Shinichi Atobe
Yes
Label: DDS
Release date: 08-07-2020
Genre: Electronic, IDM
Format: Digital, Vinyl
Shinichi Atobe’s fifth album for DDS, his first in two years. Deep and sublime, the classic Chain Reaction < > Chicago House vibe.
Continuing a remarkable run of post-comeback releases, the secretive Japanese producer trades chilly dub techno for warm, almost chipper house music.
Machinedrum
A view of U
Label: Ninja Tune
Release date: 09-10-2020
Genre: Electronica, Drum & Bass, IDM
Format: Digital, CD, Vinyl
It’s the LA-based producer’s ninth solo album. It features an incredible cast of collaborators including Sub Focus, Chrome Sparks, Father (Awful Records), Freddie Gibbs, Mono/Poly (Brainfeeder), Tigran Hamasyan, Jesse Boykins III, Rochelle Jordan and Tanerélle.
“A View of U” distills his signature fusion of IDM, UK rave, jungle and bass culture blended with myriad US regional hip-hop and club music styles.
Full Monty
Strange Behaviour
Label: Basserk
Release date: 12-10-2020
Genre: Electro
Format: Digital
Amsterdam based producer Full Monty creates electro with influences of Italo and Bass. In his tracks you recognize a bit of the nostalgic electro sounds from the early 2000’s. These tracks will do perfect on a dancefloor (if there will be one again) but also perfect work-out material.
Autechre
Sign
Label: Warp
Release date: 16-10-2020
Genre: Electronic, IDM, Experimental
Format: Digital, CD, Vinyl
SIGN is the 14th album by Autechre (Rob Brown and Sean Booth). According to some things they have said, this could be the first of two new albums they have completed recently.
The new album is unpredictable, warm, and mysterious. An instand classic.
