There was a time I was heavily into the very good but horribly named Intelligent Dance Music (IDM) especially if it was tinged with Ambient. I would buy everything on the Warp label whether is was Black Dog or any … Continue reading Three For Listening Too With Your Eyes Closed
A much more gentler affair today spent listening to (and buying!) experimental electronica and ambient. Deary have remixed last years The Moth single delivering two different interpretations with the Pump Mix and the Chrysalis Mix. The former is full of … Continue reading Tales from the Eostre Sessions #2
I listened to quite a lot of electronica in 2024 focussing on labels such as Móatún 7, Neotantra, Secuencias Temporales, Archives, Inner Symphony and Steyoyoke. That said music from the first four labels does not feature greatly on this list … Continue reading Records I Like – Best of 2024 #2 (Electronica)
There has been so much attention grabbing music released over the past six weeks or so that many did not make the cut for this months mix. Rather than let them just sit there I cobbled thirteen tracks, unlucky for … Continue reading Records I Like Mix – October 2024 Extra Trax

It’s not all indiepop, dreampop, jangle pop, noise pop and post-punk on the RIL stereo as some posts may suggest. I give techno the occasional mention, but what area of music I am getting back to of late into is … Continue reading The Sunday Ambient Saunter
This week’s pack of three features three hot off the press new tracks. Blume – All Out Of... I have been a fan of Alberta based Blume’s blend of drone, Krautrock and psychedelia for some time now. The lengthy new … Continue reading Something For The Weekend – Three New Tracks
Back in January I mentioned that Fairground, Deary’s debut single, reminded me of big beat and trip hop. Well, they have only gone and solidified that opinion by getting Saint Etienne, and their collaborator Augustin Bousfield, in to remix the … Continue reading Deary – Fairground (Saint Etienne meet Augustin Bousfield at the Top of Town Mix)
