"Hlapov", the latest full-length release by Italian musician Grotta Veterano, is a work of patiently arranged, layered beauty. Presented as four movements of a single suite, "Hlapov" offers a sense of great cohesive narrative, supported by its slow buildups and gravitating drones, blending in elements of choral music and expanding, organic rhythms. Ultimately it is music of quasi-sacred contemplation, a meditative journey of profound scale - a precious ornament.

Your eyes are but two pools of infinite emerald green.

GET YOUR FREAK ON Remix - (Missy Elliot) [FREE DL]

Operating in the shadows, just out of sight, orbiting somewhere around Manchester, elusive
producer, ovïd transmits reflective and repetitive messages by way of the Captured Visions
imprint. Low fidelity ambient electronica. Subdued melancholia.
Today's premiere, the title track 'everything changes, nothing perishes' floats on a subtle rhythm sequence layered with delicate, lush pads, sub-bass, and ever-evolving melancholy melody creating peaceful oscillations ideal for a downtime listening.

Taken from "Strapontin - Male Tears EP (Higher Hopes)". Out June 17th 2022. Buy here: https://higherhopesrecords.bandcamp.com

DC Salas’s Higher Hopes returns for its sophomore chapter… ‘Male Tears’, a deliciously sleazy and wry take on the patriarchy from queer polymath, Kiosk Radio resident, visual artist, singer, producer and DJ Strapontin.
“I wanted it to be funny, sassy, with a drama touch,” he tells us. “The track ‘Angry’ is about a frustrated and lonely angry man. ‘Male Tears’ is a sleazy club hit mocking a straight white male friend of mine who is unable to question himself and his privileges. ‘Divorce’ is a joke on marriage and its rules and ‘Teaching Drama’ is, well, about drama queens…”
Drama, hard truths and witty observations: Strapontin’s agent provocateur status is galvanised by the oily basslines, off-grid drums and loose, swathing grooves that prowl out of the speakers and flip devilishly into moments of pure euphoria… And moments of total chaos.
Strap up, strap in… Strapontin is taking us higher. We couldn’t hope for more.

Male Tears

Angry

PREMIERE : Strapontin - Angry (Higher Hopes)

This week a beautiful vocal ambient podcast with Karen Vogt (@karenvogt) and her amazing voice.

Karen Vogt is an Australian artist who uses her voice to create atmospheric, ambient and experimental compositions. She is mostly known for her ethereal, shimmering vocals with dream-pop band Heligoland (@heligoland) who are produced by Robin Guthrie (Cocteau Twins). Originally from Australia, she is now based in France. Across all Vogt’s work, the common thread is her ability to convey and evoke a complex array of emotions. At times raw and arresting, at others gently introspective, Vogt’s vocals possess an undeniable and distinctive emotional charge. She has recently started to release her solo work in the form of vocal and guitar improvisations and is building a growing body of work that fits somewhere between experimental and ambient. She is also half of the duo GALÁN/VOGT that released their debut album The Sweet Wait in November 2021 (featuring works from Akira Rabelais) with a forthcoming album of remixes coming this year.
