Hu Zi & Wang Juan - Gemini Trip

Transport yourself to a deep sea chillout vibe of grand proportions. Sweet chinese vocals lay softly above electronic beats complimented by an array of instrumentation. The album consumes the listener with ease takign them from a physical position to that of emersion in another world. Sounds spin and swirl around you while the vocals lay focus on your mind and keep you wanting more.

Boards of Canada - Music Has The Right To Children

Smootm ambient synths wind in and out, drift through the air an into your ears just as a feather would to your hands. The ambient and earthly sounds are accompanied by glitchy beats that maintain punchy rhythms and hop around electronic bliss.

This is the way to wind down and relax...

Kashiwa Daisuke - 5 Dec.

Gone are the modern classical and organic song structures of Program Music 1. So what comes next for a seemingly accomplished modern composer of reveered underground success? Daisuke has opted for the electronic side of the coin, and on this, his third full length he brings a contrast of sonic temptation for the music geek.

The album is, save from piano, an exhibition in electronic and glitch with heavy overtones and erratic beats. Often Daisuke weilds an assault of guitar solos - you'd think he'd spent his time away from the studio listening to nothing but Omar Rodriguez Lopez. Despite this his solos are harsh but well placed to display his craft as he balances out this beat laden almost glitch-core album with some beautiful pieces of manipulated piano-tronica sounding tracks.

Overall it is a departure from what we are familiar from Daisuke, but it marks a turning point for him and one that is well timed to bring him into a new phase of his already illustrious discography.

Aus - Antwarps

Dreamy soundscapes are accompanied by breakbeats and idm-esque electronics that create a serene and reflective piece of work. Unlike Kashiwa Daisuke and his narrative style Aus creates music that guides the listener on a journey of themselves - allowing them the freedom to digest the music and see what it envelops the individual in.

Perfect for contemplation, relaxation and reflexive thought - this album slows down the world around you and takes hold of space and time quite literally. Enjoy.
