Consume Adapt Create has been Daniel Myer’s largest and most successful departure from industrial and EBM since Haujobb’s 1999 album, Ninetynine. This latest release from Myer’s Architect project is a contemporary fusion of dark breaks, drum & bass, hardcore and dubstep. While Myer should be praised for masking any influences in previous work—including prior Architect [...]
The Electronic Heart is the latest EP from producer/video artist Pierce Warnecke. It’s a 6-track electro-glitch feast for the senses. As the title suggests, there’s a good balance between organic and synthetic properties here. The music is almost entirely made from distorted synth sounds but the arrangements are incredibly sophisticated and human. The EP starts [...]
German DJ/Producer, Dominik Eulberg, is one of the most innovative minimal/techno artists of the decade. Drawing his inspirations and sounds from nature, he creates complex organic arrangements that build and evolve effortlessly. Each sound is treated like a musician in a symphony—weaving in and out of an electronic landscape. At an average of eight minutes, [...]

The title track, “Life Continuum” is an atmospheric dark-step track with big bass and a heavy beat, something of which I missed on the LP. The flip side, “Wondering Why” is an extremely warm tune with plenty of depth, ricocheting beats [...]
Kryptic Minds, a production duo hailing from London, have contributed to the deep drum & bass scene since 2005, but It’s no surprise that they’ve slowed things down for their latest LP. One of Us is a welcome departure from the heavy hitting antics of songs like “More Like You” and “Blue Print,” in which [...]
Whatever floats your boat, this may not be it. Really, a large part of me is surprised that this particular boat belongs in part to Portishead’s Geoff Barrow at all. If there’s one phrase I definitely don’t recall popping into my head while listening to Dummy it was “krautrock noodling.” But there’s been a lot [...]
Try and Imagine pure evil as a living force that feeds on life, death, murder and pain. This evil infiltrates a city, tainting the air, water and streets. As its power grows, so does fear, corruption, agony and hysteria. For all those unfortunate enough to live here, death is imminent. Let the Night Roar is [...]

Scars‘ journey starts remarkedly fresh, with an ethereal and operatic promise of modern twists upon their trademark upbeat sound. Sadly, it quickly veers [...]
