For Böser Herbst, Thomas Fehlmann returns to the sediment of ages, drawing from a similar lexicon of sounds to that used on 2018’s ‘1929 – Das Jahr Babylon’. Like that album, Böser Herbst was produced as the soundtrack to a documentary made by Matthias Luthardt, ‘Herbst 1929, Schatten Über Babylon’, which offers historical insight to the third season of the television series Babylon Berlin. It adds yet another string to the bow of this most forward-thinking and creative artist, whose history takes in NDW (Palais Schaumburg), techno (3MB) and psychedelic ambience (The Orb), plus a clutch of gorgeous solo albums that explore wide terrain, from the dancefloor through supine home listening to compelling soundtrack work. Fehlmann’s approach here was to ‘capture’ samples of contemporaneous music, “picking up the dirt and dust of original 1920s archive sound and music excerpts and shaping the essence into this selection of tunes,” he recalls. After delivering the material to the editing room, Fehlmann “threw all the pieces up in the air, deliberately lost the overview in consequence, researched the atmospheric thread and assembled it for this album.” That explains the singular nature of the material here, and its ability to sit together so neatly and discretely, as its own entity. For Böser Herbst is a music box of possibilities, shadowed by its historical provenance, but never crudely beholden to it, rather “keeping the references only as a distant nod, a scent.”

It’s certainly an evocative listen, a cornucopia of textural pleasure and sensual, tactile assemblage. The spiralling, psychedelic cycle of “Karnickel” winds its way between the ears like thread to the needle; “Mit Ausblick” immerses the listener in deep, gaseous tones, only to be lifted into the air by the glassy drones of “Umarmt”. “Wunschwechsler” crackles with the unpredictability of weather systems while a guitar-like loop unspools across the horizon. Throughout, you can catch tiny tastes of the source material, but they’re pressed into greater service, Fehlmann using these sources for their evocative capacity and then saturating them with grain and rumble, abstracting outwards. It’s a music of temporal disjuncture and clairvoyant resonance, “speaking with the past – alert, distant and quixotic.”

Sleepy Lou is your midnight slow-motion escape—LoFi vibes so soft they could make the moon hit pause. An acoustic guitar whispers through the night, while subtle orbital textures drift in and out like tiny satellites of sound, setting the scene for a calm, weightless atmosphere.

Built on a slow 6/8 sway, the track gently rocks you forward, wrapped in a sensitive piano mood that doesn’t demand attention—just quietly keeps you company. Add in warm Rhodes tones and a smooth, velvety palette, and you’ve got a ballad that feels like night air: cool, quiet, and comforting.

Perfect for late-night headphones, soft thoughts, and unhurried moments.
Press play, dim the lights—Sleepy Lou’s got the night shift.

An ultra silent ambient piece crafted for final fade and total extinction. 
Faint textures, morphing silences and granular subtleties create a serene minimal soundscape dissolving into stillness.

‘New Atlantis’, @Efdemin aka Phillip Sollmann's 4th album, oscillates between fast, kaleidoscopic techno, multilayered drones and acoustic instrumentation, fusing for the first time Sollmann’s deep dancefloor productions as Efdemin with his sound art and avant-garde music projects. The latter include 2017’s Harry Partch-inspired ‘Monophonie’ performance and 2018’s ‘Panama / Suez’ EP with Oren Ambarchi and Konrad Sprenger.

Sollmann took inspiration for ‘New Atlantis’ from Francis Bacon’s unfinished 17th century novel of the same name, which describes a fictional island devoted to social progress through the synthesis of art, science, technology and fashion. 

Out now: “New Atlantis”, the epic, psychedelic title track off of Efdemin’s upcoming album out February 15 via Ostgut Ton. Across 15 minutes, Efdemin’s experimental spirit is in full swing, with morphing drones/chords generated by a mix of Efdemin’s hurdy-gurdy and drum machines, Konrad Sprenger’s MIDI-controlled Stratocaster, Joachim Schütz’s electric guitar and Nika Son’s synthesizer – recorded live during the quartet’s Tony Conrad tribute concert in Hamburg.

Taken from album: LA OLA INTERIOR: Spanish Ambient & Acid Exoticism 1983-1990
Label: Bongo Joe Records (https://soundcloud.com/bongojoerecordshop)
Release date:  4 february 2021
Format : Double Vinyl (incl. special ed. Blue vinyl) w. full colour booklet liner notes + CD + Digital

Malagueñas 2 is the second single release from Bongo Joe's exploits into the history of the Spanish electronic underground: LA OLA INTERIOR: Spanish Ambient & Acid Exoticism 1983-1990. The compilation features 20 tracks selected from a fertile period of electronic music production and experimentation in Spain, which shines a light on a tape culture movement and buoyed by a fetish for an exoticism of Asia and Africa.

Made in 1990 in Tenerife but left to the archives and untouched, until now, Malagueñas 2 is an intense rush of electronic hypnotism and was discovered by compiler Loïc Diaz Ronda:

"I knew Javier Segura was influenced by acid folk in his first attempts and also that the Canarian Islands are the Spanish threshold to Africa, so I knew there had to be some tracks... Finally, I landed by chance on his youtube channel and discovered a bunch of unrealeased tracks from the early 90's. Among them, there were two versions of Malagueñas. Malagueñas 1 was a track with vocals. Malagueñas 2 was the instrumental version and it blew my mind as soon as i heard it. With its complex sound layers and its hypnotic pulse, the track had this Andalucian / Arabic flavour. It has only been listened to 10 times on youtube! Javier told me he loved this track immensely"

LA OLA INTERIOR COMPILATION
With the Spanish recordings and philosophy of the 'musica discreta' (Spanish ambient) movement overlapping the premise and manifesto of Brian Eno and Jon Hassell's Fourth World, compiler Loïc Diaz Ronda wanted to carve out deserved spaces for the artists involved, as key components within the history of experimental music. This 'post movida' selection features some cult and pioneering artists like Finis Africae, Suso Saiz (Music for Memory) and Miguel A. Ruiz but the majority of artists featured are generally unheard of in Spain or beyond. The album includes two tracks discovered and released for the first time ever (Suso Saiz's Horizonte Paseo & Javier Segura's Malagueñas 2), a handful of digital and vinyl exclusives and provides the musical backdrop to a scene that went under the radar, whilst simultaneously to the east, on the white island of Ibiza, another much publicised revolution, was well underway.
