Jigsawtooth vinyl

Producer Henrik Kroz, who ridden under the name Miwon for the best part of his career, was an influential figure in the IDM scene of the 2000's. Although he's released a whole heap of material under the monikers of Cushion Caroms and Feedbackorchester since then, the artist's Miwon alias was last seen in a distant 2008. He's back now with a new album, Jigsawtooth, on Oakland's legendary N5MD label, famous for pioneering the Mini-Disc format back in the days. Thankfully, almost ten years of silence from Miwon haven't in any way changed the man's skills behind board; in fact, this sounds like it could be his most accomplished work yet. Through nine tracks, the artist explores all the possible angles of the enlarged IDM domain, diving deep into some pseudo house through tunes like the sublime "Spiderman", ducking out with warm glitches of lo-fi though "Pineda", and landing one warm and delicate planes such as with "Cool Your Jets". Magnetic and alluring.
