/Tekno, Techno, Club dance, Remix, Minimal, Progressive, Minimal/

Comment: A 4-track brainchild of this profilic Spanish-based club music gearhead reflects upon those dodges and beat manipulations so characteristic to the middle period of 00`s. However, it is an example of bouncing yet minimally fluttering, repeated shapes-relied techno-tekno blended sets, which is intersected by progressing, acid-filled synth brooding at times (Mikro Punto). On the other side, though, it is an insertion into more elemental and warped, spaciously blasting avant-techno realms, for instance through the Catkin Bay Remix of the track Mikro Punto by Jesse Somfay.

/Experimental, Hip-hop, Avant-garde, Psychedelic/

Comment: After his high-acclaimed debut issue SKYBASE (2008) Dockta Valkus is back with his 6 new tracks within 16 minutes, making collaboration with Mighty Vega whose hectic MC-ing makes potently sense in front of a background built on outer space-looking samples, mystically profound, abyss-arrived bass beats, all in all, making the EP out as a remote species from the chart-appealing rap music, moreover, embodying as a kind of ideal hip-hop paces on its own.

Dark van Galaxy - Ekania (2011)

Tunguska Electronic music Society - Tunguska Chillout Grooves vol. 3 (Lilith & Selena)

Jamendo

7.7

/Electronic pop, Psyambient, Chillout, Psytrance, New Age, Downtempo/

Comment: This compilation consists of two albums (Lilith; Selena), having the total length more than 2 hours. I love ARGONIKA`s track Do You Hear, which makes difference with a fine robot pop. Or Alexander V. Mogilco (feat. JAMA)`s soul notch tuned New Age-drenched mix. In the most part, however, it is a kind of middle-tempo swaying on soothing and burbling synths and synthesized flute passages. By the way, the beautiful coverprint as well.

Comment: It has always been a big pleasure to listen to the Exeter-based improvisational folk groups, mainly concentrated on around a band named as Children Of The Drone. Here is a set of 20 songs, relied upon meditative, improvised raga tunes, restrainted drone folk, played upon bass, violin, vocal improvisations and occasional bouzouki and percussion interventions (tablas) plus burning chestnut logs recorded at a cottage in the Broad Oak valley, near Canterbury (UK), January-February 2011.

/Electro, Club dance, Breakbeat, Sound collage, Lo-fi/

7.6

Comment: This is a Cristiano Crisci`s set of 6 tracks having basically drifts between dirty, lo-fi-esque electro paces and brooding breakbeats, being spiced up with speech samples, old school video game music-alike snippets, MC-ing, and even haunting, near-noise reverbs and undercurrents at times.
