Ian Hawgood – 朝 (Morning)
I stumbled across Ian Hawgood’s work some months ago, and I ended up quite enjoying it, mainly because of the soft, gentle, natural droning sounds he comes up with. It’s best to read about his methodology below. From his Bandcamp site: “During the first lockdown here in the UK, I Continue Reading
Saba Alizadeh – Rituals Of The Last Dawn
Being an insomniac has some advantages. As is normal for me, I stayed wide awake until 4 a.m. listening to music. While doing so, I came across an album by kamancheh maestro Saba Alizadeh which was so eerily beautiful that I had to suggest it for your perusal. The avant-garde Continue Reading
Lia Bosch – Ever Expanding
Lia Bosch, as I understand it, is a sound composer from Italy who has made an album that feels like the soundtrack to my mind these days. It’s quite a dark listening experience, mixing drones, a sort of 1950s B-movie soundtrack vibe, and post-industrial menace. Quite powerful listening, if a Continue Reading

Nina Kraviz – Treats 001
From Nina Kraviz’s Bandcamp site: “treats is the younger, bratty sister label to trip, specialised in cool music for the dance floor that seems to ignore the idea of genres. To prove this point the first release brings together two tracks that have been roasted in Nina’s sets for months Continue Reading
sanguis – Wounding
From the sanguis Bandcamp site: “Wandinger tries to capture fleeting moments – all tracks are unedited first takes, some recorded only with his phone in various places, from a friend’s flat in Neukölln to his family home in rural Bavaria. Background noises become a part of the music and create Continue Reading
Stimming – Alpe Lusia
Stimming is a German artist who has composed some of the best minimal dance music I’ve heard in some time. This is precisely what would drag me onto the dancefloor these days.
