 "Hobs sounds like how hip hop would sound in about fifty years, with harsh industrialism taking the place of scratches."

 "'Minxed' is the masterpiece of the EP, a symphony for glitch and flanger in free form, floating in nothingness."

The review explores the mysterious Dual Purpose project, likely connected to Gescom and Skam. The EP 'Hobs' mixes futuristic hip hop with industrial and IDM influences, drawing parallels to Autechre. 'Minxed' is highlighted as the standout track, praised for its glitchy, experimental sound. Overall, the EP is regarded as a significant and excellent release within this niche electronic scene. Listen to Dual Purpose's 'Hobs' and dive into a futuristic blend of IDM and industrial hip hop now!

 The deliberately lo-fi production provides unique chromatic effects to 'Seventh Ace Deuce'.

 'Cake Mic' is an android and glitchy hip hop that showcases both compositional freshness and notable creative peaks.

Gescom returns with Skull Snap, an EP released on Skam's hip hop label Skullsnap, blending experimental hip hop with IDM and notable lo-fi production. The EP serves as a continuation of the project's past works but distances itself from Autechre's influence. While 'Seventh Stone Triangle' shows a weaker French touch style, tracks like 'Cake Mic' and 'V Take Fastroll' stand out for their creativity and mix of old school and futuristic elements. The EP is praised for its originality and experimentation. Listen to Gescom’s Skull Snap EP now and experience cutting-edge experimental hip hop combined with IDM innovation.

 The Ahleuchatistas of 'On The Culture Industry' have their own specific sound, a sound they self-define as 'avant-technical-post-Beefheart.'

 It is also the contrast between its unabashedly DIY sound and its anything but naive realization that makes 'On The Culture Industry' such a peculiar work.

The review praises Ahleuchatistas' debut album On The Culture Industry as an excellent and superior work distinguished by its complex and chaotic math-rock style. It highlights the band's technical prowess, inventive instrumental patterns, and unique sound self-described as 'avant-technical-post-Beefheart.' Though the production is raw and less polished, this only enhances the album's character. The review favors this album over its more generic, progressive follow-up. Dive into Ahleuchatistas' intricate and raw math-rock sound—explore On The Culture Industry now!

 "The first is quite anonymous, the second is absolutely spectacular, among the absolute peaks of the Gescom entity."

 "'C1' is simply monumental, a hip hop experiment with intentionally out-of-sync, pseudo-random, and confusing rhythmic fragments that would drive even the most experienced MC crazy."

Gescom's A1-D1 mini CD combines two contrasting EPs: the first featuring nostalgic and somewhat naive acid house breakbeats, and the second a spectacular hip hop-inspired experiment. The first part showcases sampling and revival of old tracks with mixed success, while the second delivers radical, avant-garde deconstruction of hip hop and classic house sounds. This release stands out for its bold experimentation and may be the only Gescom work without Autechre's involvement. Dive into Gescom's A1-D1 and discover a daring fusion of acid house nostalgia and boundary-pushing hip hop experiments!

 "ISS:SA, released in 2003 by Skam, shows us a project well aware of the hyper-technological evolutions that have involved the Autechre creation with the dawn of the new millennium."

 "The most unique experimentation is represented by the insane 'TR2A,' a masturbative hip hop sonata for lobotomized minds."

Gescom's ISS:SA EP, curated by Sean Booth, is a sophisticated IDM release from 2003 reflecting the evolution of electronic music in the new millennium. It showcases complex rhythms, acid influences, and ambient textures with standout tracks that hint at later Autechre work. The EP blends digital hip hop elements with cerebral and experimental soundscapes, making it a notable and rewarding listen. The CD version also features a bonus track that further emphasizes intricate IDM puzzles. Dive into Gescom's ISS:SA EP and explore a masterful blend of IDM, acid, and experimental sounds today!

 This uniqueness is multiplied by a thousand (a figure that is anything but hyperbolic).

 Designed to be played in random mode, Minidisc is simply an avant-garde record for its release date (and in many ways it still is today).

Gescom's Minidisc is a highly experimental album crafted for the niche minidisc format. With 88 micro-tracks, it presents a complex, glitch-driven soundscape marked by abstract and anarchic textures. The album challenges conventional music structures and showcases a futuristic and inhuman auditory experience. It stands as a unique artifact in electronic music history and a testament to Autechre's innovative vision. Listen to Gescom's Minidisc and experience one of the most radical electronic albums ever created.

 It is a two-faced album, the exact line that separates what is called 'commitment' and what is, in fact, 'irreverence'.

 That’s what happens when you invite Otto into the studio, an unstoppable meat grinder.

Modeselektor’s 'Happy Birthday!' showcases a bold fusion of irreverent electro and hip-hop with IDM elements. The album strikingly contrasts the chaotic contributions of Otto Von Schirach with the ethereal vocals of Thom Yorke. A follow-up to their debut, it pushes boundaries on the BPitch Control label with smart, experimental tracks and wild dance anthems. The review highlights this duality as the album’s unique strength. Discover Modeselektor’s wild and cerebral 'Happy Birthday!'—listen now and experience electronic music’s daring edge!

 The unreleased track 'Blyz Castl' is not a very successful breakbeat experiment with vague references to certain late '80s hip hop productions.

 Definitely a half disappointment for the Japanese fans, who usually get juicy bonus tracks exclusively for their market from Warp.

This review covers Autechre's Digital Exclusive EP, a Japan-only iTunes release tied to their Quaristice project. Featuring two alternate versions of previously released tracks and one new breakbeat experiment, the EP offers an interesting but limited addition to their discography. The reviewer finds the new track less successful and notes the EP might disappoint fans expecting more exclusive content. Discover Autechre's unique experimental EP and explore its place within the Quaristice universe.

 An experiment that certainly sounds more Gescom than Autechre, based on smoked beats, dark background textures, cryptic acids, and evolving very old-school synths.

 A preview of the otherworldly sound we’ll hear two years later on the monumental Confield.

Autechre's SpltRmx EP offers two rare tracks blending remix, sampling, and original material. The first track fuses abstract hip hop and electronic krautrock, with dark textures and old-school synths. The second track previews the experimental, atmospheric soundscape later heard on Confield. This EP stands out as a unique and different work in Autechre's discography. Discover Autechre's unique SpltRmx EP—listen now and experience their dark, experimental fusion of electronic sounds.

 An EP decidedly ahead of its time, and one of the very first experiments in the digital and cerebral style that the Manchester duo would primarily develop a year later.

 The ideal meeting point between Gescom and Autechre.

We R Are Why is a rare 1996 EP by Autechre, showcasing early digital and cerebral experimentation. It bridges their evolving style with the rhythmic electro influences of their Gescom project. The tracks range from playful and lighthearted to deep, cinematic analog sounds. The EP acts as a precursor to later works like Chiastic Slide and Minidisc. It represents a unique meeting point between Autechre and Gescom’s sonic worlds. Explore Autechre’s pioneering EP and witness the roots of their iconic sound.
