As Above So Below – [2016] Ritos I

Debut EP of “Portugese project doing cinematic postrock”. Special treat: excellently crafted melody lines.

Wed, 25th Sep 2019
University of Chicago Symphony Orchestra – [2012] Design and Intent

Live recording of excellently performed classical music. Though not exactly hi-fi, the performance excels.

Wed, 18th Sep 2019
Akey – [2010] Feel

Rather experimental ambient electronica, but hear me out. Songs that work as songs, but will stick out in your collection.

Wed, 11th Sep 2019
Various Artists – [2009] Footprints

Massive trip hop infused electronic compilation. 30 tracks from dance to experimental.

Wed, 4th Sep 2019
Boogie Belgique – [2014] Nightwalker (Vol. 2)

Old swing samples meet instrumental hip hop loops. Both casually and dancually enjoyable.

Wed, 28th Aug 2019
Planet Boelex – [2013] Exist

Short like an EP, full like a compilation. Uplifting ambient electronica at its best.

Wed, 21st Aug 2019
Spiedkiks – [2013] Take Off Your Make Up

Groovy big beat funk, great for upbeat parties.

Wed, 14th Aug 2019
Electric Mirrors – [2016] UFO Stories

Slightly dark synth-pop at its best. Stomping beats and almost spoken vocals included.

Wed, 7th Aug 2019
Saito Koji – [2009] Time / Line

Essential ambient drone music. Literally takes its time.

Wed, 19th Jun 2019
Scott Altham – [2012] Scott Altham Anthology

Collector-curated compilation of 4 years of electronic music from Scott Altham’s ccMixter profile.

Wed, 12th Jun 2019
Knoxband – [2009] Equinox

Extremely shoe-gazy, ambient progressive or even post rock. Percussion only starts for the finale. Amazement during the intro.

Wed, 5th Jun 2019
Fla Vector – [2013] RED

Industrial synth-wave dubstep from Belarus. Fans of The Prodigy please step closer. And start dancing.

Wed, 29th May 2019
Klangwald – [2012] Tolerance & Courage EP

Calm and deliberate electronica backdrop. Not fighting for your attention, earning it just the more for it.

Wed, 22nd May 2019
Everlasting Dream – [2011] Echoes From the Future

Cinematic downtempo electronica. Could be a sci-fi soundtrack, just lacks a movie.

Wed, 15th May 2019
Various Artists – [2006] The Silent Ballet, Volume II: Acquiescence and Oblivion

Essential post rock compilation series. Spans a huge range from almost classical to jazzy territory.

Wed, 8th May 2019
Various Artists – [2019] Fusion Compilation 12

Versatile trip hop compilation. From ethnic ambient to catchy pop rock, all genres may apply.

Wed, 1st May 2019
Professor Kliq – [2011] Athene’s Theory of Everything OST

Cinematic electronica with little percussion, but lots of atmosphere.

Wed, 24th Apr 2019
Brk – [2015] IIIIII

Ice-cold dub techno, the gin tonic of music. Edgy synths, minimal harmonies, and subdued percussion.
