DaFou’s new release on Buenos Aeros’ Cyclical Dreams arrives under the title Berlin Transit, and the Berlin nod is more than cosmetic—it signals a clear pull toward a Schulzian mode of expression. What unfolds across more than 100 minutes is a sustained act of musical articulation, rooted in a tightly wound compression of intention from the outset.

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.

Phase IV is a concept-driven album that aligns sound with themes like memory, dislocation, perception, and digital identity. It transcends conventional structures and emphasizes sound textures, with minimalism reflecting sensory exploration.
The Seven Planes of Dreams draws from a lot of different sources, such as the esoteric idea of five levels of consciousness, the scientific view of different phases of sleep, elements of our daily lives mingling with messages from our subconscious mind and with impressions received from books, or movies, from pictures and also other music.

It beckons us to explore the enigmatic, untamed heartbeat of existence itself. With layers of complexity and an all-encompassing energy, these Forgotten Worlds are treasures meant to be rediscovered, time and time again.
