Playhouse reprints the ‘number one’ album of the last decade (according to Resident Advisor): ‘Alcachofa’ by Ricardo Villalobos. ‘Dexter’ was one of the tracks that brought me more into the slower bpm spectrum of electronic music (I was quite an adept of 165+ bpm music). A well deserved winner of that poll, what an album.
Put on your headphones for this one. The details in this track are so lovely you need to hear them fully concentrated. ‘Yulquen’ featured on Autechre‘s album ‘Amber’ from 1994, and is my favourite track of that album. Again, melancholy is the main emotion here, like in most of my favourite music.
Somebody should make a nice video for this track, it’s made for some visuals!
I get so mixed up by hearing this track. It makes me feel positive, however the whole mood is in an unspoken way very sad. Its bassline tells a story of forgotten passion and lonely endless sights. Somewhere in the middle, the story turns out to be quite positive as hope flickers from the changed bassline. But troubled memories return near the end of the track.
Best served next to Triola‘s ‘Leuchtturm’ and Psychonauts ‘The Worlds Keeps Turning (Highfish & Zander remix)), like in Superpitcher’s Today mix album. Timeless!
Our friends at Unrezt / Thin Consolation released a new EP by Odaka (also known as Rawakari). The title track is just lovely. Its warm bassline carries the heartbeat of a puzzled mind, doubting between dancing or thinking. The beat+bass invites him to the dancefloor, but somewhere between those melodic pads, the loneliness awaits. Highly recommended.

Great track from UK artist Irrelevant. The bass melody is gloomy, but the vocals and strings shed a bit of light in the deep depths of “Echoes”. Be sure to check out his soundcloud account, because he has some other nice tracks there. Recommended!
Some mellow 2-step track from Pariah (not to be confused with the Pariah from the mid 90′s releasing stuff on Good Looking). Although this reminds me of Burial and SYNKRO, I can get enough of this kind of music. Lovely…
Discoverd this tune only minutes ago …. shame on me! this is D.E.E.P.
