  • Per – [2010] Ettertid

    Per – [2010] Ettertid

    This release features timeless, synthy IDM. It was released in 2010 by the Fwonk netlabel. Also checkout Fwonk’s anniversary compilation FWONK*50 for an overview of their extensive catalogue. But back to this review: 10 tracks with approximately 50 minutes length hover around a quite neutral mood, similar to Pluxus. Some tracks are slightly upbeat, but…

  • Bachelor Machines – [2011] Fatal Error

    Bachelor Machines – [2011] Fatal Error

    The UK based netlabel Fwonk finally got me with this clicky, dancy house release by the Bachelor Machines. To me they sound like a younger Justice or a more mature Stay Ali. Stompy beats, chiptune aesthetics and very memorable (not to say catchy) melody lines make me like their Fatal Error. 10 tracks with over…

  • Younnat – [2010] His Name Is Radar

    Younnat – [2010] His Name Is Radar

    The Japanese netlabel Bump Foot is a great source for a wide range of free music. His Name Is Radar is a very organic sounding Pop Funk release. Younnat’s other album The Duct, released in 2007 at the same netlabel, is among the Top 10 of most downloaded releases. He also has released some tracks…

  • Various Artists – [2008] Cologne Commons Compilation 01

    Various Artists – [2008] Cologne Commons Compilation 01

    Cologne Commons is an annual conference and festival for digital culture that takes place in — surprise — Cologne in Germany. Unfortunately, I have never attended so far. YouTube enabled me to watch some conference talks online. Fortunately for me as music collector, a colourful music compilation is released for each conference. This album is…

  • Jenset – [2010] Rockin’ Back My Nights

    Jenset – [2010] Rockin’ Back My Nights

    This week’s release is a DJ mix set released at the Sonic Walker netlabel. It features 12 tracks from the netlabel rec72 (which should not be confused with the 12rec. netlabel). The covered genres range from dark ambient stuff to breaky IDM. Tracks by Zoe.LeelA also feature vocals. I would suggest it for a cool…

  • Old Bear – [2010] If you can find me

    Old Bear – [2010] If you can find me

    It’s time for some dry, abstract IDM music. This album by the artist Old Bear reminds me of the style of Pluxus whose song Transient you might know already from a Ford TV commercial. The Cologne based netlabel rec72 serves a delicious meal of self-entitled Abstract Hip Hop. Have a quick listen to my favourite…

  • Various Artists – [2008] So Much Achieved. So Much Left To Do.

    Various Artists – [2008] So Much Achieved. So Much Left To Do.

    This album is the 50th release of the netlabel 12rec. from Germany. It covers the range of the label which mainly publishes experimental guitar music with a touch of folk. 17 different tracks wait to be discovered. I present my three favourites in the following.

  • Steven Dunston – [2003] To Get Home Before Night Comes

    Steven Dunston – [2003] To Get Home Before Night Comes

    Fully radio compatible pop music is not easy to find in free music sources. So I am very happy to have found this little gem on Jamendo. The album features relaxed Pop music with emphasis on piano and melancholic vocals.
