Oh, man, this is weirdly cool! Mahorka Records brings us Dolphins of Venice and a release that would have fit in a 1982 record run. A touch of Kraftwerk, lo-fi electronic music, underground cassette charm, but updated with a very fresh and well-recorded sound.

sevensy + Roberto Vodanović Čopor – refug3
First, a proper introduction to sevensy, who is a wonderful new name for me: “sevensy (aka Austin Brooks) creates music that facilitates imaginal sojourns; the message is the sound itself. sevensy mixes electronic and natural sounds with processed guitars and acoustic instruments. His musical themes ‘unfold into an unusual landscape – it Continue Reading
Selective Hearing – Cobwebs
Mahorka Records has delivered a hazy, surrealistic piece of music that might not fit neatly into the ambient genre. However, the vibe allows listeners to immerse themselves in a soothing, repetitive groove that’s easy to get lost in. Kudos to Selective Hearing for producing this gem!
Virgo – Novel
Mahorka Records has surprised us with a release that leans less toward experimentation and more toward the style of Sakamoto. Although the talented Japanese artist Virgo is categorized as performing IDM (Intelligent Dance Music), this release is much more elegant than that genre suggests. In fact, it resembles something you Continue Reading
Fletina – Environments & Mechanisms
The only information I can pass on about today’s band, Fletina, is that they recorded their album in Scotland. That’s it, folks. However, because I trust the taste of my friends at Mahorka Records, I gave the release a chance. The ‘music’ strikes a good balance between field recordings and Continue Reading
eardrops – nightfall over concrete
Listening to some of the early masters of electroacoustic music and musique-concrète, it seemed that the goal of the music was to imitate the real world, and certainly, the masters like Pierre Henry, Pierre Schaeffer and François Bayle did so elegantly. Now, in 2025, we have incredibly good digital recording Continue Reading
Christophe Bailleau O’Farrell – Locust bean gum
When I started listening to Christophe Bailleau O’Farrell’s latest EP, titled “Locust Bean Gum,” I was initially taken aback by the abrupt stops and transitions between songs. However, after reflecting on it, I began to feel that this music serves as a soundtrack for fleeting dreams. The band that comes to Continue Reading
Philippe Neau – hORs SoLs
Our friends at Mahorka Records introduce us to yet another brilliant composer. Phillippe Neau masterfully uses nature sounds to paint sonic ‘pictures’ that envelop the listener. From the label’s Bandcamp site: “”I started with sounds from different places: the house, the garden, the workshop, the forest next door in Mayenne, Continue Reading
MadMen Duo – Through the Night
Our dear friends at Mahorka Records continue to surprise and delight us. Their latest release features two musicians, the MadMen Duo (I don’t know where they are from, but they did record these tracks in Bulgaria if I understand correctly) whose music comes off as a wonderfully dark combination of Continue Reading
Christophe Bailleau – Insight and Vision
Before I get to the promotional blurb on the website for Mahorka Records, I can give my thoughts on the album. Christophe Bailleau’s Insight and Vision crosses so many genres that one would think, based on the description, that the music would be unlistenable. Nothing could be further from the Continue Reading
