Fizzarum: How Nature Works (Digital)
Fizzarum Long-time Fizzarum obsessive Lab Beat is flattered to supply you all with digital downloads of some selected Fizzarum beauties, including re-released tracks like Prizm (Domino) and Tond 3 (Textile Records), Fusing pastoral, Russian folk-inspired melody with clicky, glitchy bits and lush ambience, Fizzarum are better listening than Autechre and at least as good as Murcof.

 

Actionfist: Fisticuffs
Actionfist & Jack Blood managed to be the principal inspiration behind more glitchy electronica than they are aware of. Highly dynamic, unpredictable and beautifully produced, Actionfist's Fisticuffs comprises some cult classics. More recently, Actionfist's music is also to be found in this animation, which can be viewed from your internet-ready mobile phone.

 

Rose Specs: Glitch Style Forays
Rose Specs Traversing realms of glitchy electronica and hop with a jazzy lean, Glitch Style Forays is infused with a rosy warmth while retaining a penetrating quality. Its like fine wine, from a laboratory. Influences include Flanger, Burnt Freidman, Atom Heart, Herbie Hancock, The Necks, Triosk, Prefuse 73, Freeform, Andrew Pekler and Danieto.

 
Fascinating Action by Master Eveleigh

HipGnosis is Lab Beat's first yankee signee, formerly based out of Chicago. With his deliciously clinical, wonky, bassy instrumental 'Scientific Illuminism (Is For Sissies)' HipGnosis embarks in a different direction, more usually working with remarkable vocalists.

Fascinating Action by Master Eveleigh

Master Eveleigh is the multi-talented philosopher king of Lab Beat and writer of this sentence. Beginning his musical experimentation with the drum kit, before deciding computers were the thing, eventually developing a favorably distinct sound, a result of learning young in a backward fashion and with an obsessive disposition.
