Interviews



Audiotrauma Collective - Audiotrauma
Though not very active as a label until recently, this young collective has already left an enduring mark in the field of undergroung electronic music, in France and abroad, both because of the pool of talent that makes up the collective and of the events that it organized and which culminated in the still-remembered Noxious Art festivals.

Reviews



Fractional - Come Mierda
"Come Mierda" is, in essence, more like dark IDM than ambient, industrial or drum'n'bass, but will appeal to fans across all these genres for different reasons. Imagine a chimeric creation mingling Squarepusher, Panacea, Ah Cama-Sotz and Haujobb, and you'll have something approximating Fractional in mind.

Absent - Children
A pretty good release that is sure to find adepts among appreciators of precise dark electronica but, in the end, there's a feeling that the relationship between the several media that comprise it isn't somewhat lopsided.

Electric Colony - Electric Colony
This album is definitely worth a listen; something you can play at work without drawing the eyebrows or criticism of your co-workers in neighboring cubes or when you're in the mood for something mellow without compromising on depth.
