1Michael Pisaro and Miguel Prado
White Metal

(Drone / A Parking Garage) Pisaro interpreted by Prado, and its surprisingly accessible.
Gorgeous electronic drones float in and out of streams of gaseous noise |
https://soundcloud.com/senufoeditions/michael-pisaro-miguel-prado
2Dean Blunt
Skin Fade

(Dean Blunt) Blunt and folkstress Joanna Robertson team up for this one-off mixtape,
undoubtably hinting at something great whenever BLACK METAL drops |
https://soundcloud.com/5_a_m/skin-fade-mp3
3  David Andree and Josh Mason
Call, Response

(Ambient / Minimalism) Two masters of subtly collab for a lovely little record for rain
dripping off trees and leaves floating in April puddles |
http://ownrecords.bandcamp.com/album/call-response
4Manfred Werder and Toshiya Tsunoda
detour

(go outside) A longform recording of nature and faint disturbances that often go
unnoticed | http://www.erstwhilerecords.com/catalog/071.html
5Mouse on Mars
Spezmodia

(Juke / Footwork / wait, there's a difference?) MOM shift to contemporary realms
and end up showin' these young kids a thing or two |
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lt3jnsv6x7o
6 Gunge
UBRMNSCH?-?BLWY?-?PLX

(Trap / Plunderphonics / Space Jam re-released on Blu-Ray but recalled because
every copy is in German) A digital hoosedown of irrelevant samples and stomping
trap kits for day-glo tinychat raves |
http://interscaperecords.bandcamp.com/album/brmnsch-blwy-plx
7Holly Herndon
Chorus/Solo Voice

(Glitch / Uhm, excuse me, it's actually not really Vaporwave. Yeah okay the hyper-
real, crystal clear aspect is there and the do-do-do sampling thingy but this is
bascially just some choral glitchy shit with some synths over it and some maybe-
samples. I think it would fit better in sound collage. Or plunderphonics. Or
turntablism. [EDIT: maybe tape music]) Herndon expands her odd choral muzak to
extraterrestrial realms (and brings some heavy Oneohtrix Point Never influence with
her) | http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nHujh3yA3BE
8 ####
####

(House / Who even made this) Lush throwback house for anonymous junkies and nervous
bidders watching their life savings disappear trying to snag Earthbound complete in box
(MINT CONDITION) | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0P8T6ERwEsA
9Matthew Hopkins
Nocturnes

(Dark Ambient / Drone) Pessimism as a railway to truth |
https://soundcloud.com/vittelli/vit002-matthew-p-hopkins
10Kazuki Tomokawa
Vengeance Bourbon

(Avant-Folk) Outsider folk legend keeps his folk raw and drunken in 2014 |
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gR07hkkCE44 (Seriously just listen to this track.
Oh my is it beautiful ~)
11Zimzari
A Trip to Florida

(Ambient / This guy's VHS rip of his trip to Florida from 1996) A re-evaluation of
nostalgia as a grand, romantic, and helplessly aching memory |
http://upsidedownnachos.bandcamp.com/album/a-trip-to-florida
12Russell Haswell
37 Minute Workout

(Industrial Techno / Noise / Richard Simmons-core) 37 MINUTES OF TOTAL
MAXIMUM WEIGHT LOSS EFFICIENCY - GO HARD OR GO HOME [RESULTS

workout
13Tord Gustavsen Quartet
Extended Circle

(Jazz) Lovely slow ECM style jazz for reflective walks across moonlit bridges |
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XYnGw_rPT1g
14Magic Eye
Babylon

(Neo-Psych [huh] / Lo-Fi [like Pavement lo-fi indie or like Ariel Pink glo-fi?]) Dusty
new age pop for trying to fix your scratched copy of NiGHTS into Dreams |
http://boomkat.com/downloads/916972-magic-eye-babylon
15D/P/I
08.DD.15

(Glitch / Sound Collage) OPINION 1: This guy is doing something brillant, warping
modern hip-hop, glitch, and plethora of irrelevant samples into his own distinctive
and endlessly intriguing language. A challenging comment on post-modern excess.
OPINION 2: What the fuck is this? This has to be a satire or some kind of joke, and
even then this is extremely tedious and pointless. |

frequencies (a/ fragments)

(Electronic [k thanks for really narrowing it down there]) The distant background
vapor of Confield and empty hyperspace of Prince Xizor's Palace |
https://soundcloud.com/pdis_inpartmaint/sets/nicolas-bernier-frequencies-a/
17Wakesleep
Automne-hiver

(Glitch / Ambient) Hauntingly lo-fi, incredibly subtle, and as pretty as a glimpse of
morning light through venetian blinds, this is one of the most intriguing takes on
glitch music in years | http://wakesleep.bandcamp.com/album/automne-hiver
18Cadu Tenorio
Cassettes

(Electroacoustic / Ambient) Old bastard tape loops get new life on high wire telephone
poles | http://sinewave.com.br/en/2014/02/cadu-tenorio-cassettes-2014/
19Sun Araw
Belomancie

(Sun Araw continuing to dwell into interesting irrelevance / genre's just look silly at
this point) Off key, out-world experiments in dub and psychedelia that remain
charming and somewhat melodic throughout | http://www.youtube.com/watch?
v=MegfIYNQWXs
20Drekka
Ekki gera fikniefnum,

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BiY-p3D1-cM
25Hong Chulki and Ryu Hankil
Objets Infernaux

(EAI / ...dude this fucking sucks.) A series of rough, improvised textures [ranging
from faint to excruciating] that's textbook difficult listening but so unrelentingly
bleak, intricate, and unsettling that there is a purity here that demands your
attention like few records can | http://www.erstwhilerecords.com/catalog/069.html
26Susan Balmar
SIGNUM

(Glitch / Plunderphonics) Balmar continues to spin warped samples through glitched
equipment on her third LP - this time almost completely breaking away from any
notion of hip-hop that she dragged along before |
http://beerontherug.bandcamp.com/album/signum
27Millie and Andrea
Drop the Vowels

(Jungle / Techno / "no" - deviant) Andy Stott's side project with Miles Whitaker

rave filtered through a modern guise | http://www.youtube.com/watch?

30X.Y.R.
Arktika

(Ambient / You don't listen to Pet Sounds when your looking up Business Insider's The 15 Best
Tropical Beaches in The World, you listen to X.Y.R.) Lovely new age tinged with a hint of vintage
progressice electronic | http://xyrmusic.bandcamp.com/album/arktika
31Les Halles
Invisible Cities

(New Age / Ambient) One of the finest examples of modern New Age I've come
across. Glorious lo-fi flutes cascade through wide-angled peaceful scenery |
http://ctatsu.bandcamp.com/album/invisible-cities
32Amen Dunes
Love

(The Psychedelic Sounds of The 196- Ty Seg- 2014.) Exotic wooden garage rock

culture | https://soundcloud.com/hyperdub/fatima-al-qadari-szechuan

infectious industrial techno | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SJ3qx6Zi4XI
37Loscil and Fieldhead
Fury and Hecla

(Ambient / Glitch / Hyperion-core) Lovely silky ambience for high wire adventures
above the clouds or sunken aquatic depths | https://www.youtube.com/watch?
v=MIiSSTGlcrI
38Mika Vainio
Konstellaatio

(Ambient / Glossy Confield) An interesting experimental take on ambience and
microsound | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JwvB8PZMH9M

40Gobby
Wakng Thrst for Seeping Banhee

broken skeleton techno and instrumental hip hop |

adolescent neon fantasty for a lifetime ~ | https://www.youtube.com/watch?

absorbed through photosynthetic textures |
http://echolane.bandcamp.com/album/bikes-clouds-cranes-phones
43Aaron Dilloway
Medicine Stunts

(Eerie Tapes / Twilight Zone Smoke) Slowly wavering, smokey haunt faintly dwells
in the distance, obscured by gentle tape hiss and the rattling of miscellaneous jugs,
whistles, horns, and junk | https://soundcloud.com/lal-lal-lal/aaron-dilloway-
medicine-stunts
44Jason Lescalleet
Much to My Demise

(Drone / Decay) Best summed up here: http://s.pixogs.com/image/R-5530947-1396318668-5661.jpeg |
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=77rqW0y3iSo
45Venn Rain
Twin Beaks

(Ambient / Bandcamp Game Twin Peaks) Sputnik's underground ambient champion
continues to trance us under his eloquent spiritual renderings |
http://viroidlife.bandcamp.com/album/twin-beaks
46Ichiko Aoba
0%

(Folk / Ethereal Goddess) A live album spanning her lastest few albums (plus a
couple bold new tracks), 0% captures Ichiko Aoba at her finest thus far. Her voice
is simulanetously simplistic, childlike, and angelic, taking her stripped down style of
gorgeous acoustic strumming skyward to levels of purity few artists can acheive.
I'd go as far as to say she's the most compelling folk artist in the world right now;
0% and the rest of her discography are all must listens. |
