PAN M 360 / TOP 100 : Peder Mannerfelt – The Benefits of Living in a Hole

Over the past few weeks, our most active record reviewers have had the task of choosing their 5 favorite recordings of 2023, and here they are. This selection is unique and quite different of all you can find on the web or through traditional medias.

The most prolific producer of contemporary techno releases —again— a new album on the high-end London label, Voam. Peder Mannerfelt oscillates on compositions where sounds are unstructured, decomposed, passed and ironed under filters and other effects, without ever losing the thread of associating them with rapid and syncopated rhythms. Discerning ears will perfectly hear the in-depth work and sharp finesse of each sound modulation to obtain these 4 exceptional titles. Artists like Pariah, Blawan, and Rhyw develop an intellectualizing approach to electro-techno to push it beyond its limits and make it excel as music of thoughtful, high-quality composition. Peder Mannerfelt and Voam are sure values!
