Fixateur Externe – A Fekete Gong CS (Unsigned / Blastbeat Worship)
Here’s another interesting experimental recording, recently released by Unsigned and Blastbeat Worship. Like many other avant-garde outlets, Fixateur Externe are strangers to these pages, and I previously had a chance to review a couple of their releases. Fixateur Externe is more of a collective than a project, mainly because it gathers various Hungarian experimental artists…

David Christy Jones – Welcome To Virology
The only positive thing about this situation with a pandemic is that creativity blooms inside creative minds, musicians, and artists. The musicians have a lot more spare time to write, compose, record, produce compositions which will later become an integral part of their recordings. David Christy Jones is one of those musicians who wisely spent…

Uncensored – Μέσα μου Ζει CD (Polyscope)
No matter which genre we’re talking about, Greece has always been a fertile ground for exceptional bands. Pick any genre from melodic punk rock, crust punk, stoner, sludge metal, or plain hard rock, Greek bands are nailing it in every genre you could even imagine. I was fully aware of their experimental avant-garde scene and…

Jan Kinčl & Regis Kattie – In Plain Sight LP (PDV Records)
It’s nearly impossible not to mention Jan Kinčl while digging deep into the Croatian electronic music scene. Whenever you’re searching for regional electronic music over the web or discovering new vinyl selection while digging the crates at local record stores, there’s a high probability you’ll stumble upon his music.

The sound of The Macrotones is challenging to define by simplistic genre classifications, but it’s definitely worth your attention. Nevertheless, their experimentations with a comprehensive collection of various genres are unquestionably appealing to the listening apparatus. First Signs Of Danger is their second full-length recorded back in now distant 2011, but it’s still relevant today…

Faratuben – Sira Kura CD (Sounds Of Subterrania)
Faratuben is a Malinesian/Danish ensemble comprised of eight highly experienced musicians who’re delivering traditional bobo music. The bobo music is playing an integral part in bobo culture and folklore, and this specific sound is usually achieved on balafon (West African marimba) and dondo (the talking drum). Faratuben decided to upgrade traditional articulations by implementing omnipresent…

Convulsif – Extinct CD (Hummus Records)
Convulsif are roaming around the experimental music scene for a while, and their music is hard to define by some simplistic definitions. Each performance comes as a bit of a surprise, considering their strivings to improvise on each live set. The group tends to shock and amaze at the same time with their profoundly aggressive…

Qoniak – Mutatio CD (Hummus Records)
Qoniak is an experimental electronic duo comprised of Vincent Membrez and Lionel Friedli. The group explores so many musical spheres that it’s so difficult to grasp their music in just one listening. This duo bases its sound on vintage analog machines, profoundly detailed synthesis, and a comprehensive collection of complex rhythmical maneuvers. The highly intelligent…

And Now That We Are Here is their latest offering to the…
