Various Artists - Dub meets Techno
Fantastic compilation that does what it says on the tin; the dubbiest of dub techno soundscapes to get lost in from Poland’s Moonshine Recordings.
memotone - How Was Your Life?
Luscious acoustic percussion and digital tones interlock seamlessly on this release from Bristol’s memotone.
Billus - Dust In Bloom
Following up 2022’s lush, sun-tinged ‘Shifting Sands’ EP on Animalia, Melbourne-based producer Billus steps up with 9 tracks of pure bliss. Running through melty ambient, dusty downtempo and warm, vibrant house, this is a must-listen for fans of dubbed-out, meditative dance music.
Milieu - Compline
Lovely long-form ambient to get swallowed up in from Ohio’s Milieu. Beautifully tranquil and filled with warmth, this is a treat for your ears and your mind.
Ayami Suzuki - Passages
Textural goodness throughout this work from Ayami Suzuki. Lingering melodies and choirs work together to put you atop a cloud you won’t want to get down from.
Keplrr - Petra
Within his bass-heavy, mutated club music, Keplrr has always displayed a knack for atmospheric synth work and cushioning ambience. ‘Petra’, fully embraces these facets of his sound, utilising an IDM-tinged sound palette and haunting vocals to mesmeric effect.
nimu - Picture In Picture
Dreamy ambient from a label that never misses, perfect for locking in and drifting away.
deeptea - Formless Decline
Jazz-fused ambient from Seattle based deeptea. Fuses acoustic drums and bass sounds with field recordings and really impressive sound-work.
Ebende - All The Way Through
Swedish producer Ebende comes through with a beautiful, almost-dubstep (?) track, rooted in sparkling synths and a call-and-response vocal sample.
KWC 92 - Dreamin’ Of A Vacation
A dreamy, nostalgic work out on Trilogy Tapes. Weaves between new age ambient, video game music and vaporwave-tinged beats but with a consistency that is hard to replicate. One to watch!
HVL - Lightsail
Another wicked collection of tracks from Georgia’s HVL, who never seems to miss. Deep, hypnotic hardware jams to get the feet and heart moving as one.
Polygonia - iTiTi
Field-recording techno jam here out on Madrid-based Phase.ctv. A lovely concotion of sounds for you to enjoy, underlaid by a solid but calming groove.
