Serving his label Shanti Planti with honor, Tribone rallies the troops with a battle cry in the otherworldy land of psychedelic bass music. A rare outlier in a field so clearly steeped in dub influences, Tribone faces this world with the smirk of someone raised around psytrance. His latest effort “Incantations” is a wild burst of energy to whet the appetite of fans and rock the socks off the dancefloor with strange vibrations. Be prepared to stomp this one out.
Read MoreLosion - Swarm [Premiere]
Imminent by Losion, the latest release from UK collective Outtalectuals, exists at the intersection of chugging guitars and IDM sound design. Occasionally using the label “neurohop” to describe his sonic experiments, Ludovic Delespierre (Losion) is more notable for his guitar playing and use of crash cymbals than this genre tag might imply, Here is an invitation to dive deep into the most sedate of the five songs from Imminent, “Swarm”.
Read MoreChord Marauders - Polar Bear
In August 2018, London-based dubstep producer Geode was unable to perform at the Chord Marauders showcase at Shambhala Music Festival due to the severe illness of Ola, his partner.

All proceeds will go towards Ola's medical bills,
Read MoreResonant Language - Laminar Flow [Single]
Of the sounds echoing out of Colorado, none bear the banner of “weird” quite as dynamically as Resonant Language. While concepts like IDM or Bass Music might have some sticking power, the gravitation towards under-explored or novel areas of magnetic manipulation constantly defy expectation and often totally stymie any effort to describe him. The new single, “Laminar Flow”, available now on Addictech and next week on Bandcamp, is no exception.
Read MoreDreamWalker - Exodus
Through its fierce experimentalism, this new three-track DreamWalker release Exodus slides neatly into the colony productions catalogue and DreamWalker's own small discography. Given the caliber of the producers who have released on colony productions, Exodus puts DreamWalker in the realms of giants, and he measures up decently.
Read MoreDeeZnauts - Disruptor
DeeZ and Smigonaut are two Boston-dwelling bass mages practiced largely in the crafts of halftime and glitch hop. The two have alchemized their labor into a single project and Street Ritual now blesses the world with Disruptor, the first release from the hilariously-named DeeZNauts. This EP - the 150th release from Street Ritual - is fittingly a testament to the evolving sounds of the next generation of electronic enthusiasts.

Read Morewassuop - Drawing a Blank
There is an air of excitement around midtempo glitch in the state of Washington that is irrepressibly growing, and Drawing a Blank is emblematic of this growth. This wassuop release through Washington-based label Danktronics not only affirms the relationship between him and his distant squadron of fans, it also provides a potential flashpoint between the two.

Read MoreiX - About Thyme EP
iX (who shyly tells me his first name is Lucas but doesn't want his full name exposed on the internet) is a new artist from Brooklyn, NY with a world-fusion sound informed by attentiveness to danceable rhythms and occasional moments of intense mid-bass sound design. iX is still quite a fresh face and About Thyme is his first foray into the formal release format.

Adam Westover aka Ovoid is vaulting into 2018 with two EPs to follow his full-length debut last year. The downtempo LP Life was a passion project that revealed his artistic persona.
