Enigmatic Japanese producer Shinichi Atobe evokes a range of sensations in his music that few others can. Whether he's listened to in headphones on a long journey, on the sofa on a lazy Sunday, deep into an afters or during a peak time reprieve, the rich, vivid strokes of his heady work has equal power to relax, heal, move, energise, envelop and flaw. 

Another scholar of patient tension-building in electronic music, Prins Thomas included Atobe in the footnote homage of his sixth album, alongside luminaries from all sounds and ages. As a mark of how much Atobe's work has impacted on his own, Thomas has paid tribute with an hour mix.

FE013

Devoid of Reactions hums in its guttural, enduring beauty: a server resolving its own error state, infinitely in vacuous corridors, sprawling with endless instantiations of self. The air in it tastes of Tallinn in winter: iron, salt, damp stone. Hiss and mutter; bass pooling to the neck, thick and mineral, cooling and bubbling. Written in dust residue from seismic activity above, condensation rings on a steel table, fingerprints in the corner of a control panel, the slow ache of a signal that reaches further than comprehension. Echo Lucida keeps the map folded and trudges through.

Opaque (ft. Otto Taimela)

Notta records founder Needless delivers a short yet warm set of quality tracks.

Nottamix [15] - Needless

Otto Taimela returns with his second album for London ambient free divers SWIMS, following 2024’s celebrated "Inner Beauty".

"Uncommon & Fragile" departs from Otto's meadowed, ivory-centric introspections, reaching further into binaural sound design, trance pointillism, and groundswells of angular percussion. This is less a club record, more something to soothe post-rave tinnitus on the bus home. 

”I guess you could say that this is the outcome of a great need for escapism. I’m not the biggest fan of the current timeline, so I wanted to make something pretty, splashy, colourful and quirky just for myself. Embracing simplicity in a way of leaning towards maximalism without getting too suffocated. It’s a ’dear diary’-kinda album….”
