  • Brazilian ethnic /tribal /psych /slow-mo /downtempo /electronic trio Japanese Limo Boys “Le Antline” from “Zusa” EP [Nein Records]

Brazilian trio unfolds sinuously tinkling, exotic kissing snaps of crackling layers of sultry tribal percussive patterns, and subtly chugging bass, wrapped by whizzing and whirring heady psychedelic spirals for a groovy yet uncanny whimsical sonic trip, that will entirely engulf and amplify the senses.

  • Italy-based, Swedish experimental /techno /electronic /synth-punk collaboration Svezia Inferno ‡ǂ‡ Paula666 – “Guanti Neri” [La Società Del Malessere]

  • Brussels ambient /jazz /experimental live and recording collaborative project led by producer and composer Laurent Baudoux, aka Fan Club Orchestra / FCO – “Void” from the upcoming album ” VL_Stay” 12″ [12th Isle]

 The first stunning foretaste from Brussels live and recording collaborative project with roots in the late 90s, suffuses immersive, atmospheric iridescent visions suspended between reflective synth-laced ambience and organic electroacoustic phrasing, into an immaculate weave of caressing warm bass pulses, melting guitar glints, enveloping shivering pads and hypnotizing trumpets of transcendental breath and emotionally blowing reverberations, to construct a stirring, vividly sensorial, deeply spellbinding imaginative aural journey.
