Here is the 50th release of Drone Works International: "Drone Signals" by Kraut Sounds with the support of the Munich Drone Connection (Deep Tremolo Sustain, Velo di Nebbia and Linearwelt), who contributed sound pieces on four tracks.

"Drone Signals" is a direct follow-up to the albums "Drone Scapes" (2018), "Spaces" (2019) and "Stills" (2023). On the seven tracks, Kraut Sounds once again presents his vision of modern ambient drone music. From the epic opening track "Drone Signals" to the elegiac closing track "Dream Machine", it is a journey through meditative and floating soundscapes filled with rich ambient sounds, freeform electronics, captivating drones and hidden subliminal melodies.

1. Drone Signals / 2. Reveries / 3. Our Own Galaxy / 4. Ancient Memories / 5. Dense / 6. Magic / 7. Dream Machine

Kraut Sounds - Distance EP

"Inner Harmonies" can be seen as a declaration of love to the coastal regions of Liguria in northern Italy, to these landscapes and the sea, to the attitude to life and to the numerous quiet places that can still be discovered even in this region often characterised by tourism. The album tries to capture the essence of this landscape and its moods, and plays with the contrasts between the sea and the neighbouring mountains, which are fascinating in every view of the scenery.

"Inner Harmonies" consists of five long instrumental tracks that lead the listener into a colourful sonic frenzy of ascending and descending sound sections and repetitive structures in which individual instruments temporarily come to the fore and then dissolve again. Like minimal music meets ambient and contemporary classical music, interpreted in a subtle and sunny, light-flooded style.

Tracklist:
1. cosmic Thing / 2. Different Vies On A Certain Landscape / 3. Spaces Inbetween / 4. Sea And Horizon / 5. In The Daylight Of Today

The first DWI release of Substak is a deep dark drone experiment, probably the most radical release of this talented Greek artist up to now. 
"Drone Something" features four heavy drones, eerie and fascinating. A sort of vegetative state of mind. Sit down, calm down and drone on.... 

Tracklist:
01. Intro / 02. Active / 03. Akward / 04. Common End
