AyGeeTee - Rehabilitation

Andrew Thomson aka AyGeeTee has been part of the broad online music scene for as long as I can remember. With releases on AMDISCS, Reckno, Seagrave and Sweat Lodge Guru among many others, he's been orbiting on the edges of various leftfield electronic scenes, putting out ambient, house, hip-hop, drone, bass and everything in between. A few days ago he announced on his FB page that he's planning to release a bunch of his backlog albums he's been sitting on for years. "Rehabilitation" is the first one to see the light of the day. Made in 2016/17, it was originally scheduled to be released on tape by Reckno but that never happened. As AyGeeTee describes, it's an album written "to get over a tough time, which, unfortunately got a lot worse in the following year before it got better". Twelve tracks of hip-hop ambient tropical folk as he himself tagged it on Bandcamp, the album is an eclectic journey through genres and approaches, jumping between "mainstream underground" takes and more experimental sound design. The final, 12-min long track is a personal favourite. Looking forward to what's next.

LAKE R▲DIO - Before I Fell Off

Caden Moore aka LAKE R▲DIO is back with new album entitled "Before I Fell Off". Seven tracks (or five if you don't purchase it) of his mellow and leftfield electronica injected with a dose of house and tribal vibes. It's not a mind bender, but a good relaxing album nevertheless.

You can download the first 5 tracks for free here, and stream it below.

Romance - Once Upon A Time

Romance is a mystery artist I was recommended a couple of months ago by a fellow Discogger. Fusing ambient, modern classical and vaporwave's take on screw, Romance's releases are quite an enjoyable listen that will make you drift away in thoughts. Yesterday they dropped a new album called "Once Upon A Time", which is a 6-song ambient tribute to the ballads of Celine Dion. Reviewers mention Malibu, pre-vapor OPN and Caretaker in one breath when talking about this tape, so take that as a recommendation. Honestly it's a lovely release, and probably my fav from the batch they put out since 2020.

Art School Girlfriend - I Would Die 4 U

You know, I'm something of a art school boyfriend myself, so seeing this artist pop up on my feed made me click the play button instantly. Art School Girlfriend is the stage name of Polly Mackey, a London based, Welsh singer and producer who last year released her debut LP "Is It Light Where You Are". "I Would Die 4 U" is her latest single that came out in December last year - a warm and smoky chillwave-infused synth-pop for all the hopeless lovers (and Prince fans) out there. It's one of those songs that you hear for the first time and suddenly you feel an urge to check the artist's back catalogue. Love it. Buy it from the link above.

Hilde - All The Floor In Heaven Is Laid In Gold

New, surprise album from Hilde (fka Sofia Reta and Ʌ). Captioned 'a group of songs about aging', it's a beautiful and touching mix of modern classical, ambient and avantgarde synth music, accompanied by vocoder vocals. Fans of his previous LPs will definitely love this, but if you're into anyone from Air to Geinoh Yamashirogumi you'll dig it.

Dalibor Cruz - 21 De Agosto, Macaruya

This is one of those releases I checked out only because of the cover artwork which is beautifully unsettling and captivating at the same time. "21 De Agosto, Macaruya" is a new tape from Dalibor Cruz out of Chicago, filled with seven deformed techno transmissions. His music merges both industrial experimentation and lo-fi approaches, but at the same time sounds like it's meant for an underground nightclub with good soundsystem. Weird but draws you in after a while.

Tapes are sold out but you can still cop the digital here. Stream below.
