Sunday Brunch - My World EP
posted a review of Sunday Brunch - My World EP. 2 months ago
My World (Night Drive Mix) is a HUGE tune. Deep Detroit-esque night time badassery. Pure fire!
Monolake
posted a review of Monolake. 3 months ago
I don't know why his music is not appreciated more. Not to brag but I guess that requires a bit of taste as his music is very specific. One of the most balanced & atmospheric compositions (emotion / sound design) I've ever heard came from Robert. I'm... See full review

Quite possibly the most entrancing strange 60+ min sound collage you'll ever hear, where no section happens twice. Everything seems to fall apart yet it stays coherent somehow, glued by the concept and vision. And that freakin' water splash in the... See full review
Kenny Larkin - Keys, Strings, Tambourines
posted a review of Kenny Larkin - Keys, Strings, Tambourines. 3 months ago
The eponymous «Keys, Strings, Tambourines» track is a killer. It's got that relentless propulsive feel to it: driving, mysterious, a little out-there, and on top of all those sporadic congas man... I'm a sucker for juicy percussion.

An outstanding producer – deep spaced out cuts with lush ambience underneath. But I wonder why does he limits the length of his tracks to 6-8 minutes? It's a crime for such gorgeous slow burners and they beg to be extended.

Stardust is a stand out for me here. Chunky spaced out laid-back grower with lush ambient pads floating underneath. Begs to be listened again and again. Careful with your replay button guys!

Oh my, what a producer. Lush ambient textures & crisp beats. High vibrational music for the elevated souls. Truly forward-thinking, inner-feeling sound. Illuvia project is something else, ambient d'n'b at its finest, I dare you to find a better... See full review

Producers that are not afraid to hold back when it comes to introducing new sonic elements in a track are worth their weight in gold. That's the sign of maturity. Earth Wires is certainly one of these cases. Thank you Sebastian!

Voigt's GAS remix is a mesmerizing sonic treat, I've been blasting this regularly last couple of years.

don't let the noise confuse you
it's just something that you're used to
you never knew any different
there's something else if you listen

Ocean Shy is for sure is one of the deepest traxx these ears have ever heard. Monumental. Hear it now!
The purely experimental stuff she played on her live show in Novosibirsk in 2016 was rather strange and not my cuppa.

Badass neo ethnic psychedelic trip on the B side, oldschool-ish & confident in its unhurried hypnotic flow with occasional sax on top of it, something I guess Andrew Weatherall would've appreciated, or perhaps Alexander Ivkovic. don't sleep on this one guys See full review
