enter electronic underground

Hello sputnikdotcom. Been a while. Time to log another weird progression of my musical taste in the last year and thus we enter the world of electronic music. curious to know what "underground" electronic sputnik enjoys (if any). list is 10 electronic artists and their recent releases i think people should be chatting about. weirder the better.

Objekt #4

Another banging release by the big man and possibly his best yet. Two tracks that keep to his distinguished sound, this time stepping into lighter territory but still in the inevitable objekt fashion.

Nordic Flora Series Pt. 3: Gore-Tex City

Probably my favourite album of the year so far. Unique and interesting features (including brilliant spoken word poetry by Chloe Wise) that complement some very direct but lush techno atmospheres.
3Avalon Emerson
Whities 006

Includes one of my favourite experimental club tracks "The Frontier" - a powerful and poignant piece of bottom-heavy glitchy techno
4Special Request
Stairfoot Lane Bunker

Forceful EP that traverses through electro, techno, industrial while keeping to the alias' speciality for breaks.
5 Willow
Workshop 23

Rising star and favourite DJ at the moment. Her first solo EP establishes her off-kilter approach to house with plenty of deep atmosphere + tasteful semi-muffled vocal samples. Be sure to check out 'Feel Me' as well, track of the decade.
6Harvey Sutherland and Bermuda
Expectations

A terrific set of nu-disco tracks by the Aussie following the successful debut single "Priestess/Bravado" under the new moniker for the band. For fans of Todd Terje/Daft Punk...
7Prince Of Denmark
Live at Planet Uterus

Strongest in the game right now? Prince of Denmark/Traumprinz/DJ Metatron continues to hit the sweet spot with their minimal approach to Tech/House. The sheer volume of output and consistency in quality is staggering.

Rest of the Giegling label crew shouldn't be ignored either. Leafar Legov producing great downtempo, Sa Pa with the dub techno and Vril always offering interesting productions.
8A Made Up Sound
A Made Up Sound (2009-2016)

Wonderful collection of unorthodox club tracks that sound as good in your living room as I'd expect in the club. Not a surprise he's inspired some of the best producers/DJs around.
9Ross From Friends
You'll Understand

Bit sceptical about all this "lo-fi house" business - but their live show is a very captivating watch. Clearly has a lot of talent and I'd put him above Mall Grab, DJ Seinfeld, DJ Windows XP, DJ Whatever and the lot trending
10Tessela
Hackney Parrot

cba to make the overmono artist but their new EP is worth checking out. Tessela (+ Truss) continue to be big innovators in the club music scene.
11Minor Science
Whities 008

BONUS: Favourite single of last year. Jamie xx had 'Naturally Spineless' on rotation in his shows and those heavy bass rumblings have kept with me ever since. The guy also happens to be a writer for RA.

Has a track on the upcoming Whities that will be sure to blow people's minds.
