Avi C. Engel & Bradley Sean Alexander :: Rewild (floralia)
Rewild is a sumptuous, bittersweet, and spiritual post-ambient effort with captivating moments of everlasting and nostalgic beauty.
VSESLAV :: Dryoma (Mestnost)
VSESLAV (aka Stanislav Sevostyanikhin) masterfully weaves shimmering layers of ambient textures and flowing synthesizer currents on Dryoma to craft immersive sonic relics that transcend conventional notions of time and dimension.
Fallen :: We are lone swans floundering in a deep river or sudden magic (Shimmering Moods)
Here, looped beats, sharp-panned synth lines, sparkling sampled piano, and glitchy “post-rock” electronica remind me of the early n5MD releases from the likes of Lights Out Asia, Epic45, and Near The Parenthesis.
Tomosla :: Dunestal (Mahorka)
Dunestal flows smoothly, offering a serene, meditative journey with delicate, swelling moments—perfect for fans of ambient day-dream travels and tranquility.
Ben McElroy :: Elkwort (laaps)
Centered on extended drones and relaxed, repetitive acoustic motifs that gracefully interact within a consonant sonic space, inviting the listener to reconnect with a deep sense of awareness and spiritual freedom.

The Reverent Sky reaffirms Roach’s status as (inter-)stellar sonic explorer, layering various strands of his stylistic armory into a mesmeric tableau of oneiric ambience offset with a timeless pulse.
Andrey Kiritchenko :: Ultra Marshes (Flaming Pines)
Here, he dives headfirst into bold ideas and uneasy experimentations, echoing the spirit of fellow sonic explorers like Kim Cascone and Francisco López—both of whom he has collaborated with under the banner of his boundary-pushing label, Nexsound.
Erik Wøllo :: Where the River Widens (Projekt)

Alexandre Navarro :: Les Toiles De Nuits (Facade Electronics)
In a world where music often trends toward the loud and assertive, Les Toiles De Nuits is a breath of fresh air. It celebrates the art of subtlety and the beauty of sparseness, inviting us to find solace in the spaces between sounds.
Whatever The Weather :: Whatever The Weather II (Ghostly International)
