Drawing us in with its distant signals and moving shadows that intensify, these eight mysterious and adventurous pieces provide a hypnotic flow that permeates and pulls us through delaminated ambient shapes.

Jason van Wyk :: Descendants (n5MD)
The result is consistent, intriguing and always emotionally pleasant with delicately wistful sparks of light and obscured melodies.
Autechre :: Draft 7.30 & Confield Reissues (Warp)
One could imagine Autechre’s music as a lumbering, semi-amorphous creature cannibalized and synthesized with parts from electro, hip-hop, industrial, noise, free jazz, and plain old experimental music.
Arovane :: Sinter (laaps)
What I hear consistently through each track is a fascination for the drone concept, extended tones, often decorated by interesting and harmonious field sounds and counter tones.
Joachim Spieth :: Terrain (Affin)
There are no sharp edges here, merely rising and falling tones, hillocks and nooks where sound pools and swirls, eddying slowly before being released into the ether.
Swartz et :: Desert Meditations (Utter East)
Capturing light waves and nostalgia, subtle melodic strands drift and fade away as we’re given the opportunity to let these sounds dissolve and cast their tones and drones upon us.
Somatic Responses :: Rhinog Fawr’ (Heol Ddu)
The scraping, noise-drenched slabs in which John Healy (one half of Somatic Responses) is able to craft are astounding.
Keosz :: Neven OST (Cryo Chamber)
A welcomed return with a key and immediately transportive album in the subterranean, ethereal and dark-ambient galaxy to start the year in timeless beauty.
