Loops in Time

Elizabeth Alker offers up a powerful mix of new experimental tracks including bare, bold metal and relentless, vibrant electronica from the likes of Ben Frost and Squarepusher.

Ready yourselves for sounds on the grand scale as Elizabeth Alker brings a powerful mix of new ambient and experimental tracks that have the volume, exuberance and attack to stand proudly out from the crowd. Ben Frost returns from scoring film and TV shows with his first solo studio album in six years, Scope Neglect, populated by seething scorched-earth textures stripped down to a raw metal core. Created in and around the loops of life in lockdown, meanwhile, Dostro Time by Squarepusher is an exhilarating, unabashed celebration of the energy of electronic music at its most intoxicating. Plus, Elizabeth considers the ongoing influence of Jon Hassell鈥檚 work on contemporary experimental music today with a trip back to the trumpeter-composer's wildly ambitious 1987 album The Surgeon Of The Nightsky Restores Dead Things By The Power Of Sound, reissued this year.
