Progressive breaks, electro vibes, great flow, head nodding steadily.
Framewerk – Lotus Land
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.
The Operator (2024)
So unexpected, so amazing. Fantastic game and game design. It’s an experience that everyone should see, like movie classics.
Twin Tribes – Pendulum
Classic post-punk goth sound and vibes.
Dva – Piri Piri
This album catapulted to the top of my listening charts of this year, it just has a ridiculously strong hook. It definitely helps that sun coming out more, trees are bursting in leaves, and this is essentially a soundtrack to summer. Kung Fu and Lococo are hymns for a sunny day on a meadow by a lake while having food on the grill and tossing frisbee.
Indie pop is a great genre for this record: it is absolutely pop with a world music spin, but it’s quite a mile from mainstream radio pop. Some songs have this strong cuteness factor because of the singer’s voice, like how The Asteroids Galaxy Tour took us by storm in 2009 with their debut. It also brings me back to the Radiocafé era of Hungary.
Flow (2024)
It was a rather unique and nice journey. Coming out of the cinema we had somewhat different ideas about the setting, but that’s exactly what makes this feel fresh: it’s up for interpretations and metaphors, and it’s interesting to discuss the different ideas.
My Old Ass (2024)
This was so much better than what I had expected. I expected a Friday night semi-dumb rom-com, and what I got was an entertaining and kind coming of age movie. It’s a solid 7/10.
Suburban Architecture – Dancefloor Heritage Volume 2 (Mixed Version)
Liquid drum and bass, like the good old days. The mixed album gives an awesome continuous ride for 76 minutes.
Music by John Williams (2024)
Beautiful documentary, it warmed my heart to see the friendship between Williams and Spielberg. We were humming every single tune, it’s such a nice trip. And it’s not just a journey through cinema history but also my soundtracks of my life, as I grew up with all this.
