Release


Lucistatic - Yurei
From the cold landscapes of Alaska comes a talented new artist by the name of Lucidstatic. With his prolific blend of glitch, breakcore, industrial, and idm, Lucidstatic is by no means an imitator, but rather an innovator of the hard electronic sound. New and unreleased original songs and remixes from 2007-2010.
More


Interviews


Nick Viola - Fractured Transmission
Fractured Transmission was created in early 2004 by Nick Viola as an experimental noise project drawing influences from Merzbow and Imminent Starvation and was often nicknamed "the Mono No Aware of Los Angeles". By mid 2004, moving away from just noise, Fractured Transmission evolved into a more rhythmic and substance filled noise act.
More


Reviews


Cyanotic - The Medication Generation
Sean Payne and the rest of the band haven't wasted the last five years - in fact, it's been quite the opposite. They've reached for a form of sonic perfectionism that in some hands would sound like they were trying too hard, but in these hands it's resulted in an astoundingly detailed and rewarding listen that brings new treats every time you listen, as the sheer depth of the production means there is a lot to explore
More


Somatic Responses - Neon
There are good things here but many of the tracks and the album as a whole could have become radically better or worse with just a few subtle adjustments, and too often "Neon" makes one think either 'if only they'd gone just a bit further' or 'if only they hadn't gone so far.'
More


Evestus - This Is Dramacore
Lack of a production is such a barrier to enjoyment of this album - surely there are at least four or five great songs here if only someone had just said "stop" at the right point in the recording process - that sadly it's all-but impossible to listen to the whole album in one sitting.

Interviews


Nikki Telladictorian - Prometheus Burning
Formed in 2001, Prometheus Burning is a renegade Electro duo from Pittsburgh PA. With visual artist Nikki Telladictorian delivering lyrical lashings on the frontlines while producer Greg VanEck mans the electro battlestation of drum machines, modular synths, and circuit bent devices, Prometheus Burning attacks you with a full scale sonic assault upon the senses. Operating from the fringe and defying definition, they forge an aggressive and eccentric sound that often blurs the line between electronic genres, from dancefloor killing beats to complex chaotic noise.
More


Reviews


Klangstabil - Vertraut
Overall, the production value and versatility of remixes is great but I think this release will only truly appeal to the long time Klangstabil fans. This is a sad fact with any release that appears to be a single and those who overlook it because of this will miss out on some incredible interpretations of the fan-renowned song.
More


Mad Ep & Area Filthy One - Brimstone Bangerz
Ever reliable, Mad EP brings his excellent production values to the table on "Brimstone Bangerz", offering up clean, finely crafted sounds to compliment the vehemence of Area Filthy One's militant rhymes.

Reviews


Lowness - Undertow
It is a pleasant rarity to encounter such a considered, mature approach to themes that are usually dealt with in an adolescent, confrontational (read: distorted vocals + industrial beats + catchy lead synth riffs) manner; the darker side of electronic music receives, in the form of "Undertow", a much-needed shot in the arm.
More


four releases from electroton label
There's a new label in town and this is one you should beware of. It's called Electroton and listening to their most recent releases - which they sent to us in a bundle - they seem to reach out for the audience for whom Raster-Noton is a way of life and are definitely a label to keep track of!
More


Kush Arora - Voodoo Sessions EP
The "Voodoo Sessions" EP is satisfactory dance floor fodder but only the track "Humidifier" and its steamy equatorial leanings will truly transport you elsewhere.

Thermidor - 1929 Revisited
"1929 Revisited" is the companion to Thermidor's critically acclaimed "1929" debut album, featuring reworkings of original Thermidor material by a selection of international artists (Ascetic, Lingouf, Marching Dynamics, Sleep Clinic, Stpocold, Tapage, Talvekoidik and Wilt)

Reviews


Mathias Delplanque - Parcelles 1-10
More


Torrent Vaccine - Focus
Overall this is a solid release providing enough diversity in style to avoid the remix album cliche. The only fault is the sheer volume of remixes versus the promised collaborations and extended mixes. To be fair, considering this is a companion to "Tentative Response" and "Remixude", it serves its purpose in drawing the new listener to the oriinal works from "Tentative Response".
More


Xedh - Vinduskarm
Three themes on "Vinduskarm" are divided into seven tracks, and as a whole they form a nicely composed soundscape ranging from the watery sound of children's toys to somewhat more harsh sounding noise. At no moment it gets dull or boring.
