If the soul of wit is brevity, then the best word to describe Iotide would be "intense." Maybe we’re being a bit too reductive, but mysterious Brooklyn project Iotide almost sounds like an ideal synthesis of two IDM giants: Boards of Canada and Flying Lotus. With the ominous, memory-inducing tendencies of the former, and the capricious, yet groovy passages of the latter, the music explores places that feel invigoratingly novel. You won’t forget it anytime soon. – Jack McGovern
