Very few artists that I know of are as enthusiastic and enterprising about their music and life’s mission as Symbolico. The soul-child project of Or-Ron Stern from Israel, the Symbolico sound is a surreal amalgamation of ambient vibes that bear the promise of magic and mystery, with groovy tribal rhythms which take us back to the humble developmental beginnings of human culture and cutting edge technological production.

Amon Tobin is an auditory ninja who can freeze, flow or even evaporate sound, transfiguring it in unnatural ways. The inventive producer has been at the forefront of cutting edge productions spearheaded by his signature cybernetic sounds of the future. He can make drum and bass with a toaster, or glitch with a guitar. The question for him seems to be not 'Why?’ but rather, “Why Not?”, and he will go to any lengths to understand the world around us and the true nature of sound, especially if it means having to push the boundaries of the same.

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.



From the vibrant lands of Hawaii, the eclectic duo known as ‘Medisound’ bring us their debut release ’So Blessed’, a collection of electro-spiritual sonnets that are intended to uplift, heal and nourish the soul through carefully crafted instrumental arrangements and a radical production framework that support the raw lyrical profundity of the vocals. This ingenious work of art ushers the ancient world of medicine music in a modern direction by fusing a festive energy with an organic world-fusion sound

Inter-genre audio-chef Somatoast has released a new piece of sublime electronica called ‘Dreamhop Jazzytime’ where he whimsically explores the spaces between psychedelic soul, jazz-hop and funk-bass to cook up a work of organic Idm that is equally timeless as it is ludicrous.

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

Marcel Umberg aka Martin’s Garden has released an ode to the oceans titled ‘Below' on ‘Aquatic Collective’. Invoking emotions of awe, mystery and a sense of exploration in a masterful manner, ‘Below’ is a must-listen for ocean lovers to amplify their affinity to the vast blue bodies and for those unfamiliar with its depth to undertake a journey of adventure and discovery

Once described as "harnessing the rational to illuminate the transcendental”, the Hedflux project was born in 2004 with the intention to create high energy electronic dance music based on breakbeat grooves with a psychedelic aesthetic.

Kukan Dub Lagan is the project of Itay Berger. His unique music style can be best described as psy-chill free dub.

A veteran of the chill out scene and one it’s main propagators, Itay has harnessed nature’s own harmonic oscillators through his machines and mind to create a sentient, minimal ambient journey. 

The ‘downtempo-psy’ genre contains some subtle yet impactful musicality. Case in point: the album in focus today: "Messages From The Resonator” by the dynamic duo of the chillout scene Globular and Geoglyph. Some of the most exciting stuff in music is happening in this very sonic ecosystem.

Here is my effort to dive into the mind of Psy dub maestro and humble genius Ott and absorb just a little of the vast fields of sonic soul that he possesses.
