DaRand Land - Wander Being
super happy I revisited this deep house dream that dropped just about 1 year ago. lush grooves and atmosphere for days, bass goes crazy. perfect fit for Francis Harris' Scissor & Thread label. should've been on my 2024 list! darandland.bandcamp.com/album/wander...

Bamboo Data – Tone Of Water, Colors Of J-Sky
This album from Susumu Yokota, made for a Japanese cell phone release in 2000, is gorgeous. Kankyo ongaku meets deep house. sounds like the cover looks. absolutely zero copies on discogs but you can hear the album here www.youtube.com/watch?v=wXFW...

Kissom - XEXU
total brainmelter on Príncipe, one of my faves of the year. I called it a cosmic synth techno fourth world inner space kizomba adventure the first time I heard it and can't think of a better description now that it's on my turntable. essential listen.

The Necks have been dominating my car stereo for weeks now, the 3 CDs of this sprawling album in constant rotation. Disquiet might end up one of my very favorites of their vast catalog before the year ends

Shawn Rudiman - yesterday sky
one of my favorite techno artists is dropping a new album on Quiet Details, one of the best ambient labels out there. it's certainly not ambient - closer in line to his recent dreamy cyberpunk output on Pittsburgh Tracks - but fits the vibe anyway
