Heathered Pearls - Body Complex can't believe I let this project pass me by all this time. clear descendent of Wolfgang Voigt & other Kompakt legends, album feels like it's riding the same vapor trails as Burger/Ink or Dettinger, mellow & propulsive & deeply atmospheric

Zum Goldenen Schwarm - Aufgang blasting this lesser known release from Traumprinz/Prince of Denmark/DJ Metatron/DJ Healer/Prime Minister of Doom/etc. cavernous, melodic dub techno falling deep into a spacey abyss, more focused & succinct than usual

Happy birthday, John Coltrane. It's wild to think that I'm now almost three years older than he ever got to be, especially when I listen to towering masterpieces like Ascension

Planet Uterus - Blue Turtle I've been kinda obsessed with this hourlong joint from the latest Traumprinz project. utterly stunning material, brighter and more playful than a lot of his work, but infused with that same inimitable atmosphere

Crown and Country s/t deep combination of dub techno and Aboriginal storytelling, a sung / spoken word adventure into the dark. Warlpiri philosopher Wanta Jampijinpa Pawu-Kurlpurlurnu's voice surrounded by lush Rhythm & Sound adjacent production.. beautiful to hear.

Eitetsu Takamiya - Silent Dream 🌊 72 min mixtape of Japanese balearic pop, originally released on CD in 2007, now on bandcamp. the most sumptuous, breezy sounds possible. it's been brightening my days all week and I figure some of you might appreciate it too

a601-2 - Shibuya Hypnagogia Rod Modell project. generative hour-long piece meant to soundtrack the shift from waking to sleep, slide your mind into the deep end on the edge of perception. but it's also *amazing* for when you're stressed and just need some peace

Sun Araw - Lifetime just now hopping on the wavelength of this dubbed out brainmelter, can't believe I missed it last year. hypnagogic pop stretched apart like taffy, every track a molten, head-thumping adventure to get lost in
