Something a bit funky from Kyoto Jazz Massive, whose name popped into my mind while completing Christmas shopping. Don’t ask.

[Podcast] ‘Winter lends an me an ear’ by Klankschap
Winter lends an me an ear by Klankschap on Mixcloud
Christophe Ywaska, a rather good experimental musician, did me the kindness of turning me on to Klankschap’s most recent podcast. Well-balanced ambient music for a rather cool evening in Los Angeles.
[Video] Venetian Snares – Ultraviolent Junglist
I can’t say I follow much IDM anymore (or EDM, Breakcore, or whatever the name the genre passes itself off as this week), but I’m really enjoying Venetian Snares tearing up the computer speakers right now.
[Podcast] A Miscellany of Tasteful Music – 02-02-2014
A Miscellany of Tasteful Music – 02-02-2014 by Rudy Carrera on Mixcloud
Ten tracks from all over the world. This week, we start with a cheesy-listening number from Italy, some Acid Jazz from Austria, Brazilian Psychedelia, Indie from England, Ambient music from both Italy and Canada, Rock-In-Opposition from Belgium, Turkmenistani percussion-prog, an operatic piece from the Volga River (there’s a hint!), and a little bit of Mambo to wrap things up. For more on us, visit our page at http://amiscellany.info or friend me personally at my personal Facebook site and make comments or suggestions!
[Podcast] Broad Church Mix Forty Five
Broad Church Mix Forty Five by Sonic Cathedral on Mixcloud
A stunningly good podcast by Sonic Cathedral featuring Krautrock, shoegaze music, electronic music and some simply beautiful tracks.
[Podcast] Beneath The Valley
Beneath The Valley by Miss Phi 1.61803399 on Mixcloud
Though I don’t know the host personally outside of comments back and forth, Miss Phi 1.61803399 has a stunningly good ear for dub, jungle, drum & bass and Reggae. Click her name and see what she’s offering – it’s quite a varied bag, all of high quality!
[Video] Naturalist vs Che-Mariskos – Detoxicator Che
Russia-based musician Neizvestnost has an impressive side project that reminds one of a dark, trance-like melding of Tangerine Dream at their prime and old-school techno. I look forward to hearing more from this side-project.
[Song] D R O S E R A – Sun’s Moons
According to the bio attached to the Soundcloud page, Patrick Browning (D R O S E R A) is influenced by bands like Boards of Canada and The Chameleons. THAT, folks, is good taste.
You can find a bit more information here at the AMOT… Wiki.
[Radio] Music And Politics – Skopje
One of my old friends, Toni Dimitrov, runs one of the most interesting radio shows in Macedonia for experimental music, electronica and minimal techno. Check it out at your leisure at his Blogspot page.
A direct link to his current show on the Moroccan music scene can be found at his Soundcloud account:
[Podcast] Ultima Thule #901
Ultima Thule #901 by Ultima Thule Ambient Music on Mixcloud
Part of my daily e-mail ritual consists of sorting through scores of podcasts I want to spend the day (or evening) listen to. This particular one is a real treat, as the music is deep ambient music, perfect for working late nights. If you enjoy the work of people like Steve Roach, Robert Rich, Vidna Obmana or Alio Die, among others, Ultima Thule will make for rewarding listening!
