Soothing glitchy ambient. Mostly with autotune vocals (amazingly I find it comforting here, while I usually hate it), sometimes with bits of chiptune sounds.
7038634357 – Waterfall Horizon
Mammo – General Patterns
Ambient, dub techno, IDM.
Felix K – Berlin
I find it surprising to see “drum and bass” as the main call sign for this music on its Bandcamp page (based on self-tagging and quoted reviews). I would have never used that genre here. If I’m looking for one word in that area then rather dubstep, or I’d rather say broken beat rhythmic noise with a techno aesthetic. Although, maybe the latter is just one way to elaborate what dubstep is.
Biosphere – The Way of Time
This is an amazingly good ambient record. I haven’t been so enthusiastic about a piece of ambient release for a long time. Maybe it’s because in the age of “everyone’s a musician” and “AI generated shit”, it’s so easy to flood the web with cheap drones and low tempo loops and slap ambient on it. Then something like the Etna Sessions, the HYbr:ID series, or this album comes along, and there’s no explanations needed, I instantly feel the difference a real artist and craftsman of ambient music makes.
The Black Dog – Sleep Deprivation
Drone ambient for focus or sleep.
Night in Athens – Wasted Reflektions
Recently I wrote “this is cold wave“. So this is one as well. And it’s not the post-punk kind but dark and industrial. This is a lot more EBM than goth.
Ductape – Labirent
Darkwave post-punk. The track King is such a hook.
Linea Aspera – Linea Aspera
Darkwave, dance music for goths.
Kalte Nacht – Kalte Nacht
Cold wave post-punk.
Give My Remains to Broadway – My Will Is Not My Own
Dark wave goth with all the right notes, classic sound.
