The album title of this duet of paired longform tracks from Inquiri and bvdub is perfect for the Past Inside the Present label. What is our past, but a life in setting suns? And what is our present but the hope for more sunsets and sunrises.

Shrimpnose :: The World Pushed Against You (Nettwerk)
The World Pushed Against You, is a fecund fusion of sounds ready to ignite febrile synapses inside the brain in an album that is easy to stay glued to from start to finish.
John Cage / Aaron Dilloway :: Rozart Mix (Hanson)
Radio and musique concrète go together like bread and butter. As a medium, radio is the perfect platform for playing tape that has been spliced, diced, smothered, covered, layered, reordered, disordered, composed, decomposed and recomposed. That’s what has happened here with a new version of a mid-sixties John Cage composition, Rozart Mix.
bvdub | Brock Van Wey :: In Iron Houses (EC Underground)
Whether it’s the soulful nature of his vocal samples, or the lush and downtempo beats that give it all a skeleton to cascade off of, or the exquisite synthetic textures throughout, Bvdub has found his vein of gold and continues to mine it without relent.
Poppy H :: Wadham Lodge (Self Released)
Snippets from the past carry distinct audio aromas, and varying balances of bitter, sweet and bold, here interfused with new touches. On Wadham Lodge, many moods have been coalesced, balanced and optimized to bring out nuanced sonic flavors.
Heiko Maile + Julian Demarre :: Neostalgia (Bureau B)
From start to finish Neostalgia offers an elegant and absorbing listen. It may have taken four years to blend and ferment as other projects for both artists came to the fore, but that extra time spent on the hard drive before being passed off to listeners has made it both sweet and subtle.
C. Spencer Yeh :: The RCA Mark II (Primary Information) — 2017 flashback
Here Yeh reaches out to touch the synthesizer, approaches it as a kind of ancestral relic for those of us who have succumbed to the love of these machines. Here it is fetishized, stroked, recorded with reverence, only later to be dissected, spliced, and decomposed into its own archival document.
