Squarepusher
Be up a Hello
Label: Warp
Release date: 31-01-2020
Genre: Electronic, Drill & Bass, Ambient
Format: Digital, CD, Vinyl
On the album, Jenkinson decided to reuse analogue synthesizers that he used in the early 1990s rather than his own technology that he developed and used on albums like Ufabulum (2012) and Damogen Furies (2015). Many of Be Up a Hello’s tracks were recorded in a single take, giving the album a loose, freewheeling feel that suits the music’s generally manic nature.

DJ Marcelle/Another Nice Mess
Saturate The Market, Now!
Label: Jahmoni Music
Release date: 28-02-2020
Genre: Rhythmic, electronic, experimental
Format: Vinyl, digital
Marcelle pinballs between pumping outsider house, brilliantly weird acid and musique concrète experiments where anything could happen at any given time.

Zea + Oscar Jan Hoogland
Summing
Label: Makkum records
Release date: 07-03-2020
Genre: Sound collage
Format: Digital, Vinyl
A hypnotic groove under a playful song next to an arabic melody on top of an improvised sound collage; the music made up of independent parts, all recorded in one take. The songs are percussive and move on the poly rhythms of two parallel switched turbines.

Floating Points
Crush

His most eclectic album till now, a rich pleasurable balancing act between brain and body, academic seminar and nightclub, cerebral experiment and sensory feast
