New STRFLL double-A single dropped a couple of days ago and I can't get over how amazing it is. Utterly ethereal ambient soundscape "In Memoriam" is contrasted with shoegazing witch-house anthem "Forget", featuring vocals from sleepingprayer. A must for White Ring fans. Both tracks are total bliss. Get them here.
Crossgardens is a new witch house producer that debuted with the video single above, channelling old school witch vibe. More to follow.
Pwin Teaks returns in style with a beautifully twisted and delirious "Wrapped In Plastic". Feels like a return to the early days of Black Lodge with Twin Peaks samples. Stylistically all over the place, with improv sax motis, ghost drone, haunted ballroom ballads, acid-soaked musique concrete, voice modifications - witch house at its finest.

First EP promoting MSV's new album "Cosmic Silver", featuring three version of the titular single. The video edit is probably my fav track here, a bit retro-futuristic take on Mater Suspiria Vision classic witch house sound. The paradise edit is a 14-minute trip trough the previous version that morphs into half gothic half dreamy hypnagogic nightmare. Blue Rita's remix adds a small dose of electro-synth-italo falava, but there's something about it that just doesn't sit right with me.
Get "Paradise" here, and stream it after the jump.
Haunting video single from recent STRFLL's EP "Birds" that came out on Vertigo Cult. Haunted house, water spirit, black birds - it's all here.
Adventures in ambient and sound design from Tokyo-based producer and visual artist Hiroya Tanaka. Six compositions that form "Chimaira" blend city-focused field recordings and AI-generated sounds, painting Tokyo as a desolate, natural reservoir rather than busy metropolis translated through lenses of DeepChord's "Liumin" project a decade earlier. Almost otherworldly record, great stuff.

For Lunar Dust is an alias of experimental producer and musician from Russia. His works spans multiple genres and style, and his latest offering "Mixtape" is a perfect proof of his eclectic approach to songwriting. Lo-fi to the core, the tape is filled with 90s rave elements filtered through grime and grit of underground hip-hop approaches, and then deconstructed all over again. Radical stuff! Recommended.

Those two don't need an introduction, they also did collab in the past, so no wonder the streak continues. Team Isolation beat flipped by Montoya with a verse to match. Can't ask for more, free download too. Grab it here.
Estonian DIY label Trash Can Dance announced today that they are starting to take pre-orders for STRFLL's double-tape compilation of all "Was It All Worth It" mixtapes. I've been a huge fan of all the parts, so it's exciting to see them released in physical format. You can find all the info on Facebook here. Full support!
