Veelargo :: Sync Phoney EP (Mutoscope)
The understated yet piercing tones transport us back to a period of time when musicians such as Richard Devine, Proem, and Esem cultivated roughened sound textures and blended them with hypnotic rhythms.
Cathode Ray Tube :: Imperfect Vessel EP (Condition Human)
CRT distinctively combines scorched electronics and panoramic imperfections to create a unique blend of powerful soundtrack motifs.
Michael Valentine West :: Multi-Surface Function (Polygon Network)
Crafting enigmatic soundscapes, Michael Valentine West—unsurprisingly also scoring soundtracks for several independent films—delivers seven tracks jam-packed with sophisticated glitch elements, evoking a resemblance to his previous audio compositions but with a greater emphasis.
Broken Chip :: The Quiet Garden (Self Released)
Capturing light sources to create calm atmospheres, the featured compositions are as nostalgic as they are contemporary and offer quiet tidbits for a wonderful diversion.
Fallen :: Whispered Hymns (Neotantra)
Ethereal and otherworldly, Whispered Hymns’ meditative qualities dabble with the psyche on tracks like “Discoloured Rainbows” and “Deep Crystal Lake,” lulling us into the mystic lights of time as they flow through an endless auditory universe.
Duran Duran Duran :: Supernatural Beast City (Woodland Creatures) — exclusive “Calcium” stream
Supernatural Beast City is a potent combination of pummeling drum and bass and fragmented sounds and is a top choice from Duran Duran Duran’s extended catalog.
Pera Sta Ori :: Hix Hax EP (To Pikap)
Pera Sta Ori returns to his roots with rave, breaks, and jungle soundscapes on the four-track EP, Hix Hax, for To Pikap.
Dissolved :: Amber Rooms (Dissolvedamberrooms)
With Amber Rooms, a ten-piece suite recorded earlier in 2024, Dissolved makes another comeback and continues to build on the foundations of melodic and kaleidoscope electronics.
Sinnway :: Nykloud Veil (Self Released)
We’re taken through deserted industrial warehouses via smoldering rhythms and complex sound design structures, which are reminiscent of early Proem and Arovane audio works.
V/A :: Transmission 008 (Imaginary North)
These expertly detailed sonic Polaroids encapsulate the spirit of time, past and present, as though to ease the listener into a thick fog with tranquil audio-visual textures, tones, and drones.
