Two identities, one artist. Jönsson Tõll is a composer who is based out of Portugal. This release features some of his own work, plus more under his working monicker, Mauno Koivisto. Of of the most beautifully bleak techno albums I’ve heard in ages.

[Music] Jonáš Gruska – Nočné oscilácie pre jedného
Jonáš Gruska is a composer out of Slovakia who works in the medium of electroacoustic music, only using updated techniques. Lots of glitch, loops, and drones make for some very engaging compositions.
[Music] Lawrence English – Approaching Nothing — music won’t save you
LAWRENCE ENGLISH – Approaching Nothing (Baskaru, 2016) Non della sola costruzione di cattedrali di suono attraverso il trattamento elettronico di drone è fatta l’arte di Lawrence English, ma di una ricerca a tutto tondo degli aspetti percettivi di un universo di impulsi auditivi originati da fonti concrete e catturati in maniera più o meno accidentale. […]
[Music] 45 Brothers – Showtime b/w The Zone — Flea Market Funk
It’s good to see a 45 like “Showtime” by 45 Brothers come out. With a B Boy mindset and a definite hip hop pedigree, this forty five, no doubt is strictly for my breakers, my uprockers, and my people that want to get down. Like seriously get down. High octane and tempo with plenty of […]
[Music] Steve Jansen – Slope
Steve Jansen is best remembered for his work playing percussion for New Wave darlings Japan, but has gone on to making more sophisticated jazz/ambient recordings not unlike the music Talk Talk was making near their swansong.
[Music] Alexander Kopeikin – Split Second
The Carrera-Linn Cultural Exchange is proud to announce a release by Russian experimental music composer Alexander Kopeikin. Split Second is a tour-de-force of music influenced by early experimental music, granual experimentation and Industrial music in the vein of early Throbbing Gristle and Current 93.
[Music] Sonologyst & Kshatriy – Time Is The Enemy
The ever-amazing catalog of Attenuation Circuit Records out of Germany continues to expand. Their latest, a collaboration between Sonologyst & Kshatriy, is a wonderful blend of ritualistic music and black ambient. Perfect listening with coffee (black, naturally).
[Music] The Rare Recordings of Pauline Oliveros, Jerome Rothenberg and More — Bandcamp Daily
New Wilderness Audiographics, a US-based label founded by 75-year-old composer/poet Charlie Morrow, hasn’t released music for over three decades, but the label has just unloaded digital versions of 40 rare, mostly unknown cassettes.

[Music] Various Artists – Nightingales & Canaries, Vol. 1: “Oriental” Women on Record, New York & Istanbul, 1928-55
https://bandcamp.com/EmbeddedPlayer/album=3272306330/size=large/bgcol=ffffff/linkcol=0687f5/transparent=true/New York City was home to a vibrant musical scene filled with singers from Anatolia, Istanbul and the region of Roumelia. Christians and Jews joined together in making some rather bawdy music.
This treasure was released by Ian Nagoski’s Canary Records, a label filled with some absolute gems.
[Music] Flying Hórses – Tölt
https://bandcamp.com/EmbeddedPlayer/album=13310399/size=large/bgcol=ffffff/linkcol=0687f5/package=4294530313/transparent=true/
Flying Hórses are one of those bands who give me hope that post-rock will continue to grow, mutate and keep developing wonderful strains in their genre. This Canadian troupe had help from the likes of Nicolas Petrowsky (Godspeed You! Black Emperor) who mixed this album, and Birgir Jón Birgisson of Sigur Rós, who mastered it.
