Plusplus – [2012] Game Over

Cinematic. Folk. Much. Wow. Mostly analogue guitar instrumentals creating melancholic atmospheres.

Wed, 9th May 2018
Ryukau – [2015] Muryoku

Minimal bleep sounds. Very experimental science fiction movie backdrop.

Counterfly – [2017] The Invisible Journey

Multi-genre blend. Charming combination of uncommon sound combinations with rhythmic orthodoxy.

Edgeist – [2016] Septentrion

Electronic noise something. Odd saw wave sounds over irregular beats.

Wed, 18th Apr 2018
The Impossebulls – [2016] The Devils You Know

Poetic hip hop with acrobatic diction. Traditional sample loops form the base for some creative lyrics.

SEA OF ÅLAND – [2017] Extended Play One

Dark ambient drones. Clearly experimental two-track EP, delivering dark soundscapes direct to your brain.

Cinematic instrumental post rock. Like an alternative soundtrack to Magnolia, this slow-paced exercise in wackyness.

adamned.age – [2013] transit berlin

Solid soft hard rock. Very well recorded and produced vocal rock music; hard to place on the spectrum between soft and hard rock.

Sister Soleil – [2012] Haunted EP

Indie trip-hop. 4 track EP full of intriguing tracks and collaborations of creative musicians.

Wed, 21st Feb 2018
Various Artists – [2017] Dark Of Winter: Music From The Original Motion Picture Soundtrack

Exceptionally broad movie soundtrack. Cool credit punch songs, mystical and disturbing ambient tracks live side by side.

Wed, 14th Feb 2018
melodysheep – [2013] Symphony of Science Collector’s Edition

Scientific ear-candy. Musical blend of talks about everything from biology to cosmology with upbeat electronica.

Wed, 7th Feb 2018
Psilodump – [2005] The Night I Lost You All You All

Netlabels come and go, artists stay. This gem of a release was originally released at now defunct label Candy Mind.

Various Artists – [2012] mix-toor presents: This is material music
