ILUITEQ :: Reflections Revisited (n5MD)
The feeling is that these productions live on their own life, but that they travel in parallel with the original tracks.
quickly, quickly :: Easy Listening EP (Ghostly International)
A fine EP of atmospheric psych-pop inflected with jazz, soul and other styles, combining synths, propulsive drums and a variety of other instrumentation with gauzy vocals and wistful melodies.
Saroos :: Turtle Roll (Alien Transistor)
To put the German band Saroos on the listening map, one only has to mention a couple of names: the Notwist and Morr Music.
Khotin :: Release Spirit (Ghostly International)
Ambient sounds, presets stolen from the Casio SK-1, and bright and nostalgic melodies brushed over malleable beats, make up fleeting and childlike slides. Light, indeed, very light.
Martyna Basta :: Slowly Forgetting, Barely Remembering (Warm Winters Ltd.)
A dynamic effort from a standout artist in Eastern Europe’s burgeoning ambient-experimental music scene.
Proc Friskal :: “Pic Of U” single (Hyperdub) — from forthcoming Rt Hon EP
