---------
Tor is a DJ/producer hailing from Vancouver who’s consistently released his signature brand of electronic music since 2011. His debut 10-track LP, Drum Therapy, released on Loci Records arrived in 2012 and in 2016, his sophomore album Blue Book was released via the same imprint & both would go on to gain over 20 million combined hits across all platforms to-date. Over time, he’s graced the stages at some of the world’s most renowned events and festivals, like Electric Forest, Lightning in a Bottle, Shambhala, Envision, Basscoast, Oregon Eclipse, & The Do Lab stage at Coachella to name a few.

After busy periods of making music & touring, the newfound sense of home & permanence now felt by Tor can be heard throughout Oasis Sky. Set to release on own imprint, Eleuthera Music, the new album marks an exciting new point for the acclaimed electronic musician.

OASIS SKY
Oasis Sky is Tor’s first original body of work since his revered 2016 album, 'Blue Book'. It expands on the latter’s meditative energy with the producer’s signature warmth and beat-driven atmospherics, while digging deeper into the experiences and emotions that have informed the past 4 years of his life. From a hefty touring schedule that saw the Vancouver-based producer playing his music across the U.S., E.U., Australia, & Costa Rica, in addition to busy periods of time spent working on remixes for artists including Clozee, Odesza, and Rüfüs Du Sol, the album only began to come into focus after slowing down, establishing roots, finding centre and introspection in a new living space.

"For me, this album is a reflection on my sense of home....it's a highrise apartment, looking out over rooftops, trees, and mountains. It’s filled with plants and flowers, and to me, it feels like an oasis in the sky.” Eliciting this otherworldly feeling of an oasis in the sky, lead single, 'Foxglove' arrives as a vibrant exploration of melody and rhythm, featuring bittersweet piano and warped keys alongside sliding bass and clattering hi-hats. Parallel to these new expeditions in synthesis and sound design, sampling continues to play an important part in his process and throughout the album, Tor has pulled from an eclectic palette: textures and snippets from Finnish folk hymns, spiritual jazz, prog rock, ‘60s Rwandan field recordings, early ambient & experimental records all add a distinctive depth to the album’s 10 tracks.

The release of “Oasis Sky” & Tor’s reflections of home come after being on the move for much of his upbringing & early adult life, as his family moved between W. Canada, Montréal, & Australia before finally  Vancouver. This kinetic lifestyle would continue with his blossoming career as a musician, taking him off touring the world while balancing day jobs and side gigs. With the world slowing down due to the ongoing global health crisis, he was able to find inspiration in the newly found time and space, removing distractions and finding stillness to hone in on the themes & inspiration that would define this new album.

The impression of home & grounding is also expressed in the album’s series of striking floral artwork, created by Portland-based artist, Slater Knight. 'Oasis Sky' lands April 30th on vinyl & digital formats.

@bonobo

When some faraway species reads stories to their youth about the history of mankind, the section on "Greatest Minds In Electronic Music History" will surely have a hefty chapter on Simon Green, better known to the world as Bonobo. For over a decade, Green has been capturing our membranes with his brilliantly architected brand of downtempo organic rhythms, swaying in the winds between beat-centric trip-hop, lush heavy basslines, and beautifully structured layers of live instrumentation.

Gelka - Floating Imagination Mixtape

This was a unique event - a meditation and somatic ecstatic dance powered by the beautiful, psychedelic music of Jon Hopkins. It was such a pleasure for me and Felix to dig in and explore Hopkins' discography, crafting over two hours of music. We went from deep relaxation and a guided meditation through to incredible peaks. Thank you to Felix for trusting me on this one and creating the space for this to take place at OMUK - an incredible venue in central London with an acoustically treated room and superb sound system. Thanks also to the Temenos dancing crew who made this such a focused and contained journey. I've included my facilitation for home practice.

Jon Hopkins Ecstatic Dance with FX10K, Temenos, Feb 2025.

“SILVORIS” drifts like a silver reflection over still waters, where lo-fi textures meet cinematic auroras. At ~74 BPM, the track unfolds slowly, layering gentle rhythms with airy harmonics in A#, creating a dreamscape of calm yet dynamic energy. The balanced stereo field lets every detail shimmer like light across a quiet lake, while a wide 31 dB dynamic range keeps the atmosphere alive and breathing. With its soft -18 LUFS loudness and warm headroom, the sound feels both intimate and expansive.

It’s music designed for late-night reflection, creative focus, or timeless wandering. Jazz undertones ripple beneath ambient currents, while subtle neo-soul phrasing adds depth and warmth. “SILVORIS” is not just a track, but a silver passage through sound and silence.

Translippers is a psy-dub project of Arthur Mustafin, a composer and music performer from Saint-Petersburg, Russia. In 1984 he gained experience in jazz and rock`n`roll bands as a bass player, but in 2011 this changed with his trip to India, where he seriously got into ethnical instruments. This led to Arthur incorporating these instruments into his own production, which significantly transformed his sound.

The perfectly mixed dub rhythm will relax your body, and the atmospheric electronica will inspire you. Prepare yourself to discover an entrancing blend of cultures through distinct flavors of Scandinavian and African drums, ethno-jazz vocals, chants of Miao from China and Chukchi from Yakutsk, Eastern and Latin American percussions, Indian sitar and Arabic oud, guitar, and harmonica.

Microcosmos Records presents a “Freedom Here”, debut album of a Xodie, remarkable music artist from Saint-Petersburg, Russia.

The album combines a variety of electronica music concepts with ethnic instrumentation, psychedelic themes, and environmental sounds. Altogether, the result is an intense audial immersion. Woven through the trip-hop, ambient, IDM, and glitch influences, Xodie’s Freedom Here is a powerful mood booster for a spiritually balancing trip.

For those yet to experience that Xodie’s new and original musical concepts produce, Freedom Here will be a blissful journey through the imaginative downtempo soundscapes. The album — richly diverse with sweeping dips through a dynamic universe of sound — culminates in the crescendo of the album’s final track.

MIKROGRAVITY - Microcosmos Chillout & Ambient Podcast 021

There is beauty amidst the spaces in between. Phaeleh has been releasing music since 2008 and throughout this time has produced three albums. On the eve of his latest release it seems somewhat fitting to reflect on his contributions to electronic music. The discourse of his music has seen him veer right and left between uk bass culture and somewhat cinematic soundscapes. Never standing still Phaeleh has taken influence from a range of genres and continues to explore the realm of possibilities within sound. Titled "Illusion Of The Tale" he speaks bluntly about the roots and origins of the release. 

“The album title is my polite way of saying we live in a world of bullshit and bullshitters. Essentially I feel we all live in a constant lie, whether it be our Facebook profile pictures, the need to present our lives as perfect, with good looking partners, intelligent children, the perfect job etc."

Ahead of the release of the record on the 14th of October we asked him to contribute to our Monday mix series as he delves deep through the depths of his record collection.
