Leila Bordreuil / Zach Rowden ~ Hollow

Janek Schaefer ~ Glitter in my tears

Glitter in my tears is an unfulfilled promise, its life cut short time and again by daydreams had deep into the night. It marks the 20th anniversary of Janek Schaefer’s first release, perhaps mired in hopes lost by now, a

Jessica Aszodi ~ Prayer for Nil

Joydah ~ Jouissance

On the surface, Jouissance is a perfect summer album, tailor-made for a drive to the beach, sunroof down, passengers using their hands as planes.  The flow is exquisite, the beats divine, the samples so cleverly integrated that their origins are completely obscured.
