Talbot Fade is the musical project of a guy who is part of the YRZ collective. Describing his music is a challenge as simple words don’t cover the depth of emotion inherent in his tracks. Ambient interludes inspired by periods of heartache and introspection, ghostly pianos sitting over fog-like drones – evocative and resonant of […]

It’s been a good year for Dublin outfit I Am The Cosmos. They saw in the new year playing with the mighty Nightflight collective in The Grand Social, and later that month they released their debut album Monochrome on Elastic Witch, and premiering on Noisey. Strong reviews followed, and rightly so. It’s a sterling effort, […]

Error Broadcast have had a good year. They’ve been sparing with their offerings, but if nothing else they’ve given us the beautiful melancholy of Soosh’s Colour Is Breathe. Closing out the year they’ve released an album from Romanian producer C L N K, who previously released on the label as Montgomery Clunk. Black Ecstacy, an […]

Having provided a mix for the esteemed Electronic Explorations blog early on, they subsequently featured on the weighty EE compilation the following summer. It was appropriate, then, that they would join the ranks at […]

Stream: Koett – Golden Peak (Atomnation) Last month we recommended Lost Time from Russian producer Koett, the first single from his upcoming album Golden Peak. We loved its jazzy leanings and sunny melodies, and reveled in its warm 60s revivalism. It’s with great pleasure that we can bring you this exclusive premiere of the album […]

It’s All In You is a label set up by Berlin-based DJ, producer and audio professional Nima Chatrsimab, aka NYMA. Inspired by the chaos and pain in the world and keen to steer himself and others on a better path, he set up the label to connect with the universe. To paraphrase Rakim, as he […]

We first covered Mr Beatnick upon the digital release of his Synthetes EP in the summer of 2011. A late pass, indeed, but we’ve been watching him and Don’t Be Afraid, the label he calls home, very closely ever since. He was even kind enough to give us our 42nd Truancy Volume. Over the past […]

Mamiko Motto is never idle. Between Hepcat Radio, her weekly show for NTS, her regular DJ gigs and her full-time university studies, she’s constantly busy, but she wouldn’t have it any other way. She’s just about to drop Amada, a 14-track compilation full of exclusive material for Dublin’s All City Records, and we caught up […]

The swell is important to Ryan Lee, aka Rival Consoles. “I realised that hardly anyone has done that in electronic music,” he says. While that may not necessarily be true – Throwing Snow, Stellar OM Source and Jon Hopkins have all used it to great effect in recent times – he’s certainly on course to […]
