“when it was all born it came out of a yellow mountain the glue, the spit, the gas and the soul petrol it slid down and kept on ****in movin. when the beach is open for summer then you see it all. the women on their backs and all this hair in the water the weight of the glue ? why does it have weight ? the hair and the sounds that come from ssaliva is heat, i guess. this is where...

i suppose this one comes with fair amount of lag (uploaded to bandcamp in the pre-megaupload-apocalypse era), still, the complete dz tapes compilation is finally available for streaming and downloading. according to the tags, it covers biolectronic darkwave electrohaze folkadelic glo-fi landscaping magnetized magnets psych-ambient spiders yogurts — and oddly enough, this actually pretty...

here comes a piece of music history from one of my all time favourite experimental artist/musicologist. as the story goes… “peter [rehberg] brought up the fact that, way back in the hrvåtski days (pre-hrvatski), i had given him a demo for mego proper ; this came as a shock as i’ve always prided myself on the fact that i’ve never solicited anyone with a demo in my life …...

lovebox is the follow-up to last year’s emptying models ep and the first album proper by seeds in helmet. whereas three out of the ep’s four tracks were instrumental, vocals play central role here. cracks, clicks, pops, quasi-melodies and extremely sparse beats form a bleak, vast space for them, in which they sound somewhat sacred and ultimately abandoned. as you might have guessed...

coyote clean up - seventeen from frozen solid on 100% silk. if you dig this hazy house sound, it’s well worth checking out coyote clean up’s soundcloud too.

practically i don’t have any information about lɘnta., except for he’s having three tracks on soundcloud, supposedly a flickr account and that he lives in vietnam (which might or might not be the case). anyway, he exhibits some splendid production skills in these slow burning house jams, so much so that i assume he’s well over the phase of experimenting with fruity loops...

the jinnee is out of the bottle. o/t, the split ep by wanda group and hav lyfe (aka wanda group aka dem hunger?) effortlessly proves that hypnagogic pop is not your average disposable hyped genre. the two tracks of this ep draw on ambient, glitch and kosmiche musik without falling into any of those categories per se. i’m inclined to regard this sound, or rather, approach as a new level of...

lilacs & champagne - everywhere, everyone this is a grails side project. great band name and great song — kind of makes me want to ride a horse in an and-now-i’m-leaving-my-woman-behind way. self-titled debut out on mexican summer on 31.01.12.

even though the tracklist for this release lists 18 different artists, it’s actually a collaborative work of four hungarian producers, who wish to remain anonymous. it’s primarily due to the fact that the whole release is based on samples of hungarian hit songs from the 80s and 90s and - as you might guess - copyrights are not cleared. (truth to be told: any effort to settle the...

demdike stare present their unique genre hopping trip once again on their new mixtape, irrational advice. this is one might be a tad less unsettling than their previous mixes, let alone their records, but expect no friends on the land of obscurity. (in this context even julia holter is suspected hiding a knife behind her back.)

holy other remixed by andy stott and the haxan cloak. spoiler:the haxan cloak is showing off his pop sensibilities, declaring he’s not being haunted any more.

simply put: the new vladislav delay album is great. i definitely welcome his return to his grey area glitch/dub techno styling — first and foremost because i loved his early records the most and well, i’m not a sucker for novelty by default. even though he didn’t reinvent himself on vantaa there’s a healthy dose of freshness bracing his sound, ranging from articulated...

field recordings, in some respect, are the most radical ways of musical expression. even more so, than say, power electronics, where at least one can envision the artist tweaking knobs — or algorithms. but with field recordings… is it music at all? (what is music after all?) or is it just documentation? if so, can documentation be art? if a documentary film is considered a piece of art...
