    Track of the Day #058 – Hibernation – The Fallen Sound

    Hibernation – Second Nature

    Today I’m featuring the new Hibernation album, Second Nature, this time on Interchill Records. Checkout the beautiful artwork too! Big fan of Seb’s first release on Aleph Zero, Some Things Never Change, so I was very excited to hear this release. It’s up on Bandcamp for your purchasing pleasure. Samples are outrageous. Very tight and controlled, bass-heavy, with a few dubstep licks, but tastefully done thankfully. Track of the Day is #5 off the album, “The Fallen Sound.” Grab it!

    Track of the Day #057 – Shulman – The Unexpected Visitor (Zymosis Rmx)

    Zymosis – Between Two Points

    Now here’s something special. Another remix of the Shulman track “The Unexpected Visitor”, off of In Search of a Meaningful Moment. The first one was off of the 2005 Quality Relaxation compilation from Chill Tribe Records, which featured remix work by Carbon Based Lifeforms. The 2nd was on Anahata’s album, The Unmade Sound, which is a fantastic remix. Try to get a hold of it! Good luck finding a physical copy of the link I just provided.

    Track of the Day #057 – Ishq – Evergreen

    Ishq – Bloom

    Here’s something completely out of the blue, a new Ishq compilation! This one is titled Bloom, and is a collection of tracks created over a decade. It’s always good to hear some new stuff from Ishq, even if the tracks aren’t necessarily tied together into album form. As always, grab a hard copy if you can because not only are Virtual‘s releases limited (500 copies for this release), but the packaging and presentation is simply beautiful. Definite collectors items!

    Below is track #2 off Bloom, titled “Evergreen,” and is a collaboration with Jake Stephenson, who Ishq (Matt Hillier) worked with on the Colourform album. Enjoy!

    Track of the Day #056 – Erot – My Life In A Box

    Erot – Mechanical Lifeform EP

    Here’s a rather unfamiliar artist that’s been slowly making a name for himself. Erot is Tore Mortensen from Denmark, and has been releases tracks for 4-5 years now. Probably his most notable release is the Eclipse Remixes EP, on Altar Records. He’s definitely an artist whose stuff you should probably be on the lookout for. Like his newest release, Mechanical Lifeform EP, on Graviton Records. It’s made up of four tracks and it’s a stellar little release. Continue reading…

    Track of the Day #055 – Makyo – Mystic Fire

    Makyo – Purnima

    Just realized I’ve never featured any Makyo track as Track of the Day. That changes today. Makyo (Giovanni Fazio) is an electronic producer heavily focused on world music, specifically Middle Eastern/Indian. That’s not to say that’s the sole focus of his music, but it is very “worldly” and sometimes “other-wordly. His first album, “Rasa Bhava” was released in 1996, so he’s been making for over 15 years. I’m not exactly sure of his place in the psyambient pantheon generally, but in my book he’s definitely at the top of the list.  Continue reading…
