I've liked Emog since I first heard his track "Crow" on VA - Lumineyez Vol. 2 [Luminosity Project]. this new album's sounding just as good.

 

The Circular release sounded good too. At first I thought it was the Ultimae Records Circular but this is bassy and way different.

 

Ishq is very special to me, I'm always glad to see new music from Matt. from his newsletters it sounds like there's lots of new tunes in the pipeline too.

 

Interchill and Mycelium Music comps are worth checking out too.

i was also surprised to see Circular on Triple Drop label, so i verified with Saxon (label head) and he confirmed that is two different projects that share the name. 

 

Happy to see my friend from Paris, Mathieu (Jah Acid Dub) in the news. 

[Gagarin Project 400]

wow, TRANSITION by rigzin is totally magic.

(if you like mantras and mystical chants)

 

Life’s Most Wonderful by Stimulus Timbre is also very nice. Try track 5 to start with.

then perhaps you might like this ... master by Vincent Villuis (Aes Dana) @ Ultimae Records

will listen again with pleasure, thank you for reminding.

somehow those subjects are very attractive to me now.

I didn't notice Whitebear's EP on there last week.  Just had a listen this morning.  It's great!

 

Not sure whether I will wait for it to appear on Bandcamp before I buy it tho.

[snowdrop 73]

Whitebear - I already loved his stuff but this EP has so much more sonic space and just as much punch. Even the rework of Recalibrated has benefited from a level-up in this area.

 

Not sure whether I will wait for it to appear on Bandcamp before I buy it tho.

 

Yeah, $9.95 seems a bit steep to me! It's all quality, but still...

[schofield 52]

You're right Snowdrop. It's such a good EP. I'm digging every track and love the last two.

 

Maybe I won't be able to wait for bandcamp. Hopefully it appears there real soon, otherwise Addictech it will be be. Heading overseas in a month; this would be great for the headphones!
