Ancient Astronaut vs Jelinek - B2 (Jelinek Remix)

Final 15 - A Ghostly 15 Playlist Curated by Michael Cina

"Anyone that knows me, knows that my main passion is music. I spend all day listening to music at work and my vinyl collection of 16k pieces greets me when I get home. I knew about Ghostly International before they contacted me in the early 2000’s and we would write off and on. They used to send me big packages of white labeled vinyl, it was decadent.

Late 2007 I got a call from Ghostly asking if I was up for designing a new single for Dabrye. It was a dream come true and I feel like I found a friend who really understood me. I have had the distinct privilege to design over 100 covers for Ghostly, and that is only the half of it.

When they asked me to do a compilation, I was all about it. I wanted to do three or more compilations because I wanted to segment it up into different sections (Ghostly, SMM and Spectral). It is impossible to reduce the entire label to 15 tracks. Ghostly is dynamic, they don’t fit one sound, genre or idea.

So I approached it as a mixtape of sorts. I tried to find a common thread that spoke to me and create a mood around that idea. Some of my favorite tracks are not on here. JDSY 'Horizon Line' makes my head spin. Choir of Young Believers 'Paralyse' takes me to another place. There are so many more.

What you are hearing some songs that have spoken to me over the years in a distinct way. I don’t feel like they are obvious choices but they all are nothing short of amazing. I hope this compilation helps you see a different side of one of the best labels to ever do it." - Michael Cina

Audion - I Am The Car

03 Nathan Fake - Audio Gold

Nathan Fake and Wesley Matsell's new Cambria Instruments label already got us salivating with a split release between the two Border Community-affiliated artists in August. NF's track 'Black Drift' was intriguing and restrained, a subtle return to the fray after two years without releases – but now we have 'Nuuk' from his first full solo Cambria Instruments EP, and he's really cut loose. It's a stunner, somehow both fragile and nails-hard, and easily as spine-tingling as 'The Sky Was Pink'. It's good to have him back.

Nathan Fake "Nuuk" - Boiler Room Debuts

NUFECTS  Juan Deminicis - Clover Patch Park

Embark on the Coast Oscura, the stunning debut album from Objects of Affection Collection. This record is a sophisticated, intoxicating journey across the Mediterranean, defining a new frontier in global electronic music: Tribal Noir.

Fusing the driving, hypnotic rhythms of Dark Afro House with the opulence of the Balearic sound, this album is a masterclass in sonic layering. It trades typical synths for genuine, cinematic instrumental drama. You will find yourself immersed in deep-cut tracks driven by a heavy, undeniable bassline, where the passion of the Spanish Guitar meets the melancholic grandeur of Arabic Strings and Horns.

This is a sound built for massive moments—from sunset rituals on the White Isle to the deep pulse of a Moroccan labyrinth. Tracks like "Caravan to Casablanca" and "The Sultan's Tempo" establish the album's core identity: expensive, spiritual, and utterly irresistible.

Coast Oscura is more than an album; it is an exotic invitation to dance Entre Dos Mundos (Between Two Worlds)

Horn of the Andalus

Another spectral addition to Bakradze's catalogue, possessing a similar swelling synth line to Floating Points' 'Nuit Sonores'. Taken from the third release on his co-founded Transfigured Time imprint.

Bakradze - Hand (STW Premiere)

My inspiration for these remixes was to play with this concept of opposite spaces, and tailor it to how I am trying to develop my work, personally. 

Spaces can completely change perception of sound. Opposites seem to inspire me: I am as fascinated with an anechoic chamber where all acoustic reflections are non-existent – as I am with a highly reverberant space, such as an auditorium or hall. 

As an artist who's known more for writing music suited for dark spaces, I find myself battling against the expectations that surround this context frequently. The Dark reinterpretation is my familiar ground; the Light is essentially a rejection of that.

Kelpe - 'Midsommar'

Object Is A Navigator

Object is a Navigator

Circuits is debut single of https://soundcloud.com/friedernagel new Karoshi EP - out  April 3rd. 

The track is formed by the hypnotic loop of several clarinets triggering a Juno 60 and Moog Sub 37 Synthesizer on a ruthless chase through their electric “circuits”, while massive chords and broken beats are leading their way. The listener feels simultaneously persecuted and attracted to a sound-aesthetic which has its origin in late 80´s end-of-the-world sci-fi soundtracks but carries within the complex texture of today´s finest electronica.
