Nick R 61 - X (2009)
/Broken beats, Breakcore, Tracker music, Experimental electronica, Noise, Spoken word, Chiptune, 8-bit, Avant-electronica/
Comment: Nick R 61 is a producer from Shakhty, Russia, who used to explore electronic music from different point of views. More concretely, he explores glitch-filled electronica, tumultuous noise, high frequency broken beats, and even frantic 8-bit pathways. X is a patchwork involving all the aforementioned elements, yet, there is one farcelike development based on a phone call with bad language in Russian, and playing on abrasive, off-beat frequencies, and noise-doused chopped electronica (108). Furthermore, even the string-induced textures getting developed into a border area of folktronica are to appear over there (IP I2-IV-I96I).
Voyageurs - WHITE MOON RECORDINGS SINGLES CLUB (2011)
/Psych-rock, Experimental rock, Trance rock, Krautrock, Psychedelia, Shoegaze/
Comment: every following step by Voyageurs, a Fayetteville, Arkansas-based combo is worth to be listened to. Their psych-fused, repetition-heavy patterns and shapes used to create lots of moods and dilate the space around the listener. This time the abovementioned styles are interspersed with the elements of shoegaze and krautrock, especially at those spots regarding ethereal vocal lines and lopsided, elliptical yet repetitive trajectores, respectively. These two pieces (Big Ritual, The Distance) are thought for those melomans who are got involved in listening to Spacemen 3, Serena Maneesh, The Brian Jonestown Massacre and other such kind of musical groups.
Tembryo - Tremblaya (2012)
/Free jazz, Avant-garde, Noise, Improvised music, Experimentalism, Crossover/
Comment: there are up three parts, however, all of them are tightly subjected to the algorithms of improvisational music. The case is not only about free jazz but also about progressions and appearances taking on gritty noiseful bits and chords and obscure yet freeing electronic explorations. In a word, the intention of the release can be delineated as a pigeonhole due to cross lush noise and optimally dispensed experimentation with each other. Tembryo is a trio from Prague, Czech Republic experimenting with the assistance of tenor saxophone, electric guitar, and cassette player/previously recorded sounds. All of that is performed as a live session. Truly plausible and satisfying. The project`s music can be compared to the likes of Borbetomagus, and some works by Bob Ostertag, Zloty Dawai, Vulcan Sessions.
Myles Coyne - I Love You Mom (2012)

Mine All Mine
8.7
/Anti-folk, Lo-fi, DIY, Singer-songwriter, Alt-folk/
Comment: "homesick blues", singer-songwriter/folk songs. Just a guitar, harmonica, recorder, and hotblooded/or even hysterical singing. The set of 7 tracks involves lots of energy around there which at times used to evolve into more synergical moments and frantic outbursts. The ending track Chapter Three used to run on piano drops, however, being more contemplative and profound than the rest of the songs. Very beautiful, being the outstanding glimpse on it for me. In conclusion, not bad at all.
Skanderani - Bastard Jingles (2009)
/Reggae, Dub, Crossover, Psychedelic, World music, Experimentalism/
Comment: just three pieces which take on reggae and some World music-confluenced progressions and outlets. Furthermore, psychedelic influences used to be strong and profound reminding of peripheral dub rock sounds either. You can compare it to the likes of Primal Scream, or Asian Dub Foundation, for instance (Sinai Express). Or on the other side, sultry yet gloomy Mariachi-alike themes are shuffled with tabla rhythms and vinyl crackling (Baraka). The last notch Al Moussaouri meanders on rough, resonating bass chords and dusty reed organ-induced vibes and quacks. In a word, the issue having created by Ahmed Moussa is truly viable and consistent.
Ergo Phizmiz - Music For Your Party (2012)
Ergo Phizmiz
9.4
9.4
/Plunderphonics, Experimental electronica, Electro pop, Sound collage, Cut and paste, Experimentalism, Avant-garde/
Comment: Ergo Phizmiz, one of the most eminent plunderphonics/sound collage artists is back with his brand new one. There are up 6 tracks which used to extend from propulsive, rhythmic electronica and emotionally gushy, bubbling electro gears and ominously sounding samples to spoken word snippets and orchestrated outtakes shuffled around. Catchy and convincing on any scales.
