dgoHn: s/t EP (Astrophonica, 2019)

dgoHn: s/t EP

dgoHn released an album on Rephlex a decade ago, but I haven’t kept up with his career since then. His music is just as breathtaking now as it was then, building intense narratives out of deftly manipulated breakbeats and traces of menacholy feelings. He has a knack for effortlessly flowing between live-sounding drums and sharper, digitally shredded ones, making this some sort of cyborg drumfunk. “Dolorous Dick’ead” is the bullit on this EP, it just sets up and tears right through before you’re ready. “Lost and Found” is subtler but slowly pulverizes as well. All four tracks are outstanding though.

Thugwidow: Hard Rave Aesthetic 12″ EP (Western Lore, 2019)

Thugwidow: Hard Rave Aesthetic 12″ EP

Operating on the harder side of the current jungle scene, evoke more of a dystopian atmosphere than his peers. It sounds true to ’90s darkside jungle, but seemingly with a whole lot more trouble fueling its volatile breakbeats and cloudy synths — repressed emotions, conspiracy theories, general malaise. Sometimes the beats are scattered and smudged, delivering the rhythm, but also implying much of it and leaving it up to your own sense of perception. It’s an intense trip down a long dark tunnel, and it’s a fantastic headrush.

Moth Cock: If Beggars Were Horses Wishes Would Ride tape (Hausu Mountain, 2019)

Moth Cock: If Beggars Were Horses Wishes Would Ride tape

Introduced by the robotic voice of Dr. Quinn Medicine Woman declaring the duo to be “so fried you’d swear they just scraped them off the side of the oil tub at Sheetz”, the latest tape from Moth Cock continues their outward expansion. It flows from swaying field mantras to cartoon elephant jazz to mutant techno, bending drones into balloon animals and wringing cryptic incantations out of plastic toys. Like their last tape, it’s still chaotic, but it’s also more hypnotic, and seems to have been produced under deep concentration. The last 2 tracks each stretch out past 12 minutes; “Wishes Would Ride” has a near-steady pulse for a while, then gets hammered by drilling beats and doomy distorted trumpet, and “If Bayonets Were Turnips” is a house-of-mirrors echo chamber head-boggler which goes from a triumphant, crashing march into a heady freak-out.
