In a now annual tradition, Tartelet leans into the introspective mood of the winter months with its third compilation of downtempo and ambient titles. The artists involved on this 24-track collection include recent frontliners as well as long-standing extended family and breakthrough talents.

Medusozoa Vol III offers a perfect opportunity to dig into the dimensions of the label not defined by a dancefloor beat. Here, low-slung hip-hop and RnB can sit alongside beatless reveries, head-nodding dub meditations, and nimble, meandering jazz funk alike. If there was ever a question whether the label promotes a broad church of music, here it is in abundance.

The trip begins with long-time Tartelet alumni Max Graef, who makes two appearances on Medusozoa Vol III in his now signature woozy style interspersed with artful sampling. Doc Sleep follows up on her debut solo with a gorgeous foray into submerged, dubby shimmers, and Oakland-based psych-soul star ABUNAI links back up with kissingpractice for another dose of heart-on-sleeve song craft.

Copenhagen-based artist Lord of the Magi takes us on a mesmerising ride of ‘60s psychedelia, perfectly extending his sound nurtured on the Soul Exchange record. And Later Version, a collaboration from Oakland duo DJML and Jerod S. Rivera, sink into an analogue bubble bath of electronic and acoustic sonics. Athlete Whippet’s accomplished, soul-informed sound slips in perfectly, adding a warm, laid back funk to the mix.

While label mainstay Nelson of the East drops a surprise hit sure to get a mass of bodies moving, Space Ghost returns for another blissfully beatless excursion that’s all killer, no filler. Tartelet wizard Glenn Astro also continues to shape out his distinctive path through modern beat constructions and edgy synth snaps.

Fresh label debuts include Mr. Beatnick, who lays down a sumptuous slice of cosmic downtempo boogie, while London-based producer DrumTalk brings his signature deft drum programming mood. Ciel also makes a first appearance on the label with her signature backroom dreamscapes and shimmering, tripped-out style.

With its rich tapestry of mellow sounds to melt into, Medusozoa Vol III offers both a soothing backdrop and something mentally nourishing to fix your mind’s ear on.

Cashmere Radio Specials – Winter Special From Naughty Natalie

Modern Psychosis

NIGHT KRAWLER

🇬🇧 English

Seta Sonora unfolds as a hypnotic blend of minimal techno-dub and experimental soul-jazz, inspired by the immersive depth of Massive Attack’s sonic palette.
Evolving atmospheric pads, warm sub-bass, and soft dub percussion flow together with jazzy chords and subtle Rhodes accents, creating a meditative and cinematic landscape.
Lush reverbs, dub-style echoes, and gentle modulation weave through continuously evolving layers, building a soft yet emotionally rich journey — a delicate sonic fabric where time dissolves and sound breathes.

🇮🇹 Italiano

Seta Sonora è un flusso ipnotico di elettronica minimale e soul-jazz sperimentale.
Un intreccio di pad atmosferici in evoluzione, bassi caldi e avvolgenti, percussioni dub-techno delicate e accenti pianistici sognanti che si muovono con grazia in un paesaggio sonoro morbido e meditativo.
L’atmosfera si espande lentamente: riverberi vellutati, eco dub e modulazioni leggere costruiscono un viaggio sonoro profondo e cinematografico, dove melodia e ritmo si dissolvono in pura tessitura emotiva.
Un’esperienza sospesa tra tecnica e sentimento, astrazione e intimità — come seta che vibra nell’aria.
