I love a label sampler, I’m not going to lie. Add in it being a label that I’m not deeply familiar with, and I’m all in. One of Them is Niko Dalagelis, creator of Artificial Owl Recordings, and this mix is a seamless, beautifully mixed sample of what the label has to offer. Sweeping electronic drifts, ambient expressions, quiet rhythms, sharp timbral angles, […]
Andy Aquarius’s new album, Golla Gorruppa, is a dream, an exploration of our world – specifically inspired by his meditations on the Sardinian Gorropu mountain range – through an otherworldly lens. The Berlin-based harpist and singer crafts an ethereal landscape through emotive string passages adrift on gossamer, grey-hued melodies, celestial choirs, and electronic clouds. This music […]
Dimitriam’s Amphora has this glorioiusly woozy and playful undercurrent to it that makes the whole thing feel like a hazy dream. These songs and experiments have me longing to be in a sunkissed summer daze, drifting lazily on his memorable hooks and wistful spirit. Amphora is such a delight and the perfect antidote to winter’s last spindly tendrils. Pick […]
Daniel dans la nuit by Funken and Chergui et Hateau remains in regular rotation over here. It’s such a weird, wonderful album (and if you’re not following the unjenesaisquoi label, fix that). So it’s no surprise that Funken’s mix here, The Night of the Periwinkles. Tracklist: Jerskin Fendrix – BellaTerry Riley – Celestial ValleyShuta Hasunuma […]
When The Orb’s Alex Paterson and original memeber, Andy Falconer, reunited as Sedibus with 2021’s The Heavens, the sky – perhaps figuratively and literally – seemed like the limit of their collaboration. With the forthcoming SETI, they’ve pushed well beyond that. Immersive ambient atmospheres open up a new world of emotive soundscapes on the album, with the […]
Moldova-based DJ Errorless Bird soars beyond with his mix Ether Perturbations. This is more than a simple mix of songs, it recontextualizes this music as transitory pathways, full of endless destinations and unlimited possibilities. Narrative guideposts are dotted throughout this 53 minute ride, drawing enchanting patterns with aural silhouettes and tapping into a rich vein of emotional […]
Sometimes, being the boss has its perks and in this case, it means I am starting off Season #4 of the Foxy Digitalis Mix Series with a collection of songs from upcoming Jewel Garden (the FD in-house label) releases. Obviously this is pretty heavy with my own projects, but I’m excited that there will be […]
Stefan Christoff has released or been part of so many wonderful releases in 2023, and in his second mix for Foxy Digitalis this year, he does not disappoint. Off the back of a stellar collaboration with Adriana Camacho, Christoff shares selections from new and recent works out of Mexico City. The breadth of the music is incredible. […]
Ghost Marrow’s earth + death has a claustrophobic intimacy to it. Everything from the cascading synth arpeggios and guitar echoes to Aurielle Zeitler’s voice are like small, phantom touches across the skin. Visceral details build textural walls inside these songs; grating screams are masked by lilting melodies, but only to a point. Elegiac passages glow, an unexpected […]
