Matti Bye :: Capri Clouds (Denovali)
Matti Bye explores the intrinsic musicality of cinema and inner moving images within a captivating and distinctive style where relaxing lounge orientation meets complex modern jazz interferences; the whole thing connected to densely textured ambient excursions.
Orphax & Kenneth Kirschner :: Movement (Moving Furniture)

Matmos :: Return to Archive (Smithsonian Folkways Recordings)
Matmos are masters of the electronic concept album, and I was delighted that the archive in question is the plethora of “sound” albums released by the maverick founder of Folkways, Moses Asch. Beyond the concept, these glitchy, rhythmic, noisy, textural pieces are a joy to listen to and behold.
Alessandro Ragazzo :: La deviazione del profilo (Stochastic Resonance)

Generic Meds :: Subnautics Vol.1 EP (Self Released)
In the twelve minutes that make up this three track EP, Generic Meds discovers world sounds, deep ambient downtempo, and chilled atmospheres.
