Igloo Magazine Autechre (æ) :: Tri Repetae (Warp Records) — 30 years later ///

"Autechre’s Tri Repetae (Warp Records, 1995) marked a turning point in electronic music, fusing minimal rhythms, metallic textures, and abstract melodies into something both mechanical and deeply human. Three decades on, its futuristic pulse and experimental sound design still feel timeless, reaffirming the duo’s position as architects of music yet to come." ~Chang T.

Igloo Magazine Solypsis :: THE COMING FIGHT (Voidstar Productions) ///

"Solypsis’ The Coming Fight detonates sixteen micro-bursts of mechanical chaos, where James Miller channels industrial grit and power-noise pulses through fractured, bass-driven technoid landscapes. Across blistered percussion, warped synths, and insurgent IDM-infused breakcore, the album balances brutality with transcendence, crafting a confrontational yet hypnotic journey through sound." ~Pietro DS

Igloo Magazine — Mouse on Mars :: Herzog Sessions (sonig) — [flashback]

"Werner Herzog’s Fata Morgana is a hallucinatory, Sahara-set “documentary” filmed decades ago, blending long, hypnotic desert shots with music by Johnny Cash and Leonard Cohen. In 2007, Mouse on Mars created a live, psychedelic score for the film, merging electronics, guitar, drums, and horns into an experimental soundtrack that ultimately left Herzog unimpressed." ~Alessandro M.

"The Black Dog’s Loud Ambient channels the raw, methodical energy of ’90s British electronica, translating Sheffield’s margins—abandoned factories, council estates, and urban rhythms—into music that moves both mind and body. With a renewed love for classic drum machines and a disciplined architecture of arpeggio and bass, the album fuses ambient immersion with dancefloor rigor, proving that old-school craft can still feel urgent and alive." ~Mirco S.
