Panel Trax presents the debut release by Alexander D’niel, a young artist from Argentina, now living in Berlin. The EP has a dense grave atmosphere featuring five original tracks, ranging from pure ambient stuff to full on techno, with an industrial feeling.
From Germany comes Untitled Dubs, another somewhat enigmatic project, bringing a lot of warmth and subtally moody techno stuff.
The second release on Ryo Murakami’s and DJ PI-GE’s label Pan Records, represents the debut EP by Auji Industries from Tokyo with four wonderful deep dubby tracks .
Horizontal Ground presents release no. 10, featuring some advanced electronic tracks from techno to drone, wave/punk electronica rooted tunes and a remix of Itmuts by Skirt.
Preceding the release of his next full length album, Dutchman Conforce has selected four tracks to release as the Dystopian Elements EP. But don’t let the title fool you because, as is often the case with Boris Bunnik, there is a warm analogue/digital harmony to his sounds which is more than worthy of its place on Delsin.
Gunnar Wendel, the producer best known for his work under the Kassem Mosse moniker debuts the Seltene Erden pseudonym, with the four tracks here lavishly deep explorations. The shimmering slo-mo dub of “Northen Rae” gets things on the A-Side to a stunning start, complemented by the crackly ambience of “Bayan Obo”. Flip over for the Theo-esque rhythms of “Kvanefjeld” and perhaps the most breathtaking of the lot – the intensely relaxing, beatless soundscape of “Hoidas Lake”.
M_Rec Ltd presents two original tracks by Giorgio Gigli and a remix from Terence Fixmer. Together, their approach creates something special and unique. In its original track Giorgio Gigli delivers the best of its hypnotic and psychedelic techno. A great atmosphere, where the ambient pads meet the dark bass sound. The side closes with an ambient session; a drone of pure electronic,dark synth, making the idea of the state of mind of his own individual unconscious. Terence Fixmer’s version is decidedly more rough, stripped of certain atmospheres, highlighting a more hypnotic and repetitive attitude.
In addition to the “Best Of Ambient” compilation from John Beltran, two remixes are made to honour one of our favourite electronic music producers of all time. The a-side gives us a reinterpretation of “Brilliant Flood” from rising star Kassem Mosse together with his studiomate Mix Mup. This remix smoothly pimps up the track whilst leaving the atmosphere of the original intact. On the b-side, Sven Weisemann made a composition as a tribute to John Beltran, which contains elements of different original cuts. The result is Sven’s Glorify Tribute Mix, a dreamy epic adventurous nine-minute masterpiece in three parts
Epic kosmiche/Italo expedition from Guido Zen and Juan Trippe’s Brain Machine, co-piloted with remixes with Von Spar and Johan Agebjörn! The ten minute vastness of ‘Alpha Beta Gamma’ nods to both Schulze and Moroder and should command any dancefloor it’s sent to, while Von Spar give a neater, pop-sized version still with the triplet rhythm propulsion. Johan Agebjörn’s productions is kinda like viewing the northern lights from a shuttle above Detroit.
The third part in Absurd Recordings’ Acid Test Series is “a spaced out ambient acid tune” recorded for the Labyrinth festival in 2010 by Donato Dozzy. Labelmate Tin Man remixes the track on the flipside and turns it “into a dark tripped out acid journey” with his added vocals.
New release on Frustrated Funk by Clatterbox, featuring 5 excellent electro tracks with an ambient flavour.
‘Parallel Harbors’, the sixth album on Other Heights connects Coppice Halifax and Ohrwert. Coppice Halifax’s ‘Acres’, which have already been wandered on OH#Three, now return with their rough and dry subtleness, whilst Ohrwert takes his dubbed-out productions to strengthen this to a solid album.
Delsin is proud to present this “Best Of Ambient”-compilation by one of their all-time electronic music heroes John Beltran. 16 tracks presented on triple vinyl and cd, including ‘Collage Of Dreams’ as featured on HBO’s Six Feet Under series and other material from his sought after albums originally released on Peacefrog and R&S and more. With extensive liner notes from the artist himself.
“Time Axis Manipulation” is the eight full-length album from Swedish experimental dub/drone act Mokira. You can call this album and the music of Mokira electronic kraut, harsh ambient or the deepest dub. On the album “Time Axis Manipulation” Mokira again focuses on the beauty of sound. Sounds beautiful enough in their own right. Together as songs, Mokira brings rain to your summer.
Brendon Moeller, aka Echologist and Beat Pharmacy, will release his seventh full length album. “Subterranean” is a deeply narcotic listening experience. Subtly evolving atmospheres, hypnotic sub-basslines, reverb-soaked drones and lush vibrating textures abound. All elements possess their own pulse and cadence, but stay in sync to create an otherworldly sub-aquatic experience. The album gently ebbs and flows as exquisite modulations and articulations create a mesmerizing ambience that is at times as propulsive as it is passive.
The latest release from Vancouver Island’s Silent Season imprint, “Compile,” collects ten compositions (nine previously available as vinyl-only releases) in CD form from Montreal’s Serge Collin under his Atheus moniker.
Stark and beautiful.. an amazing new title from John Mendez (Silent Servant / Sandwell) alongside his partner Camella Lobbo with the one and only Richard H Kirk (Cabaret Voltaire, Sweet Exorcist etc.) on remix duties.
A.P. aka Andreas Peterson released on his own label, Ghost Sounds, a very experimental album, based in (dark) ambience with rhythmic patterns oriented among idm, electro and triphop. Inspired by asian horror movies and by David Lynch’s films ”Lost highway” and ”Mulholland Drive”.
Meanwhile unveils Inward Content by Inward Content a collaboration between Niels Luinenberg (Delta Funktionen) and Samuel van Dijk (Mohlao). The album was recorded specially for the label by the two dutch producers over the course of a two year period.
