Diamond Series 006

a1143547427_10

As I am sure many of you know by now, I am a big fan of Ghost Diamonds “Diamond Series”, a collection of mini-releases, each consisting of two tracks by different artists. This formula is quick, refreshing, and they always manage to bring some interesting sounds to the table. This round is no different! Diamond Series 006 is soaked in retro nostalgia, with the second track diving head first into a 50’s Righteous Brothers cover. This was a pleasure to listen to quite a few times, I encourage you to give it a run and check out the rest of the Diamond Series while you’re at it!

Be Whole, by Sound Awakener

a1211301824_10

Another one here from Sound Awakener, Be Whole is a 3 track project of harsh noise and wave experiments. These fluttering drones lead you here and there, and some points taking on an animal-like quality, other times more comparable to the sounds of the environment. It breathes in and out, hissing and sputtering its way from start to finish. Highly recommended for Noise fans, gentle enough for Ambient minds.

Favorite Track: 2. Chapter II

Chapter I with fragments recorded in 2012, reworked in 2013, 2014 and 2015.
Chapter II first recorded in 2014, reworked in 2015
Chapter III recorded in 2015

Virtual Dream Plaza

a4115597212_10

Towards the end of June, Virtual Dream Plaza released a triple-threat of longform vapor ambience. The 3 tracks were released individually via Bandcamp, each one measuring in just above half an hour in length. “I Need You”, “Girls Dream Of” and “You and I Forever” each float their way through emotional vaporscapes, wandering around for what seems like ages.

Meta, by Boliden

a3689151565_10

With this album, Chemical Tapes introduces a new series of releases, the Solid Hex series, focusing on beat-heavy music and grooves. Still commanding the signature melodic softness I come to expect from Chemical Tapes, this is an exciting development to see them offering a more broad selection of great music. I am very excited to see what is next for this label.

Favorite Track: 3. Seeds

(DET) n,n-diethyl-t

First in the Solid Hex series of more beat focused releases. Boliden’s debut album entitled Meta. 10 tracks exploring hypnotic lo-fi techno aesthetics.

Ramifications, by Gora Sou

a1287315172_10

Orange Milk Records of Columbus Ohio never fails to bring some supreme goodies to the table, and this time around is no dissapointment. Ramifications is a phenomenal 8-track project from Gora Sou, soaring to melodic heights and churning depths. Sit back and close your eyes, let the inspiration flow into you…

Favorite Track: 3. Fregata 

Germany’s Marc Übel, aka Gora Sou, follows up his fantastic Living XXL album with Ramifications, an increasingly composed and masterful hybrid of ethereal synth abstraction and new MIDI sounds. The music is direct and effortless, seeming to arrive fully formed with few overdubs, even if we know that not to be true. In fact each instance of ambiance, rhythmic movement, and pure sound texture is labored over in a conscious effort to emphasize arrangement. According to the artist, Ramifications is about dealing with problems and changes and accepting them as something constructive, opposed to looking back all the time.

Claymation Playstation, by うつ病

a1371754829_10

Welcome Beauty Sounds hits us with another twisted masterpiece in the form of Claymation Playstation. Otherworldly melodies are the backbone of this diverse album, which is a relaxing journey perfect for any afternoon session.

Favorite Track: 12. Water Room

Marijuana-midi-mixtape. Non-sample blunt vapor island escape for your wildest dreams to blaze up in. Claymation Playstation is a plastic beat tape consisting of original weed midi funks to listen to on shuffle and repeat. Peace.
