Mathias Villard :: Past Radiance (Affin)
Mathias Villard is a very promising sound artist and Past Radiance can easily figure among my top favorite albums for this year. Exquisite, wistful, cinematic, alluring and emotionally transportive. For fans of Alessandro Cortini, Bvdub, Loscil, Markus Fjellström and Terence Hannum. Once more, Affin proves to be in the first league concerning modern-day ambient-lush drone music.
Joachim Spieth :: Vestige (Affin)
Vestige is all about tracing paths, the journeys of getting to where we are, building upon all the past experiences that contributed to our arrival.
Markus Guentner :: On Brutal Soil, We Grow (Affin)
An experience that trains the ear for duration, for the quality of detail, for the value of waiting. In its harshest ground, On Brutal Soil, We Grow leaves a clear mark: proof that fragility, handled with precision, can become structure.
Joachim Spieth :: Blended (Affin)
Joachim Spieth’s Blended is a slow-burn study in restraint, where cavernous low-end, suspended atmospheres, and negative space converge into a deeply immersive, late-night listening experience.
Igloo Magazine :: Best of 2025
Across 2025, hundreds of releases surfaced, with December granted space to settle. From that sweep emerged a carefully shaped collection of favorites, each paired with links to Igloo reviews and release pages. Arrangement follows artist names in alphabetical order, while a snapshot of tracks lives on our Soundcloud playlist, joined by random artwork highlights. No crowns, no rankings, no runners-up—only records that resonated.
Guentner Spieth :: Conversion (Affin)
Markus Guentner and Joachim Spieth reunite for Conversion, their second collaboration on Affin, blending ambient expanses with dub-driven detail through a contemporary lens. Minimalist yet immersive, the album balances rhythmic depth and atmospheric stillness, reflecting the artists’ shared roots in early ambient, dub, and deep techno while continuing their distinctive sonic evolution.
zakè | Spieth | Guentner :: Arcadia (Affin)
If you’re into sonic continuums and slowly evolving, reflective soundscapes, there’s no doubt that Arcadia will satisfy your need for emotional escapism and contemplative journeys.
Markus Guentner :: Black Dahlia (Affin)
Black Dahlia is a relentless sonic departure and nuanced droning record of ominous, ecstatic and sublime fractures that will certainly appear among best albums of the year for lovers of adventurous music with ascending spiritual motifs.
Joachim Spieth :: Tides (Affin)
The entire album has a cool, lush beauty to it, rewarding the listener at any time of day or night with a sonic excursion to other lands.
Joachim Spieth :: Reshape (Affin)
Reshape is a collection of remixed tracks forming an engaging and soothing collection of works. With sources taken from various releases over the last 15 years.
