KENNETH JAMES GIBSON, one of the most multifaceted artists in electronic music today, enlists for the fourth instalment in our POP AMBIENT artist album series - he's the mastermind behind the Adjunct Audio label and projects as diverse as [a]pendics.shuffle, Eight Frozen Modules, Reverse Commuter, neo-americana duo Bell Gardens (with Stars Of The Lid's Brian McBride) or noise pop band Furry Things. On THE EVENING FALLS, he deviates from his other, more beat-infused work and explores vast aural landscapes with an intricately woven tapestry of swelling string drones, shimmering pedal steel  and minimalist piano motives.

The first strictly ambient solo offering from this incredibly versatile composer and musician reveals a delicate sense for rich, ruminant textures and fine-grained synth buzz dispensing organic highs on tracks like opening movement TO SEE YOU DRIFT, the Polaroid-colored LONG GONE CANADIAN SUMMER, the meditative A CONVERSATION BETWEEN FRIENDS or terraforming blues LATERAL DECOMPOSITION. The iridescent quality of these recordings almost appears to be born out of an auditory illusion - with the arrangements seemingly evolving in time lapse and slow motion at the same time.

The natural, wholesome flow of the album certainly finds itself influenced by Gibson's recent move to a 6000 ft. mountain community called Idyllwild. While two of the tracks on THE EVENING FALLS were started in LA about two years ago, for them and others to get fully realized, he needed to transition away from inner city roaming: "my wife and I heard the calling of the mountains for a while - getting deeper into meditation and nature and a slower way of life. There've been beatless tracks on many of my albums, but this is the first full-scale ambient album I've done... I simply needed to find the right focus." The result is a masterful new addition to our growing series of Pop Ambient full-lengths, presenting the fully-formed vision of a veteran producer who never lost his taste for sonic adventure.

JEPE
From the vibrant shores of Portugal to the pulsating heart of Berlin, Jepe has carved out a unique and captivating presence in the global electronic music scene.

Jepe's musical journey began in Aveiro, a coastal town near Porto, where he was drawn to the rhythmic energy of the ocean. At just 16 he had his own radio show, and by 19 he was already commanding the decks at one of the biggest clubs in his hometown. 

As one half of duo Johnwaynes, he made waves with releases on   Mulemusiq, Compost Records, Get Physical, and Cecille. And in 2013, Jepe embarked on a solo path, spanning top labels such as Diynamic, Moodmusic ++. 

As founder of rising label Eastern Standard, Jepe is also a visionary curator. And as a skilled mix engineer at Berlin’s renowned Blackhead Studios, he cultivates his perfectionism in both analog and digital rhythmical landscapes.

Get Physical Music welcomes back longtime favorite Niconé with “What Do U Know” — a vibrant, genre-blurring single that leans into disco-inspired euphoria while keeping one foot firmly on the dancefloor.

Out July 11, 2025, this release sees the Berlin-based maverick at his most playful and melodic, fusing rich strings, warm synth textures, crisp disco drums, and catchy vocal snippets into a feel-good groove that’s as much for listening as it is for dancing.

Known for constantly reshaping the boundaries of electronic music, Niconé brings his signature edge to a sound that’s brighter and more carefree — but no less bold. “What Do U Know” pulses with charisma and charm, offering a moment of levity that still hits with club precision.

Niconé has long walked the tightrope between outsider and icon, never following the rules but always setting a vibe. With appearances at clubs and festivals across the globe, he’s built a reputation for unpredictability and pure musical energy. Whether you’re grooving at home or under open skies, this one brings the bounce.

Out July 11 on Get Physical Music — “What Do U Know” is the disco-tinged, string-laced summer jam you didn’t know you needed.

What Do U Know

There are rhythms that don’t need to be explained. They strike like a mantra. They drag you in without asking.

Upercent opens the first sign of Cult Order with Badabam, emerging as a dense discharge, pulsing with invocation. Every hit carries intention. Every pause breathes omen. The central line twists like heated iron, warping space without warning.

It’s a signal. A call that needs no reply.
Only those who’ve been before will know what it means.

Cult Order. Nothing is by chance.
