New Electronic Releases from Spiny Norman, Nubivore and MieMiedos
Spiny Norman – Siwa (7" Version)“Siwa” locks into a groove almost immediately and rarely lets go. Warm basslines, crisp percussion, and fuzzy guitars move together with an easy sense of momentum, while subtle electronic textures slip in and out of the mix almost unnoticed. The energy comes from the way the track keeps turning over on itself. Small rhythmic shifts, additional layers, and tiny changes in emphasis continually refresh the groove without ever interrupting its flow, making five minutes feel as though they've passed in half the time.That confidence in repetition gives the piece its identity. Spiny Norman draw equally from krautrock's motorik drive, psychedelic funk, and minimal electronic music, allowing those influences to overlap naturally rather than competing for attention. Every layer reinforces the pulse, creating a hypnotic momentum that invites movement as much as close listening. Released as the latest single from the Dutch trio, “Siwa (7" Version)” continues Spiny Norman's exploration of groove-driven psychedelia with a subtle electronic edge. Nubivore – Pomelo“Pomelo” finds its personality in the space between meticulous programming and human instinct. Polyrhythmic percussion skips and crackles across the mix with remarkable precision, yet the track never feels mechanical. Beneath those intricate rhythms sit warm, jazz-inflected chords that soften the edges, creating a constant dialogue between structure and spontaneity. It’s that interplay that gives the music its momentum, with every small rhythmic detail nudging the groove in a slightly different direction.Kim Taylor’s background in jazz piano and electronic engineering is woven naturally into the composition rather than worn as a statement of intent. The production is rich in detail, but nothing feels included simply to demonstrate complexity. Instead, every texture has a purpose, rewarding closer listening without losing its immediate appeal. “Pomelo” appears on Nubivore’s debut EP Afterimage, where jazz harmony, IDM, ambient electronics, and intricate sound design come together in a collection exploring the impressions experiences leave behind. MieMiedos – Between Coordinates“Between Coordinates” is built around the idea that sound is never fixed. Rather than treating samples as finished material, MieMiedos repeatedly breaks them apart, processes them, and reassembles them into entirely new forms. Familiar textures dissolve into something unrecognisable, only to reappear moments later in a different context, giving the track a constant sense of evolution. Every shift feels purposeful, as though the music is continually discovering new versions of itself.That process mirrors the concept behind the piece. Having lived across different regions of China, MieMiedos approaches movement not simply as travel, but as a gradual reshaping of perception, where each new environment leaves its own imprint on the next. The production reflects that same fluidity, allowing ideas to transform rather than settle into predictable patterns. “Between Coordinates” is the title track from MieMiedos’ forthcoming EP, arriving on July 21st, where each composition explores a different response to place, change, and transformation.
