Mike Gale’s Hey Presto, a lightened long-player that tip-toes between lounge, downtempo, shoegaze, and laid-back soundscapes that are cool to the touch, was released in April 2024.

Taroug :: Darts & Kites (Denovali)
This album is fresh, colorful, and flush with innovative ideas that are recommended for lovers of challenging IDM, microhouse, motorik electro musik, as well as kinetic abstract ambient minimalism and ascending romantical piano music.
People Like Us :: COPIA (Cutting Hedge)
In a way this album can be thought of as a collective mirror reflecting the sound prerogatives and choices of People Like Us and the many guest musicians involved as they wander through the library. From this fact people often infer that the library is infinite, because it sounds like they have used an infinite number of pieces to create this kaleidoscopic collection of musical associations.
UCC Harlo :: Topos (Subtext)
Overall, Topos is fearless and unique, with uncompromising musical textures and forms, highly disciplined, sometimes visceral and ethereal, often raw and rapt.
Saroos :: Turtle Roll (Alien Transistor)
To put the German band Saroos on the listening map, one only has to mention a couple of names: the Notwist and Morr Music.
Rico Casazza :: Escandon EP (Perimeter Junk)
These five selections shake and shimmy through downtempo layers with a pseudo-lounge cadence.
Björk :: Fossora (One Little Independent)
While field recordings of Björk actually picking mushrooms or dancing on her coffee table is perhaps the biggest missed opportunity on Fossora, the opportunity of time that lockdown gave Björk to reconnect with nature, her evolving family and her love of the simple joys of domestic life, have delivered a truly remarkable album.
Hydroplane :: Rockets (Schematic Music Company)
A twisted little gem of electronic pop, Rockets is a collection of tracks built around solid melodic melodies that constantly bend away from convention.
