The final record by the duo of trumpeter Jamie Branch and her longtime collaborator, percussionist Jason Nazary. Rest in peace Jamie. Anteloper is a particularly genre-defying project from the seemingly limitless creativity and improvisation of Jamie Branch. This group in particular is characterized by both musicians […]
Low Air is a long awaited record, at least for me. Jeremy is best known as the longtime live drummer for Animal Collective and Dan Deacon. He’s also a member of two different art rock groups that were formative to me, Ponytail and Slasher Flicks. I […]
The self-titled debut by Nairobi duo Duma is an incredible industrial electronic album, and perhaps the most essential trap metal record to be made outside of America. Producer Sam Karugu and vocalist Lord Spikehart have made this wonderful record that’s so many things. There’s a lot of pure noise that will satisfy even the most […]
This is a wonderful and often ambient record with an occasionally chamber music vibe, contrasted against bold drum programming and commanding vocals. This Spanish trio consisted of (now well-known) ambient producer/guitarist Suso Saiz and percussionist Pedro Estevan, later joined by Estevans then partner María Villa performing […]
There’s a lot I love in the discographies of both LA based new-age improviser Carlos Niño and NYC producer/keyboard/synthesist Photay.

This album from Beijing producer Howie Lee continues the jazz influenced sound of his previous two records while continuing his unique style of experimental bass/dance music with traditional Chinese influences. Birdy Island builds upon the cleaner, less distorted sounds of the previous LP 7 Weapons Series […]
This is a sparkling, synth fueled experimental pop record that marks the solo debut of Russian singer/multi-instrumentalist Kate NV. At the time she was well known as the singer for Russian indi/new wave group Glintshake, and in the years since this debut has continued to find […]
Exit Planet Dust is the debut studio album by our favorites and yours, psychedelic/dance legends The Chemical Brothers. It’s probably become their most underrated record over the past few decades. Even people who don’t know the music know the name but not enough folks know this […]
One of the tightest duos of all time only gets tighter on their newest record. Mong Tong has always released cutting edge albums of future forward folk fusion and Sun Moon Darkness is no exception. It is a little groovier than some of their more experimental/new […]
Known primarily for his critically acclaimed video game soundtracks, Japanese producer and DJ Soichi Terada has been moving dancefloors for more than thirty years. I first heard of him when I attended a live show and was deeply moved by his intricate, sophisticated house music with […]
