Riddled with Absence
** Edition of 250 ** Dalibor Cruz's debut LP traces his families bloodline to the mountain town of Siguatepeque and the native people of Honduras, teaming these ancient rhythms inside the framework of the midwest's noise scene. The artwork is an original piece by Gabrielle K. Brown.

Plus
The nine-track Plus comes just 12 days after Sean Booth and Rob Brown released Sign, their first "traditional"-format album since 2013's Exai. This is the second of two new albums that Autechre teased in their lockdown live-stream sessions on Mixlr earlier this year, in addition to their latest batch of live recordings. You might call Sign Autechre's ambient album. The percussive sounds are few and far between, and they create rhythms that are even less legible than the norm for recent Autechre—…

Hyperbeatz Vol.1
dTHEd is Fabio Ricci (Vonneumann, Routine), Simone Lanari (Ask The White, Ant Lion, Walden Waltz, Sycamore Age), Isobel Blank (Ask The White, Ant Lion, Isobi, Vestfalia) and machines/AI. dTHEd was born in 2018: during the organization of the debut of Ask The White, Sum and Subtraction. Seeking some uninterested feedback, Fabio invited Simone and Isobel to listen to some of the hyperbeatz he had been working on after the release of vonneumann's album NorN. What he got back was an embryo of a very…
Esperanto
2006 release ** "On their second album, the Italian duo formed by Enrico Marani (Le Forbici di Manitù) and Fabrizio Tavernelli (ex Afa) – dedicated to an avant-garde electronics that is not sung, but rather recited – continues to explore new languages suited to enhancing interpersonal communication and the representation of reality in all its modern complexity, without simplifications or trivializations. The album features a long list of guests, who contribute in varying degrees: there is Mass…
