Ranging from subtly mutating drones of Schloss Tegal, to the corrosive noise-ambience of Kuru, to the obtuse electro-acoustic manifestations of Bestia Centauri, THE OUTSIDER is a varied collection. The unifying thread that binds these divergent approaches is a sincere empathy for Lovecraft’s cosmic perspective and relentlessly horrific imagination. Sounds to provoke the Old Ones to [...]

Hecq is one of the most incredible artists of all time. He’s easily one of my favorite producers, and is surely to be yours after hearing this album. This is an absolutely outstanding mixture of IDM beats, glitchy noises, and overwhelmingly surreal soundscapes. The atmospheres he creates are as dark, if not darker than those [...]

I love Milieu. It doesn’t take long to figure out that Milieu has a very unique sense of sound. He (Brian Grainger) somehow managed to find a way to produce software based sounds, while still maintaining an organic sound. The outcome is incredible, and it’s shown in every layer of every track that he’s ever [...]

Snow Robots vol. 2. Incredible. This should almost be called “New IDM That Doesn’t Sound Like Shit Compared to Original IDM”. Granted, that’s a somewhat long name. However I feel like that would give the potential listener a more solid idea of what their in for. You know when you get some new IDM album [...]

Talada has been experimenting with music since 1987, and has since had projects ranging from industrial, to electronic, to death rock. He also runs a Los Angeles based label, called Mechanismz. If there were ever a genre bending album to portray his vast and lengthy experience as a musician… Nailsleeper was it. This is a [...]

What do you get when you take Hymen Records spectacularly abstract artist line-up, 8 3″ cd’s, and a sexy wooden box? The most elite collectors edition box set ever made. Mostly because it’s literally, a box. But also because the audio on those 8 cute little 3″ cd’s are so packed full of deep abysses [...]

I Went Out Shopping To Get Some Noise is a 10 in my book. Daniel Myer has released 2 albums under the alias Architect, but is probably better known for his work with Haujobb, the electro industrial-noise band who has been around since the early 90’s. Unlike Haujobb, this album bounces in between IDM and [...]

Anish Music is a true gem. Not only is its creator, Ane Oestergaard, one of the few females to delve into this style of production, but it’s also just an overall amazing album. Band Ane is one of those few producers who is so dialed in with her own style, that you really cant tell [...]

“I’m not sure what I expected a winner of the Danish Arts Council award for young composer of the year to sound like, but it wasn’t this.” - Boomkat
Over time this album has become one of my favorite up-tempo IDM albums ever. And not just because from a distance, Karsten Pflum looks oddly like a [...]

Anyone who’s already heard Ceephax Acid Crew knows exactly what to expect from this album. If you’ve never heard Ceephax before, than you have no idea what your in for. It’s a simple as that.
Ceephax has a unique way of continuing the style of experimental and acid that Richard James (aka; Aphex Twin) made popular [...]
