In an age of musical exploration where genre matters less and less, Philadelphia’s own SPIRIT OF THE BEEHIVE have managed to carve out their own truly unique little spot. Their most recent album, YOU’LL HAVE TO LOSE SOMETHING, is a real trip and a half, if […]
I love this record by Moin. It’s their third LP and it’s the finest yet. On You Never End the playing, the arrangements, and the inimitable vibe are all thoroughly honed. It’s got that warm, detailed production mixed with a cool emotional atmosphere that many UK electronic/fusion acts […]
This is a record of interesting and danceable electronic tracks from this Taiwanese producer and DJ. It’s thematically futuristic but very contemporary in the way it draws together sounds from flourishing genes like gqom, trance, breakbeat, garage, kuduro and more. I also enjoy that it has […]
A legendary meeting of the minds that got its long overdue release 2023. If you haven’t heard that this collaboration has been cooking, here’s the story. Simeon Coxe and Makoto Kawabata recorded this back in 2009, after Simeon reached out and invited the collaboration. They laid […]
Man, Teeth of The Sea. Even after listening to them for a few years now, I still have absolutely zero idea how to even begin to describe their sound. It’s such a far out trip, driven by krautrock and lush electronic experimentation (in terms of heavy […]

I’ve been a fan of this UK producer since immensely enjoying 2019s “Primed For Primal,” and was eagerly awaiting a full length such as this. It’s beautiful and distinctly Murlo. Their work is very melodic and rhythmically diverse. Free flowing passages are given as much (if […]
Rudiments is Shanghai based producer and multi instructor Goooooses first solo LP since 2019s Rusted Silicone, and in my opinion he’s gotten much better. I like all his work but this is now my favorite. It’s essentially a great solo percussion album made of really rich […]
Early North American by Girlsareshort has to be one of the most amazing buried gems i’ve ever found, upbeat trip-hop with twee and IDM influences, absolute lovely record where every track is cuter than the other. And regardless being such a snappy record it has a […]
It’s another in a long line of excellent and inimitable albums from this Taiwanese duo, and their second for Guruguru Brain. Their signature sample based experimental psychedelic pop has always been evocative of their south Asian surroundings, albeit through a fantastical and heady lens. This one’s […]
