Room40 has had an unbelievable year of releases so it seems appropriate, as part of Foxy Digitalis’s year-end schedule, to have label boss Lawrence English at the fore. Lawrence compiled three mixes of music he’d collected through his many tours […]
I’m going to keep this short and sweet. Mephisto Halabi’s The Arabic Room continues to keep me fried and overjoyed. It’s one of my favorite albums of the year and rewards listeners who dig into its every crevice. I can’t get enough. When I asked Julius Masri (the brains behind all of it) to splice […]
When I reviewed the excellent Central Isteric PASS/PORT album (on czaszka (rec.)) earlier this year, I mentioned that I didn’t have much of a grasp on Romanian experimental music. After publishing the review, Gili Mocanu (the brains behind Central Isteric) and I struck up a conversation on Twitter about what’s going on in his home country. He […]
Years ago, while lying in bed on our sides facing each other, Eden and I started doing this thing where we’d place our palms on the side of each other’s heads and press down. It was strangely relaxing so we’ve kept doing it. We call it macropressure and I keep thinking someone should open a […]
We listen to a pretty decent amount of Christmas music here at Foxy Digitalis HQ throughout December each year, always trying to find random, weird, and wonderful gems we haven’t heard before.

It’s an album with a serrated edge, cutting through all the ephemera of a present infected by a not-too-distant past. Downwards label head, Regis, says, “They have undeniably made a […]
David Watson’s upcoming collaboration with Matthew Welch, Woven, is an ecstatic vision of bagpipe reverie. It’s music that will simultaneously lift spirits and blow down the walls. For decades, Watson has been an enigmatic piper pushing the limits of his instrument and composing pieces that expand listeners’ ideas of what bagpipe music is and can be. Woven is […]
On Channelers newest album, Another Entrance, Sean Conrad opens this beautiful, shimmering world with two resonating piano notes. He lets them hang for a few extra moments before repeating them and sailing off toward the aqueous horizon. It sets the intentions of the entire album, welcoming listeners to drift with him in his search for his […]
Hot on the heels of Anthony Sahyoun’s incredible new album, Proof By Infinite Descent, comes this beguiling mix of Lebanese, Syrian, Egyptian, and Palestinian music. The Beirut artist weaves countless inspirations and sources into his record. Listening to this 67-minute mix, certain threads emerge and we can hear how he combined some of these elements into […]
