Avilente
Berlin-based Avilente’s ‘Along The Shores Of An Infinite Memory’ takes us through a poetic and pensive passage of ideas of universal karmic memory, akashic libraries and quantum physics alike. Believing in the premise that “As conscious beings, we receive and give back into this ocean of memory and this cycle repeats endlessly”, this ambient downtempo journey is a sonic visualization of standing and drifting back and forth along the shorelines of the infinite cosmic memory.
Zen Baboon
Zen Baboon’s latest release Hidden Frogs is an aural bouquet of sublime harmonies, tantalising melodies, caressing ambiences and silky beats, all of which present to us a perfect paradox of flawless glitchy goodness. Tiptoeing between classical glitch, trip-hop, chillout and techno, all with a subtly psychedelic touch as mild yet seductive as a micro-dose of Lucy on a warm summer’s day in nature, the music occasionally evokes feelings that are reminiscent to traversing through Parisian rues or a quaint Lisbon alley in an alternate sur-reality. Zen Baboon’s work has always been one of a kind, rich in feeling, spontaneous, sentimental, sympathetic and with a strong storytelling sense. This record is no different as you are anachronistically transported through several layers of nostalgic moods and musical topographies that leave you enamoured by this delightful musical courtship.
Pan Electric
Pan Electric’s "Music For a Busy Head 2” is the follow up album that comes 2 decades after its predecessor and turns out to be an essential ambient work with a strongly growing relevance with every passing moment that the modern human being spends alive. The music makes it’s presence powerfully felt without the need to impose upon the ears, and emphasises on two of the most the most underestimated yet essential musical tools, space or silence and dynamics, by entwining ambient textures with the versatile palettes of the guitar. Of all the sounds that would be bouncing around in your cranium lately, this record unassumingly catches your attention and denotes the acme of ambient music as of 2020. Give yourself the gift of cleaning up your auditory headroom with this sympathetic ambient symphony.
Bluetech
Imagine yourself as an explorer who, while swimming in the absolute depths of the ocean, discovers an advanced Atlantean civilisation thriving on the seabed. That’s when the latest Bluetech album ‘Underwater Cities’ cues in, and submerges you in a blissful confluence of modular mastery, sublime subaquatic arpeggios and aquifers of analog goodness. The prolific producer only finds more creativity and strength in his self-imposed limitation, and this record is a conceptual gem that acknowledges certain electronic influences from the past while maintaining the melodic endearment to his classical roots, and most importantly diving deep into the infinite waters of what the future of music holds.
Man of no ego
An enigmatic figure in the ambient music scene, Man Of No Ego is an artist who reflects the essence of yoga through his music by unifying spirituality with sound to convey the universal message. This highly befitting union offers a soul cleansing listening experience to the observer till they become one with what is being observed.
