Hiphopish, glitchy, brainfeederish, ninjatuney. Not foreground music, not dancefloor music. Background thing but not at all elevator music.
Letherette – Where Have All The People Gone?
Honnda – Diamonds in the Microwave
It’s a short thing. But it’s kind of a smash.
Max Cooper – Emergence
According to its premise this is supposed to score the universe with music from before the boom to the infinite future. Beautiful, atmospheric, inspiring.
Clark – The Last Panthers
It is a soundtrack to a tv series, but it is not released as a soundtrack. So this is a Clark album in its own right, but is a soundtrack nonetheless. It is the soundtrack to a snowfall on a gloomy dark dawn. To a ship sailing out into the vast ocean and breaking ice on the go. It is the soundtrack to its sinking and hitting rock bottom. And to the sunshine that glides through the water and reaches the masthead of named ship waving goodbye.
Silk Road Assassins – Reflection Spaces
Ambient electronic sci-fi soundtrack with light bokeh and spaceships. In a city. With rain.
Buttering Trio – Threesome
There is soul.
Josip Klobučar – Bad Taste
Weird-hop, psychedelic glitch, murky bass. This little 4-track EP is wtf brilliant, like Amon Tobin level
amazing IDM, and still completely unique.
Fujiya & Miyagi – EP2
Usual F&M vibe and groove.
Nightkites – Drones
He says “think Burial meets Bonobo”, and that’s about right. Nice, moody, atmospheric, downtempo bass music.
Mark Pritchard – Under the Sun
This. Is. Beautiful. Intimate, soothing, calm, enchanting. And all that without the slightest trace of being cheesy, wearing any fluff or trying to be over the top mainstream chillout. Cannot help to replay right away. This is a gem.
