Favorite Releases from August 2024
August may often be a quieter month in the music industry, with many on vacation and the summer festival season in full swing. Still, this year brought some truly remarkable releases for those who kept their ears tuned.
From Katatonic Silentio's exploration of experimental dub and deep techno on her "Axis of Light" EP to RDS's impressive debut album "E-mutations," the month was anything but quiet. Italian producer, Pianeti Sintetici's organic polyrhythms on Qeone and Huerco S's deep house under his Loidis moniker both, provided fresh takes on familiar genres. Reeko's intricate drum & bass on "Umrah" marked a strong return to Samurai Music, while London-based Oscilla Sound introduced their inaugural compilation, "Liminal," featuring works from eight talented producers.
Aedi Records celebrated another full moon with "Infra," a powerful four-track deep techno compilation, while Inhmost on Tonight’s Dream Records explored the beauty of ambient and lush breaks. Markus Guentner, joined by friends and fellow producers, crafted a cinematic and drone-infused album titled "Kontrapunkt" on A Strangely Isolated Place. Finally, Sungate's release of Eddie Hale's "Endless Pursuit" EP blurred the lines between techno and electro, rounding out August's "not so slow" month.
