Shapes and Sizes
Shapes and Sizes
by Ontagon

PREVIEW ALL TRACKS HERE

Is it getting colder where you’re at? I’ve found a release that’s almost perfectly suited for autumnal weather. Ontagon’s full length album “Shapes and Sizes” has a pastoral, introspective, hypnotic, sweet-dreams feel to it thats perfect for those stay-in-bed mornings nestled under the covers.
The album is quite diverse, from the fairly […]

The label run by Massju and Wolfseule focuses on releasing high quality and ingenious music with a bit of weirdness.

The End All
The End All
by Between Cathedrals

141414 is a relatively new music label focusing on the more experimental side of electronic music. Non-descript and bare-bones in nature, the netlabel website gives off an impression of mystery, where only the bare minimum of information is given. Truthfully, I would have given the site a pass if I wasn’t invited by the netlabel […]

Itawel Melggin
Itawel Melggin
by Baron Knoxburry

Without a doubt, this is the most non-derivative release I’ve had to review here. A quite fresh and unconventional album. Although it has about 20 tracks, it clocks in at about 20 minutes, meaning they are 20 very short tracks.
Its hard to put your finger down on what Baron’s trademark sound really is. Well most […]

Tone Squawk EP
Tone Squawk EP
by BCM

The folks at gratisvibes have been busy preparing for their gig explaining the sore lack of updates. Now that the gig is over and a great success (in our own little way), time to toss down another review.
This time around, it is recommended to us by the artist himself, BCM. It’s an IDM album comprising […]

Sad Electronics 3A
Sad Electronics 3A
by Various Artists

.. don’t listen to this album. It’s going to make you really sad.
This compilation album from the netlabel S!te Records features 13 accomplished electronic musicians, each contributing one track.
The tracks are minimalistic in general, makes one feels really peaceful when listening to them. Strangely, I did not feel what the release title suggests while […]

Unmute EP
Unmute EP
by 403

Here’s a short 2-track release from the Japanese netlabel, Bumpfoot, by “403″, who has also released on another Japanese netlabel, Muraokoshi. That release had an amazing track, “Password”, an epic d’n’b stormer with a beautiful melody that sticks in your head for a long time.
The Unmute EP doesn’t differ that much sonically from his […]

Escape from the City
Escape from the City
by Brioskj

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 […]

Tsunami Tendertimes
Tsunami Tendertimes
by Blakkar Noir

If you enjoy the humour present in sexually themed albums but sexually themed Belgian New Beat is a bit too harsh for you, then you may find Tsunami Tenderness to be just the correct prescription for you.
Strictly speaking, the music is not blatant in exhibiting its sexuality. We’re not assaulted instantly by moans and grunts […]
