Hermanos Gutiérrez - Sonido Cósmico
(Easy Eye Sound, 2024)
With their third album, “Sonido Cosmico” (translated in English as cosmic sounds), the brothers put their supernatural bond to the forefront and transcend to hypnotic new heights. Each moment of this record feels different from the other; each picture evokes something different from the imagination. It’s hard to find a track not to like here.
KRM & KMRU - Disconnect
(Phantom Limb, 2024)
Twin heavyweights Kevin Richard Martin (The Bug) and Joseph Kamaru (KMRU) unite for “Disconnect”, a powerful study of dread, hope, and profound sonics that marries depth-trawling dub with Kamaru’s voice, ambient sensibilities, and negative space.
Jerk - Mood Swings
(Dead Currencies, 2024)
These are Jerk's words:
"Mood Swings is a collection of 12 pieces reflecting gender and mental health. 2022 was a year of political strife for transgender people in America, and a time when I was experiencing some intense emotions–dysphoria, derealization, grief, and romantic love and loss. I wanted to write music embracing this very authentic and vulnerable experience of self".
Actress - Statik
(Smalltown Supersound, 2024)
Actress explores meditation and transcendence for her tenth album “Statik”, released on Smalltown Supersound, preceded by the ambient song Static and the minimal techno downbeat of Dolphin Spray. On Statik, Darren J. Cunningham aka Actress explores the themes of meditation and transcendence, leaving the themes dear to his latest productions for the moment.
Alan Braufman - Infinite Love Infinite Tears
(Danse Noir, 2024)
The free jazz is in town. Braufman's “Infinite Love Infinite Tears" is intimate and universal, showcasing an ensemble deeply connected by (its) history and contemporary passion. Fifty years (!) after its debut on record, we still need Alan's meditative focus and impassioned sound intensity.
NxxxxxS - Ambient Music 4 Nighwalks
(100% Electronica, 2024)
"Ambient Music 4 Nightwalks" by NxxxxxS blends ambient music with hip-hop instrumentals, perfect for nighttime wanderings through Paris. NxxxxxS combines calming textures with vapor trap and vaporwave beats. The seamless flow creates a serene, introspective experience, balancing tranquillity and engagement. Impeccably produced. Think of an atmospheric version of Space Afrika and Dälek.
Hello Meteor - Shadow Boundaries
(Moloton, 2024)
Dreamwwave as its very best! Hello Meteor creates a nostalgic sound path that heals wounds with emotional depth and originality: the vivid imagery of an immersive deep world. I love it when artists are so consistent and prolific in creating their craft, especially when they blend atmospheric melodies with funky beats so well.
Max Graef - Natural Element
(Tartalet Records, 2024)
Bass-heavy daydreaming and dancefloor escapades, "Natural Element" showcases Max Graef's evolution, blending funk, dreamy chords, and organic psychedelia. Tracks like ‘Sports (Is Good For You)’ and ‘Around The Globe’ highlight his signature funk, while ‘We are the World (Test Drive)’ and ‘Sound Bytes’ offer a lush, psychedelic soundscape. The record has a mixtape feel, the artist's dedication to innovation, and a tribute to his background.
