Yesterday we presented the preferences of our readers from last year, now this is a list of 20 albums from 2019 that made an impression on us.

We have three pure electro albums from E.R.P., Jeremiah R. and Plant43 and the new electro-synthy album of veteran David Carretta, his first solo album for ten years. On the darker side of the synth palette we have two EBM/synth-pop albums from Boy Harsher and Years Of Denial, the debut album of Kris Baha, the third album of Greek producer June, a new one from Jason Letkiewicz aka Steve Summers under his new moniker Opposing Currents and two more industrial albums from Autumns and Colombian Filmmaker.

Jeremiah R – Tales from the Dark Reef [DW002]

September 16, 2019September 16, 2019 hipodromealbum, distant wave records, electro, house, jeremiah r.Leave a comment

Long before the electro revival sent producers scurrying into the studio to create their own Drexciya-inspired jams, Jeremiah R was ploughing his own intergalactic furrow for labels including Tabernacle, BAKK and Voodoo Gold. As this fine mini-album shows, he remains one of the most consistent electro producers in the business. The genius of “Tales From The Dark Reef” lies in the long-serving producer’s ability to craft shimmering, sci-fi focused electronic music that takes the aesthetic appeal of the best electro records – the intergalactic aural textures, sci-fi intent, skittish rhythms and futuristic synthesizer sounds – and applies them to a variety of Detroit and Chicago-influenced grooves and soundscapes.

Jeremiah R – Echoes From The Dark Ocean [DW001]

April 16, 2016September 16, 2019 hipodromedetroit, distant records, distant wave records, electro, jeremiah r.Leave a comment

Jeremiah R has been responsible for some of the finest electro to be released over the past few years. Here he launches the Distant Wave label with eight more chunks of atmospheric, far-sighted futurism. As usual, he flits between ambient style interludes and more expansive dancefloor fare. In the latter category you’ll find the Motor City techno futurism of “Bermuda Triangle”, the glistening IDM loveliness of “Streaming To Arcadia”, the Larry Heard-in-space deepness of “Cruiser”, and the Drexciyan throb of “JAR (Jamming Avoidance Response)”. All are, naturally, both luscious and pleasingly melodious, whilst retaining an intergalactic sense of atmosphere.
