Werner Urban ~ Dworzac Towarowy

Dworzac Towarowy is a catchy record with an unusual construction: a set of field recordings rearranged into dance shapes.  For comparison’s sake, think Coldcut’s “Natural Rhythm”, but with dominant percussion.  The head starts to bob, the feet to tap as soon

2 Hungry Bros. ~ Recipe for Disaster

Only $5 for an instrumental hip-hop tape, pocket-sized and ready to trade with friends?  Sounds like 1980 all over again!  This is the sort of tape that brings a smile to the face and makes the cassette resurgence make sense.

Sunset Graves ~ Dead Cities Hymnal

Save Fabric!  This rallying cry was the starting point for the new album from Andy Fosberry (Sunset Graves), whose efforts helped to keep an exciting venue alive a few months back.  As this standout track begins, one hears the sounds

Rutger Zuydervelt ~ Astroneer OST

A sense of naïve wonder. A sentimental poetic that reflects upon discovery, whether of new spaces or perhaps even new sensations, as the vantage-point of an adventurous imagination. The music of the ‘last frontier’ that is found among the stars

Gidge ~ LNLNN

LNLNN sees Swedish duo Jonatan Nilsson and Ludvig Stolterman return to the woods, not only inspired by but embracing the north of Sweden. Gidge also return to their electronic roots, using ambient-touched samples from Lulin while additionally reintroducing sleek, dark rhythms and a bleaker, harsher atmosphere.
