Largely based around self-manufactured modular synthesizers the fourth Retina.it album release sees the light of day or is it the darker inner workings of an ancient machine? Minimal, experimental in nature and decidedly techno ‘Randomicon’ is the second release on newly started Barcelona based FlatMate Music label. In the spirit of randomness (which is supposedly… Continue reading Retina.it, Randomicon [FlatMate Music – FLT002, 2011]

Plakto, Soul’d Out [El-Ljud – ELJD013, 2010]
Plakto’s ‘Soul’d Out’ is the thirteenth release on the until recently completely unknown (to me that is) Swedish net label El-Ljud. They already have some 14 releases to their credit so I for one have obviously missed out on something great. The thirteenth release ‘Soul’d Out’ by Plakto has overall impressive qualities. It is solid… Continue reading Plakto, Soul’d Out [El-Ljud – ELJD013, 2010]

Iuengliss, Blank Matter [Plastic Sound Supply – PSS012, 2011]
‘Plastic Sound Supply’ is the name of a friendly label hailing from Denver, Colorado in the USA. Although not unknown to me this is still the first release being written about at resurface and I must confess it is due time, because their latest offering is also their twelfth release: Iuengliss’ debut album ‘Blank Matter’.… Continue reading Iuengliss, Blank Matter [Plastic Sound Supply – PSS012, 2011]
Sabi, Glued on Thin Memories [Boltfish Recordings – BOLTLP009, 2010]
A very competent and well-executed album released on the relentless and yet very friendly Boltfish Recordings’ label in 2010. This 15 track album opens up with a classic take on electronic beats born on the other side of the Atlantic and may not be groundbreaking for 2011. However, the workmanship is most definitely there and… Continue reading Sabi, Glued on Thin Memories [Boltfish Recordings – BOLTLP009, 2010]
