Nikola Nezit - Beth EP (ODDOT)

Something new, strange and beautiful to see you into the new year. The new EP by Nikola Nezit on the fantastic ODDOT label (home to /PLEASE/, (((O))) and Shisa, among others) has complex melodic piano arrangements reminiscent of Angelo Badalmenti, exquisite synth patterns, live stringed instrumentation, and echoing snatches of found speech. Defying genre categorization and explanation, fusing organic and electronic, this is a beautiful collection of songs: dreamlike and cinematic.

Aparition - Total Fucking Annihilation [Aural Sects / Raveyard]

This is straight up fucking darkness - like the title says, Total Fucking Annihilation. Evil bass, layered synths, creeping industrial menace and a polished, professional finish - this jumps out the speakers and dissects the listener with gleaming scalpels of doomish noise. Absolutely unmissable stuff, offered up as a free split release between our fellow travellers Aural Sects and the mighty Raveyard collective. Conjuring the nightmarish visions of Shin'ya Tsukamoto, and nodding indirectly to the predatory melodies of John Carpenter scores, producer Aparition has delivered an instant classic... this is one for the darkhearts among you. Get it now.

p.WRECKS & K. CLIFTON aka QUIZ

p.WRECKS and K. Clifton (aka Quiz) are two rappers hailing from Spokane, Washington. I first came across them via producer BL▲CK CEILING, who has done some tracks with Quiz. Since then I've followed both rappers, each of whom are incredibly prolific. Another thing they have in common is a multi-syllabic, polyrhythmic flow, and a tendency to dwell on the dark side of life. They're both fantastic rappers and producers in their own right, but when they collaborate (often with producer Xrin Arms), the results are stratospherically awesome. I don't know what they put in the water down in Spokane, but from where I'm sitting it seems like they have an incredibly diverse and high-concept underground hip-hop scene. These guys are the ones to watch: I hope this post leads you to more of their brilliant solo works.

PLAID x CUSAX x FUNERALS x ∆AIMON x RUSTIE by ƸC†OPL∆SM

At 8:45 long, this really is a mini-mix, but producer ƸC†OPL∆SM manages to cram a lot in, from mutated Rustie breaks to post-witch house vibes from Funerals and ∆AIMON. If you enjoy this, check out some more ƸC†OPL∆SM releases:
