Ancient ambient

The eagerly awaited debut EP from Mike Midnight arrives as a special anthology of four tracks, with guest co-production from Lovefear and vox by La Favi and Rhianna.

A Jewel Within A Teardrop is a musical journey into the present, using experiences of the past. The project is filled with rap tropes, strings, and fragmented R&B acapellas that gesture at the artist’s own musical lineage.

Throughout the EP, he sculpts and extends his signature rebirthed grime sound into new terrain - distilling his influences down to a sparse palette of manipulated pop, R&B acapellas, icy synths, and metallic drum samples. The release evokes hope for a new age, drawing upon haunting elements of the past. A Jewel Within A Teardrop is a story about the pain of separating from our past and the joy of our reunion with new beginnings in the present.

London label @tobago-tracks serving up a vital one as @lovefear1 makes his debut album proper

Big on detail, ‘Schema’ imagines symbiotic futures. A spooling suite of sonic sensitivity and dank, lysergic vision, complete with a cameo from Sydney Bass originator 3NDLESS. 

10 tracks found in a hazy interzone of downbeat-adjacent styles, and it’s woozy number ‘Mother Null’ getting the premiere treatment today.

_______________________________________________

After several extensive DIY world tours with his partner in pipes Enora Morice (from Wuhan to Baltimore via Ullapool ?!!), jester in chief Jazz Lambaux recently settled and channeled the material he recorded over the past few years into a manifest album for Éditions Gravats (some of which got released as singles via excellent Brussels-based label City Links and video clips directed by Jazz himself).

Almost 40 years after Baudrillard’s America, Jazz Lambaux offers his own fantasy of TV-fed - mostly white - third millennial suburban America. Music for Fools (2022-2024) is an elegy for a demographic with little-to-no property ownership prospects, entangled in a never ending culture war and a meaningless consumption race - a meager solace for a generation raised on Green Day’s American Idiot and Marilyn Manson’s Portrait Of An American Family.

Contrary to what its title suggests, Music For Fools (2022-2024) is not a mere compilation of tracks and skits lazily extracted from Jazz Lambaux’s hard drive to justify a touring habit. Like most of his fellow buffoons, the Mountain Dew-fueled Punchinello is smarter than he’s willing to pretend, and the narration his debut album offered is among the most uncompromising and cinematographic ones we’ve heard in the early 2020’s.

Punctuated by post-modern vignettes echoing Ol’ Dirty Bastard and Eminem’s own deranged comedy skits (special mention to the goofily Kafkaian “Broken Jukebox in B-Flat Major”), the album progresses towards a relatively radiant conclusion, conjuring the dizzying junk of US teenagealia it emerged from, touched by the grace of MTV-friendly gods. Ecstatic pop songs on steroids (“America”, “Yesterday”, “Paranoid”) - summoning the aforementioned acts - alternate with bittersweet ballads (“Twilight”, “Rockstar”), recalling the heydays of campus radios and Tori Amos’s mainstream avant-garde Boys For Pele. But all songs and instrumentals bath in that same hyperreal uncanniness, a grinning paranoid glow that blossomed in the mid-00’s through works like Gregg Araki’s Kaboom, Richard Linklater’s A Scanner Darkly or Korn’s Twisted Transistor video clip… A trip through America’s guilt, led by a French cousin of the Pied Piper of Hamelin.

"Memory Music" is the debut EP from Danish composer and sound artist David Engelbrecht, aka Dudde, coming out in full on April 24th on katharsis. Crafted over several years through the careful gathering and processing of sonic fragments, the release captures the emotional weight and wonder of sound as memory. Each track is a small time machine, inviting listeners to drift between past and present - those moments when a single sound unlocks a flood of forgotten feelings, places, and people.

Moving seamlessly between ambient textures and sharp, high-paced drum patterns, Memory Music balances clarity and chaos with a sense of play. Breakbeats collide with nostalgic synth lines, melodic motifs shimmer alongside digital shadows, and echoes of vintage videogames flicker in and out like ghosts. It’s music that remembers and reimagines all at once - where fragments of the past become blueprints for the future.
