>>>>>>>best of 2009<<<<<<<

martin schulte / depth of soul / lantern

My new favourite artist discovery this year is Russian producer, Marat Shibaev aka Martin Schulte. Twenty-one year old, Martin Schulte successfully delivers delicious dub-inspired techno intertwined with floating ambient textures and atmospheric field recordings.



pablo bolivar / recall / regular

Spanish producer, Pablo Bolivar develops clinical sequences into divine warm melodies and stunning techno grooves.



ametsub / the nothings of the north / progressive form

lusine / a certain distance / ghostly

Seattle based, Lusine aka Jeff McIlwain combines sophisticated pop structures with warm melodic IDM melodies.



jonathan johansson / en hand i himlen / hybris

Jonathan Johansson creates infectious nostalgic Swedish synth-pop. I've become that annoying sixteen year-old high school girl that plays her favourite pop song over and over again.



quantec / cauldron subsidence / echocord

Quantec aka Sven Schienhammer, delivers his second full length release with outstanding deep pulsating dub ambiance.



fluxion / constant limber / resopal schallware

Pendle Coven, known for being half of MLZ, presents his first full-length debut. Well produced dub techno with some straightforward dubstep, broken beat and shimmering ambiance.



pleq / the metamorphosis / u-cover

Pleq constructs well-crafted glitchy ambiance, full of delicate shifting micro sounds, percussion clicks and orchestral sentiments.



brock van wey (aka bvdub) / white clouds drift on and on / echospace

Brock Van Wey produces beautiful sentimental ambient music and is the first Echospace outsider to be accepted on the label.



black to comm / alphabet 1968 / type

Beautiful drone ambient album full of haunting loops, distant lullabies and psychedelic classical structures.



lowfish / frozen and broken / noise factory

Gregory de Rocher aka Lowfish produces quality grooving analogue synth-electro/techno full of catchy melodies.



ólafur arnalds / found songs / erased tapes

Minimalist Icelandic composer, Ólafur Arnalds brilliantly managed to produce this sentimental classical album in seven days.



rone / spanish breakfast / infine

French producer, Rone aka Erwan Castex, delivers a driving tech-house album full of cinematic overtones.



port-royal / dying in time / n5md

Port-Royal deliver their original, emotionally elevated shoegaze ambience while incorporating distortions of techno and synth pop.



redshape / the dance paradox / delsin

Redshape produces driven acid basslines with futuristic analogue warmth.



dj sprinkles / midtown 120 blues / mule

Terre Thaemlitz aka Dj Sprinkles delivers a solid deep house album with a pinch of melancholy.



louderbach / autumn / m_nus

Troy Pierce and Gibby Miller combines Miller's vocals with Pierce's dark minimal techno productions for clinical driven basslines and robotic introspective sounding love songs.



yagya / rigning / sending orbs

Minimalist ambient soundscapes with micro-beats and glitchy percussion.
