Federico Durand ~ Herbario
The Laaps imprint continues with its final entry of spring, released on the cusp of summer. As some recall, each album begins where the last leaves off, which means Federico Durand‘s “Salvia” proceeds from the mouth of Stijn Huwels and Tomoyoshi Date’s “A

Simon McCorry ~ And Where Are You Really From?

Lighght ~ Holy Endings
From his auto-correct baiting name to his meme-tastic Twitter feed (currently named ‘the official account of the band autechre’), it’s obvious that Cork-based producer Lighght doesn’t take himself too seriously. Or rather, he takes making his music seriously, but everything
