Newcomer Peter Seligman drops some adventurous leftfield techno sounds on Diffraction Subs his first EP for Auralism and follow-up to his track Bingo Fleece that appeared on this summer's Primaveral Pt.2 compilation. Seligman explores exciting new sound frontiers on his latest that add to Auralism's already broad sonic palette.

On See Saw Slow a punchy elastic beat is reminiscent of Optimo's retro industrial leanings but with buzzing blips exploding from the mids that insistently remind you this is a modern techno track.

Bassems creates an atmospheric interlude into rich ambient tones and warm, blanketing textures that recall the best of serious experimental pioneers like Steve Reich, Experimental Audio Research, and Throbbing Gristle.

Spinout is propelled by a shambling beat and a pinch of electro-house sass laying an off-kilter funk foundation for the groove. This groove becomes the perfect set-up for a memorably wonky melodic before the track breaks down into some abstract mode techno that should catch the attention of Perlon fans.

Petrolum Float ventures to the farthest fringes of the micro-verse once explored by the Warp Records catalog. Here is as a heady infusion of the subtlest moments of Autechre's seminal LP Amber and the purest clarion sounds of the San Francisco techno scene co-mingling and creating something wholly unique.

Still is a real speaker freaking mindbender popping and sizzling with rabid intensity. Although deep down below those zips and pings there is a molten techno core that helps to control some of the sonic chaos as well as creating fresh new sound possibilities in the process.

Jason Short's remix of Petrolum delivers a stunningly gorgeous techno mashup that both uplifts the soul and drives the body with a gentle pulsing beat and teasing hints of achingly lush melodies for a quintessential late night floor filler.
