Slow it down and let the textures breathe: Song for a Gorgeous Blonde teeters on LoFi piano, backward guitars, and a poem by Anja in continued homage to Swedish icon Ingrid Bergman, while Stewart Keller scores a haunting 2D horror-adventure through dark dreams and otherworldly creatures. For Heads Only — Rolling Stone-featured jazz artist Mike Casey — excavates his own catalog into wonky, cinematic beats à la Flying Lotus and J Dilla, and Alex Routledge builds ambient IDM and psychedelic textures in real time on a Yamaha MODX8+. The Land Of returns with moody downtempo breaks and gorgeous synth lines on the Transient EP.
Downtempo releases
““The Silence Between Collapses” is an immersive, atmospheric electronic piece that explores the fragile calm found in the moments between tension, disruption, and release.”
“Composed especially for the Happy Knobbing 2025 gathering, this piece explores polyphonic textures performed on the Heritage Modular polyphonic synthesizer.”
“Is there someone in your life who reminds you to keep searching for that elusive star or satellite?”
“This 3-track EP takes you through chill-out, downtempo, and ambient for a mental reset.”
“When the noise fractures, what’s left is the lull—a crumbling five-track descent into ambient drift.”
