Wisp - We Miss You

Wisp is an IDM artist from New York. We Miss You is his second and latest release since signing to Rephlex.

Wisp - We Miss You

Absolutely incredible IDM. This is on seriously heavy rotation at the moment. Makes me feel all happy and nostalgic. Across the album you'll find everything between breakcore and ambient, yet it all manages to flow beautifully. Really top tier electronic work here, keep finding myself replaying it over and over again.

Track 4, To Draw Something Beautiful. One of my favourite tracks on the album. Others being Morning Myth, Lords & Ladies, Trees Like Toys and... I better leave it at that before I end up listing the whole tracklist. Enjoy.

Welder - Vines & Stream

Brandan Angelides aka Welder (also known as dubstep artist Eskmo) is a San Fransico based producer/artist. Vines & Stream is his debut album under the pseudonym.

Welder - Vines and Stream

Very laid back and very uplifting downtempo IDM, full of head-bopping beats, slightly psychedelic tones and world music samples. One to check out. Stand out tracks include "Purple and Orange", "In The Park" and "Find You Here". 

Yawning Man - Vista Point

No Yawning Man? No Kyuss. It's that important.

Yawning Man - Vista Point

So laid back it may well fall over - the ultimate stoner chillout record. Vista Point is possibly the best instrumental release to grace my ears yet. Just listen, close your eyes and take a ride.

Sparrows Swarm and Sing - O'Shenandoah, Mighty Death Will Find Me

This band sounds like the album art looks. That's the best I can describe it. Just listen.

Sparrows Swarm and Sing - O'Shenandoah, Mighty Death Will Find Me

You won't find any traditional song structure in O'Shenandoah, Mighty Death Will Find Me (even for post-rock). What you will find, however, is beautiful music with apocalyptic undertones. Recommended if you like Godspeed You! Black Emperor and A Silver Mt. Zion.

Nosaj Thing - Drift

Nosaj Thing is an electronic musician and producer bringing it hard in the LA "glitch-hop" scene alongside artists like Flying Lotus.

Nosaj Thing - Drift

This is on heavy rotation with me right now. Incredible electronic soundscapes, hard beats and an overall dark sound comparable to the likes of Burial and the rest of the dubstep scene mixed in with bleeping and blooping like something straight from your favourite IDM artist's library. This is absolutely stellar - scoop this.

Belong - Discography

A band I've only recently came across and been jamming a lot since, Belong. Lovely fuzzed out drone/ambient music with shoegaze qualities.

Belong - Tour

Belong - October Language

Belong - Colorloss Record

Belong - Same Places

Stick Sunn O))), My Bloody Valentine and Stars of the Lid in a blender and it will probably sound nothing like this but it's the closest I can get to describing it without sounding (even) more pretentious. But seriously, it's good. Get it.

World's End Girlfriend - Air Doll O.S.T.

Beautiful soundtrack for the 2009 film 空気人形 Kūki Ningyō (Air Doll), entirely composed by Katsuhiko Maeda (World's End Girlfriend).

空気人形 (Air Doll) O.S.T. - World End's Girlfriend

I can't stress how beautiful this is. It doesn't have the glitch/electronic elements like many of Maeda's other works, giving us a more straight forward ambient/classical sounding record. Super recommended.

Reso - Discography

I don't have loads to say on Reso right now other than that he is THE FUCKING MAN in the dubstep scene. Do yourself a favour if you're even slightly interested in the genre and scoop this.

Reso - Toasted/Holograms

Reso - Tags And Throw Ups Vol. 5
