Ikude was a very random find. As a matter of fact I’m not entirely sure how I found it initially. But rest assured this is one of the best “IDM” compilations I’ve ever heard. I was actually only able to find it for download on Payplay.fm and I purchased it for $8.88. I [...]

Demune is a combination of 4 underground masterminds - Mole, Orphan, Mattr, and Ancient Mith - and it shows. Spoken word, anthem style lyrics overlay beats and rhythms that contain a very dark and almost supernatural feel make up most of the album. The samples, beats and overall production bring only one name to mind [...]

Now just for the record, I don’t like Adult Swim. I think it’s retarded, and I hate the fact that Def Jux associates themselves with them. However, this mixtape is a truly amazing compilation. With Camo Tao, El-P, Hangar 18, Aesop Rock, and a bunch of others, the line-up should speak for itself. What [...]

Biospheres “Microgravity” is a truly unique album, giving new life to what might normally be considered ambient. Biosphere albums are an all you can eat salad bar of styles ranging from ambient, minimal, idm, electronica, and sometimes you’ll even come across a track that feeds you a little of ebm style synth work. Microgravity is [...]

It’s a seemingly very personal album, and the fact that Ecid wrote and produced this release entirely by himself really [...]

True to form, Nookie has made sure his fifth album doesn’t disappoint loyal fans of that seminal jazz-atmospheric sound. Those of you who reminisce on those days, reminisce no more as ‘Beyond Blue’ proves to you why we need this in the scene. High quality production, smooth deep pads, ultra funky/jazzy basslines, organic sounds, clean [...]

When calyx & teebee announced the prospect of a forthcoming album last year we all knew we were in for something special but i don’t think anyone quite realized how good this album was really going to be… Set to be one of the stand out albums of d’n’b history, this album will surely stand [...]

This is a truly genre bending album from San Francisco based artist, Octavius. The combination of IDM noise, avant style ambiance, and intense angry spoken word hip-hop lyrics make this album the perfect candidate for a Mush Records release. While it sits relatively small at only 9 tracks with album art strangely re mindful of [...]
