Dub Trees - Celtic Vedic - Beautiful ethnic indian psydub  chillin album.
NOYA Project - Insight - I like Balance music, Beautiful Progressive chillout album with little bit of dark.
Seamoon - Crystal Language  - I m not very big fan of Psydub, the reason i like this album because of this track Crystal Language (528Hz - 8Hz Binaural) so Psychill track! <3
Various Artists -  Cosmik Chill Green- I don't usually listen to VA albums but I liked this time, Cosmik Chill Green is nice Psychedelic chillout , btw I didn't know about this label before, need to listen more albums from this label.
Ultradian - Pathfinder sweet deep ambient music 
Don't mind my comments =)

keep the comments coming, manny.

 

Seamoon's new EP is great, this is a change in style for him to a more bassy sound but he pulls it off nicely. personally I prefer the Six Synergies track the most.

 

Electrik Dream is a great label so it was a nice surprise to see a new Cosmik Chill compilation, the last one was 4 years ago (yellow). that Martins Garden track though!

 

Johakyu & Ultradian were some nice discoveries, promising new artists.

 

Erothyme never disappoints, he tends to get a little wild on some tracks but always brings it back down to earth.

 

still need to check out Dub Trees & Noya Project though.

[timeisart 170]

some genre disclaimers:

 

4bstr4ck3r & 5AM are essentially strictly glitch hop instead of psybass but were listed because I listed previous releases of theirs in the past.

Sense Datum is more psytrance/psybreaks but I like Eurythmy so I figured I'd list his side project here too.

Smooth is dub techno but was listed because of Cyan Music which I've kept up with so far this year.

Erothyme's EP is a winner for me.  Really like his music, and I found the EP to be a little more accessible.  At least easier to buy given it's four tracks and not 12 or 15 and being pay-what-you-want creating a need for a decision and ethical consideration....  

 

I got excited about Eurythmy's EP in my bandcamp feed and then was deflated when it was Sense Datum and faster music, not the real Eurythmy that I love.

 

Didn't know there was any new Kaya Project on the cards, and here I find that it's already released.  Have to have a proper listen tonight at home, but sounds promising played softly (barely audibly) here at my desk at work.

 

 

no probs with your selections timeisart.  Happy to see a range of genres represented.

Kaya Project

Yeah I wasn't expecting a new Kaya Project release either. That psyshop link was the only one I could find anywhere at the moment, hopefully a bandcamp link will pop up soon though.

 

Edit: nevermind, didn't see that Maia found the Beatport link: https://www.beatport.com/release/crossing-the-river/1770760

Good news everyone Electrik Dream is back! 

need to listen to this compilation

[Lorn 74]

Cosmik Chillout Green super comp!

[schofield 52]

Maybe I will wait to see if it appears on bandcamp.  I had a listen to the Gaudi remix on youtube last night.  Can't say I really dig the vocal that Gaudi has used.  Maybe I need to give it a few listens and see if it grows on me.

It wasn't easy to find ~ I don't get it, surely the only reason for releasing anything through Beatport is the promotional capacity the artist gets with it, but if I hadn't known it was there somewhere I probably never would have found it... go figure.

 

I think Erothyme and Kaya Project are the only contenders for me this week so far. I also much prefer Eurythmy's midtempo stuff. All of your comments will as always be helpful in directing my ears towards other things once I have time to give them my attention though ^.^

Seamoon EP is great, i had it already since few weeks as private promo

Seamoon EP is great, i had it already since few weeks as private promo

If you get any more of these private promos be sure to list them on the upcoming tab of the Google sheet if you know the release date (or if you don't, put it in the To Be Confirmed section).
