  1. "/", Second Woman

You've heard of the "Shepard Tone", right? That's a sound design trick where a sound appears to continuously increase in pitch without ever retreating back down to give itself space. There's a variant of that for endlessly-speeding-up drum beats called a "Risset Rhythm".

This song, from a Telafon Tel Aviv/Belong collaboration, uses the Risset trick plus some seriously weird production to make a dreamy, alien, not-quite-danceable dance track.

  1. "8888 + ParipiDestroyer + POLYS", Freaky Tweaky

This is a fun, satisfying acid jam on three small devices by different small-batch designers in Japan. All three are little handheld things based on trim pots and breadboard buttons, sized like business cards and Altoids tins; one is a gorgeous reproduction of the 808, another a gorgeous reproduction of the 303, and the third an odd Roland J8-like prototype. The Pocket Operator is reborn

  1. "Spit", Kittie

I love metal but I don't think I am a very sophisticated listener of it. I struggle with the squawky vocals and the occasional long samey stretches. Kittie delights me by bringing aggressive variety to their presentation, especially in this one old, unusually compact track where they seem to be trying to speedrun as many metal genres as they can in two minutes. It rapidly switches registers from death-metal screams to intelligible English whispers as if manically tracking mood swings. You think dick is the answer but it's not

  1. "extinct bird gathering", Luna SC

From this musician's "tmod" series of songs performed live on a wall-sized modular synthesizer rack, this is a fresh-feeling electronic composition with gorgeous sound design. Crunchy beats and warm metallic everything else. I'm not going to say this is dance music exactly but it is definitely music to bob your head to

  1. "greim93", AGF/poemproducer

AGF does VJing, poetry, noise music and post-Soviet eastern European ansoc feminist theory (I think I described that right). This is a immaculately sculpted noise collage wherein hisses and thumps stalk you through a fog of microsounds, constantly threatening to congeal into a beat but then instead pulling back just outside the edge of your perception.

  1. "【Moog DFAM Jam】", Sakai Meno

Noisy, scrungly fast industrial beats on some modular equipment. There's a slower, spread-out elbow-room version of this track on the same YouTube channel but I like this compact 2-minute version. It sounds very determined.

  1. "wierdness", recordingtruck

I love noise! I really love noise!! The Bastl Kastle is a chaotic "modular" system with two of Atmel's tiniest, weakest chips in each unit, using two AA batteries and little wires instead of plug cables. All it does is scream. This musician has cross-wired three Kastles to make a wonderfully amusical sequence of moaning bleeps interrupting each other. It has its own internal machine logic. Your human brain can't make sense of it, don't try. Just feel it.
