This extraordinary electronic music artist has one of the best live shows ever. He uses a set of stacked cubes projected onto with a laser show which moves, morphs and transform as the music evolves. He will soon be playing at the Delaware Pavilion in East Sussex. Check it out, if you can.

I’ve seen Sydney-based electronic-pop producer Elizabeth Rose performing in Melbourne lately and have been captivated by her stunning performance. After bursting onto the scene last year, she’s experienced a meteoric rise, played tons of festivals, collaborated with UK producer legend Sinden, remixed Flight Facilities, and supported New York’s amazing Chairlift.

I was introduced to the musician Dimitri Grimm by drummer Julian Sartorius. Both Dimlite and myself perform live with Sartorius as the only other musician on stage. I was knocked out by his music, and he is now one of the electronic musicians I most admire. He delivered a brilliant re-interpretation of The Hunting Owl, one of the songs on No Compass Will Find Home (he called it a Re-hunt).

Ry Legit is one of those artists that changes the course of a genre. He produces some of the heaviest dubstep to date, while keeping it audible. His music has a seemingly macabre aesthetic and is perfect for fans of electronic and metal music.

Jozz Scott makes crazy electronic music. I wouldn’t even know what genre it is classified under. A strange yet wonderful mix of electronic, hip hop and wonky video game beats, the music is very layered, often taking you on some very unexpected turns. Jozz and I decided to do a little animation for one of his songs off his latest album, Hyperglyphs. We bounced some ideas around that best encapsulated the tracks, and a rough storyline emerged for Zooper Dooper. You can hear more of Jozz Scott’s album from The Frequency Lab.

We love jelly as much as we love music, and now it appears we can have both in one. According to French designers Raphaël Pluvinage and Marianne Cauvard: ‘Noisy jelly is a game where the player has to cook and shape his own musical material, based on coloured jelly’. Somebody will have to make sure that these yummy instruments don’t get gobbled up before the music is done.

Plaster is an electronic music project that was born in Rome in 2008 by Gianclaudio Hashem Moniri and Giuseppe Carlini. Their music is characterized by a dark attitude, which mixes ambient music, deep beats and sharp noises. There have been various collaborations, mostly with video makers such as Lasal, David Terranova and Emanuele [Tzpx] Foti, which gave life to a series of live performances and studio works.

Amon Tobin has been making forward thinking electronic music for over fifteen years. His latest effort, ISAM, which you can stream in its entirely, is unlike anything I’ve ever heard before. He’s bringing his album on tour with a stage show that matches the intensity of the album. As my friend Ryan said after the show, ‘that was important’.

Amon Tobin is the maestro of surreal electronic music. I always wanted to make a video for one of his songs, so when I had the chance to start this project, I was more than inspired. Instead of using computer generated effects, I did everything by hand. All the effects and images on this video were shot in studio.

I’ve been digging Caribou’s latest album Swim a lot lately. It’s full of easy beats and cruisy vocals, mixed with mathematically driven instrumentals. This is Jamelia, one of my favourite tracks.

British producer Bibio (aka Stephen James Wilkinson) has just released his sixth album, Mind Bokeh, which is out now on Warp through Inertia in Australia. We caught up with him for a chat.

A few of your album titles, such as Vignetting The Compost and your latest release, Mind Bokeh, refer to effects in photography. How would you describe the relationship between photography and the music you make?
‘In my head, I make connections between the various sensory worlds. When I tweak the timbre of instruments, I often think of adding more yellow or more red, and so on. Sometimes it’s texture. Like, I might think to make a guitar track sound like sand or the bark of oak. Other times, I make links between cooking and production.

‘We are sensuous beings, with several different ways of sensing the world. All those senses can be considered separate, like smell, touch, sight. But they all go to make us what we are, so from an artistic point of view, they can be linked. The links I make between sensory worlds may not be scientific. Sometimes they are, but in art, there are no rules. So it follows that my love for light and sound are connected in my love for recording and photography’.

Were there specific photographers you were looking at while working on your latest album, Mind Bokeh?
‘Not really. There’s a hell of a lot of talent on Flickr. I could spend hours browsing through that site. Sometimes things catch my eye on there, like diamonds in the rough. I guess the most powerful photographs are ones with a palpable mood or atmosphere. They don’t have to be bling and they don’t have to be lo-fi.

‘Photography can be like poetry in that the simplest presentation of something can lead to something more than the sum of its parts’.

How did you come up with the concept for the artwork?
‘After I thought of the title for the album, I had various ideas which involved my head full of ‘bokeh’. I tried various things with layering medium format film negatives, and so on. But the outcome wasn’t quite there.

‘Then I remembered playing around with this mirror that my girlfriend made in the shape of my head. I was capturing it on video and liked the way the mirror was in focus but the image in the mirror was out of focus, or blurred. In other words, ‘bokeh’ inside my head.

‘My girlfriend cut me out another mirror of my profile that was more refined and up to date (with my haircut at the time), and after some experimenting with fairy lights, I ended up with a shot of the mirror on my living room wall reflecting fairy lights, which were hanging on a black cloth the other side of the living room.

‘The mirror and wall are sharply in focus, but due to the shallow depth of field caused by the type of lens and setting I used, the fairy lights are out of focus and appear in the mirror as bokeh highlights. So the front cover is one single photograph: no photoshop trickery going on there. It ended up coming out so perfect that it almost looks computer generated, but it’s not.

‘I used the same technique for the sampler video I did before the release date, but obviously in that there is movement. I achieved this by hanging the mirror on a thread and spinning it so it periodically reflects the out of focus fairy lights’.

Which electronic musicians are inspiring you at the moment?
‘Hudson Mohawke and Chris Clark’.

With buzzing, loud sentiments of big beats and velvet-like compositions, Mr. Moustache, a 20 year-old disco and house producer from the Czech Republic, presents the core medium of electronic music with his debut EP, Female. As obscure as his name is, the Louis La Roche-inspired producer brings a memorable first impression on tracks like Big Tasty and Female, which incorporate Warp-like synths overdubbed with cut-and-paste vocals reminiscent of Crystal Castles.

Danish duo Syntaks‘ remix of Pale Sketcher’s Can I Go Now (Gone Version) employs a ‘double-time rhythm and a cloud of shoegazey guitars to bring the track to new heights’. We think it’s red hot. And it’s off the always hip Ghostly International label.

Norwegian electro-pioneers Röyksopp have recently released Senior, the counterpart to last year’s brilliant Junior. More introspective and freeform than its poppier partner, and fully instrumental, Svein Berge and Torbjorn Brundtland recorded Senior at the same time as Junior and it finds Royksopp in musical voice. Again!

Prolific electronic music producer Christopher Willits has produced twenty albums in ten years — both solo and in collaboration with artists such as Ryuichi Sakamoto on 2008′s Ocean Fire. Tiger Flower Circle Sun is his second release for Ghostly International and is his most technologically complex album yet, ‘drifting skyward in a swell of ambient hums and subtle polyrhythms’.

Jenny Graf (Ex-Bride of No No guitarist and one half of noise duo Metalux) is set to release her first solo record via Wachsender Prozess out of Germany as well as distributed by Graf herself. Influenced by ragas, ’70s synth-prog, and American primitivism, Graf’s latest iteration of structure-free sample-and-electronics-driven meditation remains as non-combative as ever, but not unchallenging, increasingly in-tune with the spiritual and intellectual revival that’s occurring.
