Anom Vitruv packs an abundance of ideas into a small space, and does so with grace on this new, untitled 7″.

Anthony Naples, Untitled
This untitled, self-released white label is an unassuming response to all the anticipation looming behind New York upstart Anthony Naples.
Holly Herndon, Movement
Movement, Holly Herndon’s debut LP, is a diverse but brief collection, underlined by the artist’s manipulation of vocals using Max/MSP.
Christopher Rau, Two
Arriving just a year after Christopher Rau’s debut LP, Two follows its predecessor in breeziness, but with markedly less success.
Vessel, Order of Noise
Quickly named an artist to watch based on records for Astro:Dynamics and left_blank, Vessel joined the hyper focused Tri Angle records for his full-length debut and absorbed some of it sound.
Download of the Week: Anaxander, Donna
This week’s download is an aperitif to Anaxander’s solo EP for the Pittsburgh-based Love What You Feel imprint.
STL, Flying Saucer Attack
STL’s first two contributions to Smallvile were incredible refinements of his somber, druggy sound, and his latest, Flying Saucer Attack, offers its own eccentric beatdown house sound.
Portable, A Process
A Process, Portable’s debut for Live At Robert Johnson, is more a return to previous motifs than a major push forward.
Alden Tyrell feat. Mike Dunn, Touch The Sky
Despite similarities to another track on Clone Jack For Daze featuring Mike Dunn, Alden Tyrell’s “Touch The Sky” is hard to hate when it’s so singularly aimed at a good time.
Innerspace Halflife, Wind/Phazzled
Innerspace Halflife, the pairing of Ike Release and Hakim Murphy, build on the success of their debut with this 10″ single for M>O>S Recordings.
René Audiard, Pechorin
Pechorin is considerably different from Supply Records’ first two releases, as it’s more or less a full album of dub techno from one half of B-Tracks.
Tin Man, Neo Neo Acid
Tin Man’s Neo Neo Acid is very much a return to the producer’s acid roots, with the melancholy he’s so studiously cultivated also readily apparent.
LWE Podcast 132: Ekoplekz
Following on his array of influences, Ekoplekz’s LWE podcast touches on the crossover zones between experimental composition and techno, and also features an exclusive preview of a new track by eMMplekz, a collaboration between Edwards and Baron Mordant of Mordant Music.
Torn Hawk, Tarifa
The four tracks on Torn Hawk’s debut, Tarifa, resemble soundtrack work and stand in contrast to the L.I.E.S’ more dance floor-oriented releases.
Locussolus, Berghain
Proving once again that his musical remit is broader than Balearic, DJ Harvey’s Locussolus guise returns with Berghain.
Protect-U, Motorbike
Seemingly following up on an initiative to sign the semi-related likes of Ital and Polysick, Planet Mu play host to the Protect-U’s third record, Motorbike.
John Roberts, Paper Frames
John Roberts’ Paper Frames EP is a logical move, applying that abstraction to his own preference for deeper house and modern classical motifs.
