Delicate by nature and transformative throughout—this album in its entirety massages thoughts and creates free space for imagination to gracefully calm.

Whatever The Weather :: Whatever The Weather (Ghostly International)
The self-titled debut under the latest alias is poetic and melodic, as Loraine James explores vocal practices drenched in harmonic environments and everlasting reverb chambers.
Esoteric Abstraction :: Technical Swamp EP (Point Source Electronic Arts)
For those familiar with the PSA collective will immediately feel right at home with Technical Swamp—however, what delves further is the essence of dub and broken beat influences in this one.
Brainwaltzera :: ITSAME (FILM)
Having grown up with RDJ on my doorstep, this is indeed striking a welcoming nerve buried within my psyche.
Subp Yao :: Flana (YUKU)
Subp Yao demonstrates initiative in expressing after party vibes that are clean in structure yet posses the oozing of sun-kissed habitats.
V/A :: (X4)
A full spectrum of funky, sketchy, moody, harmonious melodics and acidic breaks, but above all—fun!
Chantal Passamonte / Mira Calix (1970-2022) :: A Remembrance
It is fair to say the frequency in which Chantal’s selflessness and kindness always shone was palpable leaving everlasting impressions on friends to fans and artists alike. A true loss to the community in many spaces, who will undoubtedly be remembered for their joyous passion, curious enthusiasm and kind nature.
μ-Ziq :: Goodbye EP (Planet Mu)
Certain to please old and new fans alike, this feels like an essential μ-Ziq release that might even feel momentarily understated with the surrounding schedule.
V/A :: Sounds from the Iranian Ultraverse (Shaytoon)
A fantastic release that has highlighted to me the importance of exploring unfamiliar territories as you may just never know what you are missing out on.
