Brad Mehldau, Thundercat guest on this jazz/funk record that's modern, playful and exhilarating without losing sight of the groove.

Dark Ambient/Acid Techno/Experimental record by New York City's Nicky Mao. It's like Goth Autechre, if Autechre was a woman. Buy this record.

Australian "post-everything" quintet weaving a rich, dense tapestry of electronics, orchestrals, noise, free jazz and dub through serenity. This one's brought me a lot of peace this year.

Experimental electronic EP that pulls equally from both UK Grime/Techno tradition and the modern American Experimentalism. For fans of: Oneohtrix Point Never, James Ferraro.

Heartbreaking, beautiful electro-acoustic compositions, pianos drifting through pastoral synth textures, yawning cellos, Bliss. Fans of Tim Hecker will adore.
…nessaamara-poshisolation.bandcamp.com/album/manos
Contemporary classical filtered through Angelo Badalamenti's noir menace. Shades of Messiaen, Coltrane, Arvo Part, Bohren & der Club of Gore and Meredith Monk.

Goth electronic experimental folk. Atmospheric, pained, violently feminine. Would make the best horror soundtrack ever.

My second-favorite album of the year. Murky, stilted hip-hop beats pave the way for distorted, obtuse trumpet. New dimensions opening up everywhere. A brilliant return by an old master.
