The Cracks #2
An irregular series that aims to net the best releases before they fall through the cracks for good
Luigi Tozzi - Deep Blue: Volume 3
Third part in the young Italian producer's esteemed Deep Blue series is the finest Ambient Techno being made at the moment.
Romance - Once Upon A Time
Glorious interpretation of the music of Celine Dion:
re-imagining the Canadian icon's cultural locked grooves as a set of post-vaporwave crybient zoners that are part OPN's timeless "Eccojams", part "Disintegration Loops” Basinski and part Malibu/DJ Lostboi on ice
Biosphere - Shortwave Memories
Returning to analogue hardware and inspired by post-punk electronic music, Geir Jenssen delivers another quality work. If you liked his Black Messa EP, then you'll love this.
Ivan Muela - Monologues
Not just a pandemic album, this five track "sonic journal" may be a fig leaf to a temporary world, a moment of respite, but using tape loops, guitar pedals and generative techniques, it's a revealing conversation between artist and technology.
