    Herr Doktor – [2017] Time for Love

    Cutside – [2016] Paramnesia

  • Floating Machine – [2017] Convergence EP

    Floating Machine – [2017] Convergence EP

    Monotonic, minimal trance. Evokes unconscious head nodding; its creator calls it “hypnotic”. No experiments.

  • Geotic – [2009] Hearth

    Geotic – [2009] Hearth

    Minimal guitar drone ambience. Soothing instrumental music based almost completely on subdued, soft, echoing guitar melodies.

  • Triplexity – [2008] Live in Triplex City

    Triplexity – [2008] Live in Triplex City

    Non-cheesy world lounge. A striking balance between combining multiple music and ethnic styles, and producing a coherent musical release.

  • Timezone LaFontaine – [2017] Soul Night

    Timezone LaFontaine – [2017] Soul Night

    Very musical vocal hip hop. Serious musical loops and very rhythmic lyrics give this rap release a very distinct feel.

  • The Nuri – [2009] Masquerade

    The Nuri – [2009] Masquerade

  • Golden Grey – [2016] Awaken the Wolf

    Golden Grey – [2016] Awaken the Wolf

    Glitch-craft ambient. Beautiful electro sound, aiming at the space between C148’s Minecraft and soft, minimal synth quirkiness.

    How-to make WordPress theme Twenty Sixteen completely dark

    Through a custom child theme and 6 carefully built CSS rules, I have completely darkened all remaining bright elements of my WordPress installation. Here’s the result.

  • Tony Mahoney – [2013] Dark Blue

    Tony Mahoney – [2013] Dark Blue

    Faux antique trip hop. Twenty songs, over one hour of vinyl samples, including dust specks, enhancing the faux antique sound, replaying against the backdrop of subtle modern beats. Great instrumental hip hop with trip hop influences. The tracks are loopy on the surface, but the repetitions slowly evolve time, new samples fading in or out…

    Lorenzo’s Music – [2017] Cool ships and heat exchangers

    (Un)conventional alternative rock. With netlabel blocSonic, it’s hard to not be impressed. I adore how they keep publishing consistently solid to exceptional albums and compilations year after year. The word conventional is meant as a compliment. Although it is not strictly correct: the use of brass instruments and synth sounds clearly is an exception to…

  • stockfinster – [2009] Dead Line

    stockfinster – [2009] Dead Line

    Carefully crafted electronica. This is a gem from now defunct netlabel Sutemos, back from 2009. Artist stockfinster, whom I have reviewed in this blog before, is a household name in the Creative Commons scene, and for a reason. His productions occupy a quiet, warm corner somewhere between New Age ambient and IDM electronica. I like…

  • Antethic – [2017] Ghost Shirt Society

    Antethic – [2017] Ghost Shirt Society

    Electronic post rock greatness. We probably all have heard those drawn-out, long, boring post rock extravaganzas with minutes of continuous distorted guitar sound carpets without sense or measure. This not one of those… Instead, the genre is enriched by upbeat tracks, careful addition of electronic effects and ornamentation. In short: it sounds pretty fresh! Read…
