"On the cover: Seefeel: The veteran guitar and electronics project -- the first guitar band signed to Warp records -- forged their reputation in the '90s by bridging nascent shoegaze and post-rock worlds with ambient techno and what became known as IDM. Now a trio of founding members Mark Clifford and Sarah Peacock with Shigeru 'DJ Scotch Egg' Ishihara, they are preparing to release Sol.Hz, their first album of new material in 15 years. By Abi Bliss. Inside: Asher Gamedze: The Cape Town based drummer, bandcleader, educator and activist released A Semblance Of Return, his first for Northern Spy, with his new ensemble named A Semblance. By Francis Gooding; Ibrahim Alfa Jr: With a prolific career in the late '90s stalled by legal woes, the experimental techno producer returned to the fold in the mid-2010s. This year he'll release new material on LA producer Brian Foote's FO label. By Steph Kretowicz; Emilie Skrijelj and Tom Malmendier: The drums, accordian and electronics/turntable duo have racked up a diverse range of collaborators from Otomo Yoshihide and Fred Frith to Mike Ladd, as showcased on the catalogue of their eux sæm label. By Daryl Worthington; Magic Tuber Stringband: Durham, North Carolina based duo Evan Morgan and Courteney Werner formed Magic Tuber Stringband to combine Appalachian folk song-form with contemporary experimentalism. Their new album Heavy Water will be out on Thrill Jockey this May."
