The smell of flowers and trees in full Spring glory is nearly here. May has finally begun, and if you are as excited as we are to feel a new season in the electronic music world, a spring-inspired swirl of exciting new albums, releases, and remixes are just what we need.

We selected ten favorite tracks of the month featuring two extensive charity compilations from Enisslab Studio Records and Konstrukt supporting the fight against the Covid-19 Pandemic; also included are impeccable new albums from Italian artist Andrea on Ilian Tape, Russian via Berlin producer Soela on Dial Records, Giegling affiliate Vril on Delsin Records, British producer K-LONE on Wisdom Teeth Records; John Talabot giving facelifts to Darkstar's new single "Wolf" on Warp, the legendary Aphex Twin who quietly uploaded six new tracks on his not-to-secret Soundcloud page for free download, Dorisburg and Efraim Kent who reunited on the fledgling imprint Kontrolleri, and Feral’s marvelous return to Hypnus records.

In light of the current Covid-19 Pandemic Studio Enisslab headed up by Italian DJ / Producer and Live Act Neel has announced the release of a very special 56 track charity compilation project, fundraising for The Red Cross, who are working extremely hard alongside health services internationally that are feeling the effects of the corona-virus outbreak the most right now. The compilation is available for a limited time via Bandcamp and 100% of the proceeds will be donated to The Red Cross to help the world’s most affected countries in the Covid-19 pandemic.

This special release features over 6 hours of previously unreleased and unheard material, where an all star cast of artists were encouraged to share music that reflects this time we are living in.

Neel, who is one half of live duo Voices From The Lake, and LF58 speaks out on behalf of the initiative, organised in collaboration with improvised live project Circle Of Live, and visual art collective Sbagliato. He explains:

“In this situation we all need to look after each other and this project is a start. I wanted to reach as many people as possible to spread this message, so I started to share the idea personally with lots of artists and the response was amazing. I wanted them to take their time with whichever tools they had available at home to produce some music that reflects this time we are living in, a contribution for this special project and to portray a special message.”

The project’s cover art image brought to you by visual art collective Sbagliato shows pictures of windows of houses and studios taken by the artists themselves: 56 musicians, 56 windows, 56 tracks shape a new place of sharing.

'Cape Cira' is the lush, hypnotic debut album by acclaimed British producer K-LONE.

In contrast to his clubbier productions, 'Cape Cira' sees the producer explore the full melodic and textural potentials of his sound, drawing inﬂuence from ambient, fourth world, and modern classical music to create a work more closely related to the outputs of SND, Jon Hassell, Burnt Friedman, or - more recently - Don’t DJ and Visible Cloaks.

THIS IS NOT A DRILL Volume 1.

Music is a common ground shared by all of us. It connects us across cultural and political borders and is a centerpiece where people hold on to every day, especially in these uncertain times. That is why we put together an extensive compilation together with friends all over the world to help society in the areas where it is needed.

All Bandcamp sales will be donated to The Red Cross The Netherlands who will distribute it around the globe to help those who need it most in their fight against the Covid-19 virus.

 A massive thanks to all the artists involved for their contribution.

Stay safe.
