings of this movement is the KPLR duo. Now just a one-man act (Dexter Brightman), KPLR finally has a debut full-length LP on Digitalis. Complete weirdo shit, for warped, spun-out techno heads. Sold out through the label already, but available via Experimedia. untitled by [...]

Tape Tuesday: Servile Sect Tapes from Handmade Birds

Sci-fi black metal rules. This has been established over the course of Servile Sect’s unimpeachable discography. Following up on their recent LP, Svrrender is a continuation of their astral journey into the buzzing void, once again released on the Handmade Birds label. There’s also a new split tape available from Sadness Saturn and Golden Raven, [...]

Nicolas Jaar “Don’t Break My Love” 10″

I can’t think of many better ways to start this day then by listening to the stream of this new two-track EP from brunch haus superstar Nicolas Jaar. If you are as instantly enamored as we were upon first listening (and why wouldn’t you be?), you’ll be glad to know that you can pick this [...]

Pinch & Shackleton 2xLP

Meanwhile, across the ocean, experimental bass music continues to bloom into strange, new percussive mutations. Pinch and Shackleton have dropped plenty of speaker rattling cuts on various 12″ platters, now they combine their tectonic force onto a killer 2xLP for Honest Jon’s. Peculiar dubs, my friends. Very peculiar. Pick up a copy at beta.forcedexposure.com.

Container “s/t” LP

The motorik pulse of the early electronic underground seems to be slowly creeping back onto the dirty floors and darkened rooms where it was born. Container sneaks straight banging techno back onto your turntable platter, right back where it belongs. These guys have a long ways to go to reach the levels of the old [...]
