Wow, this is truly epic. Space travel through the galaxy.
Throwing Shade – Fate Xclusive
Previous Throwing Shade materials were not convincing for me, indeed I think they were crap. But this new one locked gaze with me and kept my glimpse until the end of its four tracks. Slow electronic music with some nice atmosphere. Could be the little sister of Dark Sky.
Crazy P – Walk Dance Talk Sing
A totally usual and casual nu-jazz album, like it’s 2004, the high times of Dzihan & Kamien, Jazzanova, Herbert et al. And !K7 still lives this era by releasing such a record in 2015.
Lakker – Tundra
Deep, melodic, thumping. An exquisite journey into your subconscious, through dark places and dreams.
Amon Tobin – Dark Jovian
I added this one to my playlist a few days ago and since then I haven’t listened to anything else just keep hitting replay. A captivating experience of deep space ambient, groaning noises and ethereal voices.
Amon Tobin himself has some things to add:
“I made these tracks a year or two ago after binge-watching space exploration films. People have, from time to time, described things I’ve done as “scores for imaginary movies,” which has always irritated me, but on this occasion it’s sort of true.
Even so, what I was really trying to do was to interpret a sense of scale, like moving towards impossibly giant objects until they occupy your whole field of vision, planets turning, or even how it can feel just looking up at night.”
Flako – Twelve O’Clock Shadow
So soft, so caring, embracing, music to be hold by.
Andrea Parker – Kiss My Arp
The other day Rdio was slow on the stream and nowadays these are the moments when I dig up some old favorite records to listen to. So this is how I revisited Parker’s debut long player on Mo Wax. I so much love everything about it and has this deep personal touch that I feel with a select few of albums, like Grooverider’s Mysteries Of Funk for example.
Kiss My Arp is also a stunningly melodic experience. I have Andrea Parker in my mind as the queen of this dry, lean, cold break electro, and probably that’s adequate for many of her compositions. But Kiss My Arp is definitely something much better filled with life and perfectly matches the late-90′s line-up of Mo Wax with its trip-hop sounds and moods.
Martin L. Gore – MG
It’s hard to say wether this album is something or not, either concerning genre or quality. There is a hint of DM meets Twin Peaks ambient mood, tense beat with synth, soundtrack atmosphere, deep pumping, and all else. This is rather like a personal collection of stuff laying around and being collected for some time I guess.
Crisopa – A Lucid Dream Kit
Beautiful ambient soundscapes, triphopish tempo and grain, IDM electronics.
Braids – Deep In The Iris
Slow to mid tempo music, glitchy electronic, girl sings, melancholic. I rarely listen to music like this nowadays but Khoiba just reoccured to me right now.
