Igloo Magazine :: Best of 2022

feelin' moody w. RITA BASS & AD ZEE - 1 October 2021

Gyorgy Ono explores fragmentation through a spice of occult exotica from spoken word, hissy cassette experiments, and slithery snake rhythms amongst blissfully delinquent ambiances. His acts of sonic recycling recontextualize borrowed sounds, fabricating their new purpose and infusing life into the archaic. Mapping a sound-world which delves into arcane stratospheres and probing melancholic, beguiling and wayward realms from far-flung corners of the universe. By cross-dressing of styles and periods, Ono unearths connections that form alliances, bridging the gaps in the sonic-constellation. A timelessness arises from this sonic archaeology, encompassing the visceral, serene, cathartic, and absurd.

Daniel Avery's most ambitious and accomplished studio album to date, 'Ultra Truth', is out now on Phantasy + Mute.

'Ultra Truth' offers a very different listening experience to any of Avery’s previous records. It inhabits its own world of sound, a construct built in Avery’s Thames side studio with collaborative help from a host of friends: the production touch of Ghost Culture and Manni Dee, the vocals of HAAi, Jonnine Standish (HTRK), AK Paul and the voices of Marie Davidson, Kelly Lee Owens, Sherelle and James Massiah.

Taken from the album "Photisms", released on Kaer'Uiks

»C Mantle opens the floodgates on Photisms. / … shedding light; especially in the dark, on the exciting new Photisms with Kaer’Uiks. / It’s a whirlwind of creative and mechanical activity that flexes and deforms along the way. / We’re still baffled at C Mantle’s scope of audio work and utterly enjoying this one inside and out!«

Igloo Magazine is an electronic music e’zine publishing articles about current, classic and upcoming music from around the globe. Our mission is to introduce readers to the burgeoning undergrowth of electronic musicians by covering a wide range of genre’s including ambient, experimental, dub, dubstep, shoegaze, electro, techno, drone, IDM, industrial, post-industrial, and all the debris in between. Pulling together a vast tapestry of like-minded contributors, the virtual Igloo doors officially opened December of 2000. We consistently seek to provide coverage for musicians creating left-of-center music that is not necessarily covered in general music media. Igloo Magazine publishes articles in the capacity of Newswires, Reviews, Features and Profiles for artists that wouldn’t normally receive the light of digital ink.

Record label and party organisation based in Belgium, founded in 2009 by Ruben Boons and Bert Hermans.
