your sound design is unreal man, I'm a huge fan! It's so refreshing to hear something with a smooth development of sounds from beginning to end, as opposed to something that pushes itself forward regardless of if the listener may have truly taken time to appreciate certain elements of the track!

It comes but once a year, our top tracks of 2022.
Tough year, seems to be the mantra of life there days. Nevertheless, the lads bury the spike of reality with a selection of nourishing sounds that guarantee to warm away the horrors staring back at you.
Robbie starts us off with some beauts care of the always excellent Heinrich Dressel and his silken synth work. Synths are the focus for Mothball’s Ash in October with Galaxian offering some electro commentary on levers of power. The atmospherics of Ard Bit lead into the The wizardry of John Beltran before we hit the floor. Mr Ho & Mogwaa and their upbeat “Bail-E” are countered with the caustic electronics of Sound Synthesis and knob jerks of PQ17 on the freshly minted Unusual Transmission. 
The broken beat bandwagon is boarded for the superb Kanyalang! with Spain’s Black Quasar scaling peaks with Negative Glitch. We stay with Black Quasar and Existential Wabbit, resurfacing with Nebulae elegance and Delayscape’s delicate “Baffled Cry.”
A constant source of inspiration for us at WE FORFEIT is De:tuned, the Belgian label once again setting the bar incredibly high in 2022. Two tracks, care of legends Stasis and Nuron, had to make the selection, and do!
Chris takes the wheel with cracking pieces from our good pal Dj Sneaker, the unmissable Cignol, on HC Records, and the hard hitting Hard Ton on Schrödinger’s Box. Robbie returns with an 030303 gem of the last twelve months, Tom Gilbert and “Lucid Dream” mixed into the electro godfathers that are Morphology.

Martina released Off-Kilter all time favourite album 'Diffusion Is a Force' on Parisian label Latency (Laurel Halo, Tirzah, Lafawndah, Moor Mother) so it's a great pleasure to welcome her to the platform with this stunning and haunting sound scape.

The fourth episode in the Field Recordings series was recorded in the Balkans in the summer of 2022.

All sounds for this episode are recorded in the versatile fields of Albania, Bosnia, Montenegro and Slovenia. From Sarajevo’s Olympic Bobsleigh to the Cursed Mountains in Albania and back via the small peaceful village Miholjače in Bosnia to the beautiful Kamnik-Savinja Alps in Slovenia. The ambient layers on top are recorded in my studio in Rotterdam.

The colors of the cover artwork are chosen by Rutger Zuydervelt.

Rutger Zuydervelt composes music as Machinefabriek. His music combines elements of ambient, noise, minimalism, drone, field recordings and electro-acoustic experiments. The music can be heard as an attempt to create sonic environments for the listener to dwell in. It can be minimalistic at first glance, but reveals its depth upon closer listening.

For fans of the music that we promote Roel Funcken probably needs little introduction. A legend in his own right with releases dating back more than 23 years on labels such as n5MD, Ad Noiseam, Schematic, Analogical Force and his own imprints. Roel was also the organiser of the Mindcamp events in The Netherlands that featured the best IDM artists and is one of our biggest heroes and a true inspiration. Did you know Roel also makes beautiful paintings? The artwork for this mix is one example, but we urge you to check out his other works. 

The mix is an amazing collection of his own music and other artists that we're fans of, so we are more than happy with this contribution. Enjoy!

Saturn's rings extend from 6,630 km to 120,700 km above Saturn's equator, average approximately 20 meters in thickness and are composed of 93% water ice with traces of tholin impurities and 7% amorphous carbon. The particles that make up the rings range in size from specks of dust up to 10 m.

OCEANS OF DIAMOND POSSIBLE ON URANUS AND NEPTUNE

High pressure experiments that mimic conditions on the icy gas giants show that chunks of diamond can float on a sea of liquid carbon.
The research provides the first detailed measurements of the melting point of diamond, the hardest natural material known, and the finding that could also help explain the strange orientation of Uranus and Neptune's magnetic fields.

Pantanal, Brasil - 2013
DR00152.wav says my field recorder. It’s an enchanting recording of the serenity I experience in the magic of Pantanal. A purling stream, a water tumbler, insects and a bird, beautiful!

This place and the recording are the primary ingredient for Brizal. The serenity and the emptiness in this track reflect my experience there.

This album explores the interplay between horizontal and vertical musical elements, where subtle acoustic events challenge perceived stillness. In the realm of drone music, these nuanced occurrences shape its immersive nature, injecting unpredictability into sustained tones. They blur the distinction between stasis and movement, fostering diverse listening experiences. Ultimately, these tiny acoustic events enrich the sonic landscape, challenging conventional musical narratives.
 
Creating electronic music blends sound design and composition. For this album, we've incorporated sounds from our experimental installations, emphasizing exploration over virtuosity. This process of crafting instruments and sounds enriches our music, capturing the essence of sonic exploration.
