London-based Slowcraft continues to craft... slow, and quiet, beautiful music... the type of music that I love waking up to and observing the dark sombre sky open up to the world for another short day. For the latest release on this boutique label curated by James Murray, we are gifted with a six-piece album by a Czech composer and field recordist, Tomáš Šenkyřík, titled Hajú, which is an old Moravian word that loosely translates to “hush hush”. Today's track premiere of "Advent" is as appropriate as ever, with the seasonal preparation for the holidays, which began yesterday, November 27th. The word is a Latin adoption of "adventus" which means "arrival," and whether you are of Christian faith or not, the approach towards this time is sensed by everyone. For me, it's like a ramp down off the highway of the year, about to enter through the tunnel, where night and quietude surround a slow transition in-between, before a ramp-up into busy January, where somehow everyone exhales anew. This journey is perfectly soundtracked by Hajú, with its "subtle weaving together of acoustic elements, soft synthetic manoeuvres and evocative field recordings to spellbinding effect." These gentle, minimal, and fragile sounds are cradled further by warm strings and piano keys, concluding with a lovely lullaby, with vocals by Marie Puttnerová, "a modern-day framing of Moravian folklore guided as much by ambient minimalism as the ghosts of Dvořák and Janáček, one in which the family hearth forever glows with unmistakable warmth and generosity of spirit."

In the realm of ambient music, the panorama of sound is vast and uncharted. Logic Moon's latest EP, "Lux," ventures into this expanse, navigating through its depths with precision and grace.

"Lux" is not just an EP—it's a sonic tapestry that stitches together the modernity of contemporary ambient electronic sounds with the sophistication of neoclassical subtleties. Each track unfurls like an auditory landscape, painting scenarios that feel both intimately familiar and intriguingly alien.

One could liken parts of this collection to a space opera, with crescendos that seem to echo the vastness of galaxies and quiet moments that mirror the intimacy of a single star twinkling in the night sky. It's a deep, rhythmic breath, reminiscent of film scores, yet uniquely Logic Moon's own. This is the breath that courses through the heart of modern ambient, blending genres and redefining the boundaries of auditory art.

The ethereal blend in "Lux" captures fleeting moments of brilliance, shadows, and everything in between. It's an invitation to the listener to embark on a journey of introspection, wonder, and transcendence. With every listen, a new layer reveals itself, beckoning you deeper into its intricate intricacies.

Back in 99 is a driving instrumental electronic track built around a pulsing synth bass line and a steady, hypnotic groove. Atmospheric pads evolve beneath crisp percussion. tight kick, snappy snare, and ticking hi-hats, locking into a rhythm that feels both relentless and immersive. With no vocals to distract, the track leans into its minimalism, letting texture and repetition create a dark yet energetic mood. It's a modern throwback with a late-'90s edge: cinematic, focused, and subtly intense. A piece that rewards deep listening, especially for fans of moody, rhythmic electronica.
