It’s hard to believe that the cheerful sound of Bananagun is rooted in personal hardship. So vibrant and psychedelic on the surface, yet the wounds beneath occasionally seep through. On Why is the Colour of the Sky? (Full Time Hobby), it’s clear at times that not everything is as colorful…

A perfect match: L’Eclair and Klaus Johann Grobe, champions of Swiss organic groove, have come together to create Lotus (Stone Pixels). And they’re not alone: Jarvis Taveniere (Woods) handled the mixing, with Almachrome on mastering. The result? A soothing, cosmic track. Lotus (ft Klaus Johann Grobe) by L'Eclair

Enhancing live recordings with added details—sounds like a solid plan, right? That was the approach taken by ACID ROOSTER for their new album, Hall Of Mirrors (Tonzonen / Little Cloud / Cardinal Fuzz).

In between, there was a double EP…

K. Martin and Merve Erdem, as Kit Sebastian, truly embody the concept of world music. They effortlessly blend everything with everything else, switching countries and moods in seconds, all with a remarkable ease. With New Internationale (Brainfeeder), they join Flying Lotus’s equally eclectic label, the perfect home for their third…

Alessio Ferrari can hardly catch a break. With his first album as Upupayāma, he embarked on a journey that led him to the point where the follow-up was conceived.
