Firstly, it runs for 5 days a week. That […]

To coincide with the interview with Lo-Kiwi, I’m reviewing one of their releases, “Adrift” by Finnish duo Moosefrog. Adrift is a follow-up to the “Come” EP, which was the first release of the Lo-Kiwi label.
After an initial listen, ‘Adrift’ sounds unmistakeably like a throwback to the trip-hop era of the mid to late […]

Although I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again that CC music never fails to surprise me with the amount of quality music that gets released. This time around, the album is Cool Aberrations from General Fuzz. Cool Aberrations is a melodically-driven album with many wonderful melodies adorning its many tracks. Each track is highly […]

It is hard to describe why Ixtlan’s music is so appealing. Maybe it’s how smooth the overall production of each track is, with melodies, basslines, leads and ambience all falling neatly into place. Everything feels right yet there is still some amount of not-right in each track - something that makes this album deserving of […]

“Orange Crush” is Norwegian based artist Karl Endreson, and “The Fields” is his first release. For a first release, The Fields sounds incredibly polished, is instantly memorable and represents a stunning achievement for Karl and Archaic Horizon , the label on which “The Fields” was released.
This full length album effortlessly switches from soothing downtempo […]

This time around, I’m reviewing a much older album released in 2005 by Aleksi Virta. Aleksi Virta may not be a household name around the electronic music scene but he surely produces some breathtaking music.
Aleksi Virta Meets Torsti at the Space Lounge consists mainly of dubby/downtempo tracks blending in jazz, bossa nova and idm influences. […]

It’s been a while since we reviewed any releases from the Kahvi Collective Netlabel. The last two reviews we did from kahvi were pasta-licious and deceptive, now we have a straightforward album which features a familiar blend of chillout and idm.
Kahvi’s end of November release is from Brioskj who resides in Genoa, Italy. Brioskj creates […]

More food inspired music comes your way courtesy of Seestrings. Similar in vein to the Pasta EP that I reviewed earlier, the Strawberry Jam EP can be thought of as a much more laidback version of the pasta EP in a sense. Think of it as melodic chillout IDM.
Each track of the EP is […]

It is almost a given that people who live in big cities have experienced light pollution at night where the sky isn’t really dark any more but a brownish tint. I believe many of these people have probably felt certain amounts of awkwardness, strangeness or even desire to escape into a dark night when faced […]

From the Kyoto Republic Netlabel comes a post-rock/trip hop album by Jean Nine. The moods on this album can be described as dark, brooding and sometimes somewhat cold. This is really some laid back stuff. One thing I didn’t really like about the album is how it can get too laid back although there were […]

Forgive me for the lame title of this post, for I simply ran out of ideas!
Plosive’s compilation of his remixes of other artists on the one label is a testament to the strongly collaborative nature of the netlabel ethic. Whereas remixes would normally be filler material on 12″ dance records or artists desperately trying […]

Transient represented a rare find for me. It’s just one of those albums that represented that new sound that you’ve never heard before until you pressed play. I don’t always like jazz because it doesn’t repeat too much. Transient’s jazzy style has just enough repeating elements to be palatable to me. The first four tracks […]
