Various Artists: ‘2025: UK Grassroots Electronic Music’ Double CD
This month’s Reader Offer is an exclusive album showcasing tracks from 30 artists currently mining the rich seam at the coalface of UK electronic sound. We’ve called it ‘2025: UK Grassroots Electronic Music’, which is a does-what-it-says-on-the-tin kind of title for an extraordinary panoramic snapshot of an endlessly exciting and vital scene.
‘2025: UK Grassroots Electronic Music’ clocks in at nearly three hours. But beware! It’s a portal to a multiverse of sound that could easily swallow up your entire year. Prepare for a trip that takes you from familiar names like Warrington-Runcorn New Town Development Plan, Ian Boddy and Polypores, to new projects from the likes of Adi Newton, Jack Dangers and Adrian Flanagan. There’s cool minimal electronica, machine-driven post-punk, freeform radiophonic psychedelia, slick avant-lounge, cinematic paranoid pop, and most points in between.
This unique compilation is a glorious sonic explosion and we guarantee it’s going to get your year off to the best possible start. Welcome to 2025.
