Jere Häkkinen (Luomuhappo) is from Finland, and produces a rather impressive version of drum & bass.

[Video] Cooper Raines – The Woman in the Mask at the End of the Street
The ever-prolific Qualo Infinity strikes again with another side-project, this one being Cooper Raines. Hazy, surreal, filmic, hypnotizing music, perfect late-night headphone trip music.
[Video] Þverfellshorn – Agnieszka
Simple, and sublime.
Luke Paine, operating under the moniker Þverfellshorn, produces lush pieces in a style reminiscent of Icelandic composer Jóhann Jóhannsson.
A special thanks to Albanian electroacoustic composer Ilir Lluka, who posted this piece originally.
[Podcast] Soviet Jazz By U&1989.
Soviet Jazz By U&1989. by Oto Radio on Mixcloud
OTO Radio from Russia have been providing some amazing listening recently. They’re worth following on your Mixcloud account.
No info on the artists (yet), but if I ever come across any, I’ll post it here and in the comments section.
[Sample] Nühn – Peacetime (More Than A Song)
A real treasure here. Nühn hail from Barcelona, Spain, and cover ground in all kinds of electronica. Here’s the twist: the vocals come off reminding me of a younger Vini Reilly, when The Durutti Column’s music was at its most fragile.
[Video] Cluster and Eno – Für Luise
Sehr Kosmiche…
The duo of Cluster (Hans-Joachim Roedelius and Dieter Moebius) paired with Brian Eno on several albums.
Here’s a slice from the 1977 collaborative LP titled (simple enough) Cluster and Eno.
[Video] Boreal Taiga & 3Music – Piap-Bai
Boreal Taiga is one of the most innovative ambient musicians based in the United States (though he worked out of Norway for some years). 3Music is Viktoriya Natoloka, herself an incredible composer. These two make a fine pairing, stretching the meaning of what ambient music is.
[Article] Aphex Twin: his Soundcloud dump shows how musicians can shock and delight
Love him or hate him, Richard James (Aphex Twin) has been the figurehead of IDM for over two decades now. There is no one more influential (or frustrating at times). This article, written by Stuart Aitken for The Guardian, discusses his current projects and the amazing dump of unreleased material on Soundcloud that is certainly good enough to be collated into a few albums.
[Video] Portishead in Portishead
Portishead, the undisputed kings and queen of Trip-Hop, perform in the hamlet which bears their band name.
[Podcast] ‘Queasy Listening 20150126’ by Cloudy Grey
Queasy Listening 20150126 by Cloudy Grey on Mixcloud
If you are a fan of post-Industrial avant-garde music, Cloudy Grey is going to be mandatory listening for you. Their ‘Queasy Listening’ series is an amazing walk back in time, and is doing a fine job hipping the kids to newer artists as well.
With so many amazing podcasts, it’s time to consider interviewing a few of these people for more exposure.
