Nihiloxica is like really dark stomping techno played by a fairly sizeable group of Bugandan percussionists and a synth player from Kampala
The Sounds of Sisso is this bonkers helium-driven thing that reminds me of Shangaan or footwork or something
Both are amazing

Agreed lots of interesting tracks on there, the RA article about them was very good.
This Oxyorange comp is very solid, lots of hybrid bangers (just found it via a Gage mix on NTS): https://oxyorange.bandcamp.com/album/cathexis-2

Great mix from one of my faves:https://soundcloud.com/factmag/fact-mix-653-shalt-may-18
I've been gravitating away from the super noisy end of things, my ears can't take it, but his choice of textures are always almost soothing, while still being distorted and mangled. (one of mine in there too, full disclosure)
Also, new on NON, I like the idea of this (apparently all sounds generated with saxophone initially but processed beyond recognition):https://nonworldwide.bandcamp.com/album/alex-zhang-hungtai-divine-weight

not to direct people away from ilx but i noticed that Patten put together this new message board that seems like it's filled with people who pay attention to this sort of stuff. kind of dissensus-y, but more critical of the Reynolds/Fisher ethos
https://forum.555-5555.org/
― austinb, Friday, 8 June 2018 00:33 (five years ago) link
imo dissensus always was really dry in how they talked about music, any personal reactions were about as deep as “this is a tune”kind of wonder what the new dubstepforum is tbh. probably... dsf

Also, a guy I knew during college released this album today. It's firmly coming from the academic/modern classical world, but some of the percussion and synth pieces are pretty sick. Caroline Shaw is on it too. https://open.spotify.com/album/0vnugwgpCKwNapsyJPLNbe?si=BQuXuySOSomb9oOeuod8zQ
