Stunning IDM by TETARISE not to be missed!

"We know not what is good until we have lost it."

Have you ever analyzed the past or asked yourself: "What if...?" Unsaid words, unfinished deeds, hopelessly lost time - all of it is like an echo with a delay fading into compressed and distorted reverberation. Youâd wish to press "hold" and crash the memories into pieces once and for all.



"k.a.m.a." is an attempt to recreate certain episodes of my past. Various memories come to thought â some are good, some arenât. They are partial, blurred and fullfilled with the imagination. That's why almost half of them are garbled and seem more like a dream rather than reality. Most usual and common episodes become warmer and enlightened, even can cause joy or a smile. Significant events resemble miracles in the darkness of everyday life.



The first track "Locked Deep Inside" is a preamble. It's like I'm rummaging the closet, throwing away the rubbish and stumbling upon a music box. Its melody is like something that passed away long ago. Slowly it grows into something bigger, breaking the borders of past and present, reality and fantasy."


I found this one on another blog. The artist and the netlabel (Silent Flow) are both new to me. These songs are really good. It has elements of older Autechre, but only if they'd decided to dabble around in the sort of panning effects that psytrance producers use- and then sprinkled the whole thing with a melancholia similiar to any emotional music you can think of-- it's all in here. Beautiful stuff-- sad, happy, trippy, and complex. That's my best description- which leaves it still mostly undescribed---

Triple disc electronica on SUTEMOS

Three discs-- Sleep, Play, and Think...

The "Play" disc is one good track after another-- Leon Somov, Sleepy Town Manufacture, even Ulrich Schnauss to name just a few...

"Sleep" of course, has the dreamier numbers--  and "Think" is abstract and complex, even noisy at times. It even comes with a folder full of these cool pictures!

VIA ARCHIVE.ORG:    After releasing the second volume of Intelligent Toys series we said to ourselves that it is probably the last one in the series. Just because we thought that it is impossible to beat the quality we have created ourselves. And after that we released third volume. Fourth volume wasn’t long to come. And every time we thought the same. Although not all of them were better than previous ones (for some of our fans first volume still remains the best).

So it‘s no surprise that this time we also think that it is impossible to make a better compilation. As the matter of fact we aren‘t sure about the sixth volume. The reason still remains the same. But this time we have prepared even three hours of various music. As usual we offer you to download all of our intelligent toys and pick the ones that best fit your mood, taste and weather outside your window.

It still remains a mystery for the artists, journalists and for some of our listeners how Sutemos manage to gather so many famous electronic music artists and give their music away FOR FREE. Fifth volume of Intelligent Toys is featuring 39 tracks which were selected from more than 100 pretenders. As the matter of fact we can create couple of awesome compilations from everything that is left. This time we serve you probably the biggest number of highly acclaimed artists that aren‘t collaborating with any of the net labels and who thought that giving their music away for free is stupid. Until now.



In this volume you will hear famous German artist AGF which recently produced Ellen Alien‘s "Sool" album. We are also delighted that Ulrich Schnauss – an artist has agreed to share his track with you. As usual we just can‘t help inviting our own, Lithuanian artists – Leon Somov, Few Nolder and IJO. We hope that you will also enjoy Yagya – a cute dub techno celebrity from distant Iceland, crazy Funckarma brothers (it seems that they just can‘t stop making music – 7 different monikers and more than 10 albums in their discography) and intelligent Finnish composer – Vladislav Delay.



This time we also decided to add bonus to our pure Lithuanian virtual gallery – you can download a music video of Sleepy Town Manufacture‘s "O Nei" track. This music video was made by no_joy whose art has already because a solid part of our releases. It took more than three months to draw everything by hand and turn to animate it.

Antiscarp Records in Finland...

If you like Sphongle or Loop Guru-- this is worth a listen. I've played it probably 4 times in the last 36 hours-- one track has nice female vocals and the samples are interesting and very psychedelic-- great production and it never gets old or monotonous...

Finnish netlabel Antiscarp Records is now a Beatport label, but they have an enormous back catalog of free mp3 music that rivals some of the best of any commercial psytrance/electronic music you will ever find--

So, pour an extra deep glass of wine and make sure your speakers are far enough apart. You are about to embark on a sonic adventure into colorful sound!

http://cid-7ae008a32f8420c1.skydrive.live.com/browse.aspx/.Public/28%5E_Sora%5E_-%5E_Suppea%5E_Alaista%5E_Lifestyle%5E_Musiikkia%5E_vol1?view=details

Yeah- it's a bizarre link- I wish Antiscarp would upload to archive.org- they would get more exposure- which they very much deserve! Psytrance can be very cookie-cutter in design- but Antiscarp breaks all molds!! Their releases are fresh, original, trippy and danceable- the best of all worlds!

If you have an itch for more of these wild sounds-- check out their website here-- http://www.antiscarp.com/online_releases.html

ORGANIC CIRCUITRY by EKTOPLAZM

Conceived as a celebration of the vibrant diversity of the global psychedelic trance underground, Organic Circuitry features an exotic blend of new school Goa trance, fat and funky full-on, pumping progressive, and deeply enchanting downtempo. Although differing in their approach, the songs of Organic Circuitry are united in their common emphasis on the power of melody to convey ideas and emotions. Every track shimmers with colour and light--fantastic stories waiting to be told.

Get your summer started with some psychedelic trance--   http://www.archive.org/details/EKTVA01

Sound Tribe Sector 9... 1999

From the wiki----

"STS9's music resists easy classification. One helpful analogy is to the title track of the Miles Davis album Nefertiti, where the rhythm section essentially replaces the melodic instruments as the driving improvisational force. In the same way STS9's compositions and improvisations (especially from the early part of their career) are driven by their drummer and percussionist, often against a static melody repeated by the guitarist/keyboardist. This is keeping with the tradition of much drum and bass music, which often features complicated drum patterns under relatively simple melodies and harmonies. Despite the harmonic simplicity of much of their work they are capable of a high level of rhythmic sophistication."

NIELS JENSEN 77 -- PLAY LOUD OR NOT AT ALL--

With his "77" LP Niels proves that his roots are in the Techno scene, with his former releases on wellknown labels like Mental Groove (Remix for DJ Rush!) or Speaker Attack. His Tracks are fastpaced in bpm and introduce tight bassdrums and the ultimate livekick on Thinner. It's not difficult to notice that Niels works samplebased with two Yamahs SU700s, as the songs sound structured like live arrangements. And this also the place where his cuts are best used - hybrid dance tools for the pro clubbers.

This stuff has serious thump-- dubby and driving, with just enough tech... Try track 2, called "Threedom" which descends into complex beatwork. A great track for broad-minded dubstep DJs...

GRAVIDADE ZERO mixes by AZELPDS

So... this DJ in Portugal does a podcast called Zero Gravity (Gravidade Zero) which features an hour long mix, and he does these shorter ones, 15 to 30 minutes in length, with only a few songs.
As for tracklisting-- lots of experimental electronica, shoegaze, old school alternative, modern bands that need to be heard, and just the right touch of pre-Manson gothic- very impressive musical knowledge and a good ear for music-- an INCREDIBLE ear for music actually- because every new song you hear will have you scrambling for the tracklist- to find out what you just heard.

I can't say enough about Azelpds... just listen to some of his mixes!!

The one I chose is #25 and features a broad spectrum of sounds- covering a little bit of everything. This is hardly the best one- but a great overview, none the less.

01. Alone Together - Komoriuta


02. Keep Away From Heat - Heavy Metal Birds

03. Apparat - Useless Information

04. Sigur Rós - Hoppípolla

05. The Tear Garden - Romulus and Venus

06. Say Hi - We Lost the Albatross

07. Frightened Rabbit - Poke

08. Jane's Addiction - Three Days

09. Love & Rockets - No Big Deal

10. The Jesus & Mary Chain - UV Ray

11. Metric - Ending Start

12. Pretty Girls Make Graves - Holy Names

13. Nancy Sinatra - Bang Bang (My Baby Shot Me Down)

14. U2 - The Ocean

Worth it for the Sigur Ros > Tear Garden segue alone!!

Sounds like the most perfect radio station in the world...

Intelligent Chill via MELYVARAZS

I haven't heard a bad mix by this dj yet... very good with mood creation and holds an atmosphere extremely well. Phalanx has posted a plethora of sessions on the archive- it will be worth your time to listen to a few of them. Play it when you have guests- they will ask you "what is this we're listening to?"

Mystical and deep- very visual. It never "cheeses out" as most Chill does and ends up making the genre suffer as whole. The Melyvarazs mixes have set a new standard of excellence...

Spring is in the air...

Spring is in the air... Dub is in the air...

Endwise and k1Lka are two serious DJs laying down the Dub Techno atmospherics... this is music for journeys. It has a jazzy/vocal start, which is different from the others I've heard- but rises into the sky soon after. They waste no space and the mixing/layering is exactly where it should be. Very contemplative music that will relax or excite you- it can go either way. Perfect!

The lovely blue scenery is from a Buchtal ad circa 1982...

Veering off in a completely different direction from many previous posts-- this music really IS as old as it looks- recorded from 1918 through the 1920s... crackly old Hawaiian music as preserved from 78 records.

Make yourself a fruity beverage and kick back...

Excellent release from the now-defunct Autoplate label, which was the quieter, more mellow side of Thinner. This one is short, and it's easy to play over and over... highly recommended!

The shimmering world of Ian D Hawgood

"Fire rushes across the mountain. Its beautiful, and its all around me now. But the fire will die at night and I will realise that I am alone, remembering the way things used to be. This night has come too soon."

Ian D Hawgood 03/11/07 00:45

4 tracks of enormous beauty are presented by Ian D Hawgood on "The Fire Will Die At Night". With great soundscapes and multiple layers of different soundsources, this EP catches you and leaves you with a soft shiver over your back. Ian creates a warm and gentle ambience with soft glitches, some percussions, beats and wide spaces. All woven together very, very subtley.

Enjoy this great piece of music on the border between ambient and electronica.

I avoided this artist's work for a while- only because he is so wildly popular, and the people who reviewed it were just gushing tooooooo much, which was puzzling to me-- but slowly, his sound started to sink into my psyche-- which may be the only way it works-- S L O W L Y --- like the music itself...

Piles and piles of processed guitars with other instruments and sounds...

Give it a listen-- even if it doesn't work for you first time around, it will no doubt leave a subtle impression and will leave you wondering what a second listen may be like- and then a third--

Here it is, the new generation of Ambient http://www.archive.org/details/rb016

This music may be dangerous for driving or operating heavy amchinery. You've been warned!

MORE dark ambient sound manipulation

In all its droning, static-drenched, doom, and glory-----    http://www.archive.org/details/ca284_ip

It reminds me of DEAD VOICES ON AIR, just without the spooky vocal bits (the dead voices), but the ambience and mood is similiar. Nice electronic winter sounds...

Starting the year off with some lovely Dark Ambient Drone music

It sounds like it looks... slow and dark, with distant echoes of sounds and layers of unsettled thoughts... epic and cavernous, mystical, frightening, deep-- play it late at night while gazing out the window at a silent street.

It is the sound of ghosts passing by you in a unlit hallway....

The feeling that you're being watched begins here: http://www.archive.org/details/ca173_fr

HAPPY NEW YEAR everybody!
