Smigonaut
Smigonaut’s latest EP ‘New Escape’ brings a pleasing melodic melange and a nonchalant swing into bass music - a rather unique sound that the Boston-based electronic artist is well-known for.
Striking a highly refined balance between the experimental ingredients and a solid 2&4 stomp, this three-track trip combines exciting sonic elements in a manner that will send you shimmying across the floor and at the same time, never leave you lacking for low-end. Intelligent, sensitive, groovy and energetic, ‘New Escape’ is one of the hottest EPs to drop in the left-field neuro bass sonic sector this year.
LIL FISH
French music producer and beatmaker LIL FISH is somewhat a different kind of fish in the vast sea of electronic musicians. With 3 albums and several remixes under his belt, the artist is attuned to creating organic trip-hop inspired tunes with a surrealistic touch that comes from his love for nature.
For me, the music of his latest album ‘Organic conjures up visions of exploring a forest, a feeling of adventure, and being lost and found at the same time. Give this a listen and discover for yourself the untold stories that your soul seeks to tell.
Syntheshwara
'Syntheshwara' signifies the intelligence that resides in all electronic music equipment. In 'Roots Vol. 2', the Bangalore based artist and beatmaker invokes this 'deity of sound and synthesis' which he created for his own home studio: "the Temple of Sound", and explores an interesting sonic space by sampling mesmerizing Indian melodies over laid-back beats. His 'workflow' truly lives up the to 'flow' part of the word, as the entire album was done in 24 hours, in one take, with no re-edits or re-arrangements. The ‘Roots’ series is equivalent to a refreshing dip in a lake, or a peaceful trek in the mountains.
Seb Taylor : Kaya Project/Hibernation
The past year and a half have been a busy time for UK based composer Seb Taylor. While producing a prolific output of music, Seb took some time out to share his music-making process, some “behind the music” thoughts, highly interesting, inspiring and/or humorous stories, and his insights on life as a musician.
Featured here are two releases in particular: ‘body.mind.soul’ and ‘Organic Technology’, and furthermore, what drives him to make such seemingly diverse yet integrated sounding records that bring out his own unique expression. To top it all off, his light-hearted honesty, invaluable perspective, and last but not least, modest musical genius make this Innerview a truly fun and inspiring one.
Erothyme
In 'Steep Dreams’, the latest album from Bobby West aka Erothyme we find ourselves swimming through a lush undergrowth of sublime sonic awe that consists of graceful glitches and grunts, tender melodies and caressing synths with an underlying foundation of electroclassical euphoria.
Mindex
Sonic cyborg and bonafide reality fabric manipulator Mindex has released his latest musical innovation with his new EP ’Logic Board Music’, a sonic canvas that expounds new imaginary humanoid worlds. In this journey through electro-etheric cyber-space, he explores the possibilities of virtual reality through sound in a manner that even Dave Tipper would highly approve
