Check out the groovy title track from electronic music duo Gardland’s forthcoming debut LP Syndrome Syndrome. The twosome describes the sound of the album as “elegantly wasted,” which seems to be an apt description given the whirring psychedelic synth and pseudo-tribal percussion found on this track. Enjoy!

Check out a new track from experimental electronic musician Brian Leeds, a.k.a. Huerco S. “Prinzif” is taken from his upcoming LP Colonial Patterns and is an intriguing piece of EDM, with its multi-phased composition coming across as quite grand, even exquisite, despite its fading and crackling analog esthetic.

A hard-hitting new single from Tessela, which is out October 7th via R&S Records. The track is a pretty interesting use of breakbeats, creating grooves that are equally hard-hitting and off-kilter.

Check out the surprisingly busy lead single from drone musician Tim Hecker’s upcoming LP, Virgins. The multi-phased piece begins sauntering along with a crooked, percussive piano arrangement, which is overwhelmed by a gleaming wall of feedback and a fluttering synth sequence as it progresses. Enjoy! Virgins will be released

Opened Door by Aaron Dilloway LA noise musician Aaron Dilloway (formerly of Wolf Eyes) is back with a proper follow-up tape to his 2012 tape-loop epic, Modern Jester. Opened Door clocks in at just under 20 minutes, and its A-side might just be the most rhythmic thing Dilloway’s done
