This is cool semi-ambient music from Belfast with an artist name that makes it onto my top producer/band names list with Dumpster Juice and R.E.O. Speed Dealer. II by Arvo PartyStop for the name. Stay for the music. Best regards, Dave Wesley – Lost in Portugal

Drone and lo-fi well before they were a thing. Best regards, Dave Wesley – Somewhere in Northern Portugal

Was reading Huerco S 2017 chart on Boomkat, which includes hilarious non-music entries to throw you off his scent… and I dug to find his listed Caveman LSD track… It rules. My perfect combo of lo-fi post-dub-techno. Artist name fits the mood. Only a few out there and nothing in digital form. I want more. […]

I virtually stumbled upon this great and prolific ambient vaporwave artist on Bandcamp on the first workday of 2018, which I am sure is a great omen for the year. Googling ekoda produces no relevant results. Another mysterious and wonderful aural find. This music is haunting, concise, and specific. I’m in melancholic love. Don’t let […]

Bandcamp has emerged as one of the most effective tools for new music discovery. I follow collections and purchasing habits of some choice taste makers and I’m never disappointed when surfing for new music within their Bandcamp collections. Pavel Milyakov’s Yalta release, on what seems to be an nameless Russian vinyl and digital label, is […]
Maxine Wesley,
Although Basement Revolver doesn’t have a wide range of songs released, they’re definitely a band that has huge potential and deserves more recognition than they’re currently getting. The dreamy female vocals combined with the slow tempo instrumental make for incredibly easy listening, especially if you’re a fan of artists like Angel Olsen or other female-led […]

Looped 16mm film with optical sound – Numerous species of mushroom spore print onto clear film. (Audio features a poem read by Sylvia Plath) A rarity of wonder over at Bleep – only 23 copies of David Chatton Barker’s ‘Dust of Shadows’ will be available. A co-founder of the unique Folklore Tapes label, who have worked […]

This is a rare and fantastic blend of experimental music and techno structures with a striking holism. Bandcamp showed me that Philip Sherburne purchased these bits and bytes, so I checked it out. I shot. I scored. Long live Jesse Osborne-Lanthier. Long live Where To Now? Records, UK. Long live Philip Sherburne. Long live Bandcamp. […]

Earth by Means of the Currents was a series of ten original artworks by Autumn Richardson & Richard Skelton, collaged almost entirely from Evan Hopkins’s ‘On the Connexion of Geology with Terrestrial Magnetism’, and accompanied by two new recordings of voice, strings, tone generators and field recordings. The book is a little hard to find now […]

In the 2000’s, trip-hop was my gateway sonic drug to lo-fi deep dark dub techno and related genres… which have ended up as genre quicksand… engulfing my aural foci ever since. J.K.’s “GEA”… Wo… I haven’t heard anything as corroded, dark, jarring and cool since some of the earlier DJ Krush releases (before he went […]
