Ilar (myspace ) has been featured on RC numerous times before. His music always leaves an impression on me, wether it’s his rough and jagged techno or the more contemplative and relaxed vibes. Curious to see who’s behind these ever-changing sound constructions, I decided to ask some (quick) questions. With the freshly released (today [...]
Local gothenburg electronic music aficionado, DJ and producer, Jor-el has cooked up a little something for us all to enjoy this month. His April Mood mix is a little over one hour and contains immersive rhythms, wide soundscapes and fine mixing.
I have been extremely inactive here at Random Circuits for a bit now. Some of it has to do with me being busy with other things (school, work, friends, girlfriend), some of it has to do with me losing a bit of enthusiasm about the whole blogging thing, and finally some of it is because [...]
Oak - LOVESONG [Popgroup, 2007] (d/l)
The picture above is of the awesome case that Oak’s album One is packaged in. It’s made of metal and cotains some nicely designed pictures together with the cd. This is one of the records I purchased when I was in japan. The music can be classified as electronica, pretty [...]
Carl Craig - Throw [Studio !K7, 2008] (d/l)
I’ve liked Carl Craig since the day I first heard him. To see him live yesterday however… well, suffice to say I wasn’t ready for the onslaught. After facing the massive queue to get in, with a weak following of friends (in fact only 1 person went with [...]
I’ve been posting mostly non-4/4 music the last couple of articles. Time to change that. Tonight I’m going to have the pleasure of seeing Carl Craig at the decks, playing at The Eye (nefertiti). This should be a night to remember.
Recommended techno (no downloads, since I’m at work now):

Veterans in the game, the black dog has been working the knobs, keys, sliders and buttons since ‘89. Radio Scarecrow is their latest full length. Fans will be happy to hear that the dog hasn’t made any radical sound switches - we get the cool, calm and [...]
Deceptikon - Ascii ghettoblaster track 2 [Deceptikon industries, 2007] (d/l)
Another week gone by and it’s clubbing time for a lot of people later tonight. Myself I’m going to catch a movie at the cinema before possibly hitting the nightlife. Here’s some quality afternoon blip-hop mashed together by Deceptikon on his Ascii ghettoblaster cd-r mixtape I [...]
Bitstream - Tivoli [Touchin' bass, 2008] (d/l)
Touchin’ bass. Bitstream. The severed EP. Tivoli. Quality bleepage from the brothers Conner. Suitably sinister frosting with crucial mathematic beats and little details with beauty thrown in. Enjoy.
Hello all. I’m back from my 8 day vacation in Tokyo! What a blast it has been, I want to go back promptly. I’ve been to many great cities; New York, London, Barcelona, Rome, Singapore, Dublin, Stockholm, Philadelphia, Taipei, etc, but Tokyo takes the prize. So immense it is mind boggling, so friendly, clean, bustling [...]
Nktar - Ways2go [Outside, 2004] (d/l)
Outside recordings perhaps last release? This label embraced electro, idm and techno and stirred them together in a giant kettle to take the next step in electronic music. Not like it’s that revolutionary, but it does sound extremely good. This release is called Truizm and consists of four borderline tracks, [...]
