Recently had this one submitted to the blog, boy am I glad it found its way here too! Aeon is a 6 track project from New York based producer Michael Hix. Both enchanting and melancholy, the tracks curl their way around your heartstrings with ease. Some truly relaxing modern classical ambience, highly recommended….

Meta, by Boliden

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
