Where does a person actually start to be themselves? For her third album, The Essence Of, Belia Winnewisser crawled into the rabbit hole in search of the origin of herself or of a certain kind of music. She found the origin of this, that, and then the origin of the origin, and then... No musical genre comes from nothing, no human being exists in isolation – these are the essences that the Zurich musician, after crawling out again into the clear light of day, was able to capture for herself. The Essence Of is a selfportrait that looks even further back into her own history than the previous releases. Memories of playful childhood days live on in moods and melodies drawn from the game Zelda. Impressions from movies and appreciations from life underpin the emotional layers of the seven (+1) tracks. Listening experiences across musical styles transport you to the UK of the early 90s or to quirky minimal floors 15 years later. And her most original musical experience is absolutely essential. Her voice breathes, floats, dabs and sings its way through the album and points deep inside. The Essence Of makes it clear: origins are not fixed places or points in time, but dynamic. The point at which something or someone begins shifts a little with every interpersonal encounter and every listen. The Essence Of is Belia Winnewisser's first album for the Cologne-based label SPA, on which she has already released the EP A Comet Blazing In the Empyrean (2020) and the track I Like Ferrofluid (2019 part of the compilation Safe Needing Attention).

MALLEB'S AMBIENT COLLECTION

"Drift Theory Aesthetic" moves through the liminal space between presence and absence — the subtle threshold where identity thins, memory loosens, and the self becomes a peripheral outline. Each track traces a different stage of this internal drift: the first micro‑departures of attention, the weightless suspension of disconnection, and the fragile, friction‑filled return to embodiment.

On Chitra Records, Zen Lemon reveals a beautifully darker and more densely textured side of his work. His ambient language deepens into something weightier — an atmosphere thick with shadow, pressure, and slow‑moving emotional gravity. Rather than reaching for brightness, the album builds an enveloping world where heaviness becomes strangely comforting.

The music mirrors the overwhelming pace of contemporary life, yet transforms that intensity into a space of immersion and release. "Drift Theory Aesthetic" invites listeners to sink into its depth, to move through its dense contours, and to find a quiet sense of refuge within the weight — a sonic reflection of how we drift, return, and continually renegotiate what it means to feel present.

Nestled in the United Kingdom, Zen Lemon, quietly explores the realm of sound art. His compositions delicately blend electronics, drones, and organic textures, resulting in humble yet captivating pieces of minimal and abstract ambience.
