Number nine of Funnuvojere’s catalogue is signed by label founder Massimiliano Pagliara, and comes as a collaboration with CockTail d’Amore resident Luigi Di Venere. Banana Moon is the name of their duo, an acronym born on a summer night walk in the south of Italy, hinting as well to the legendary 1970s Florentine Rock Club. Delphinium Blue is the title of this debut EP. A flower favoured by Derek Jarman, it evokes feelings of joy and warmth, urging us to open to new experiences. The Italo proto-house Tie Me Up sounds like a demand. An unorthodox arpeggio drives the slinky rhythm, crowded by luxurious vocals flared by cheeky claps.
Breaks, a funky bass and a joyous organ characterize the Chicago neoclassic Full Service, making us the wish for a crowded dance floor under the light of the moon.
On the flip the tittle track Delphinium Blue (Kabuki Mix) is a theatre of sounds inspired by Detroit techno, a genre much esteemed by Banana Moon. This track evokes a sweaty warehouse on fire with hedonistic pleasures. A proud nightingale discusses harmony with a 303 while exquisitely crafted drum patterns build up to a technologic Samba. Closing the EP Polyamory sings to interspecies love, leading us for a swim in the blue depths grasping the tail of a playful whale. While the track’s title dreams of unlimited summer love, this song confirms the duo’s unconditional passion for the Italo groove.

Ben Howard - Among The Trees

Among The Trees - Ben Howard

Manchester native Loz Goddard has been crafting high quality releases since 2015, garnering early support from the likes of Mr. Scruff, Mike Huckaby, Move D and Session Victim. The ever-eclectic producer has since partnered up with esteemed labels such as Seb Wildblood’s Church imprint and deep-house institution - Quintessentially, Loz has since reinvented his sound with an experimental edge and a penchant for live instrumentation.

His latest work has been manifested in the form of the ‘Balloon Tree Road’, an LP set for release on Oath - purveyors of visionary electronic decadence, heavily conceptual and forward-facing in their creative output. We caught up to hear about his latest work, next to premiering one of the album tracks.

Comme Des Garçons is a statement piece from Front Bench. Across 41 minutes, he announces himself as an artist keen to tell a deeper story, as he ditches format and enters the sprawling, moody longform.

Through moments of synthy ambience, electronic hip-hop, sample-heavy dubstep, and full-blown vocal pop, these 10 tracks - written in two lonely lockdown weeks - pensively reflect on what has been a challenging and formative period.

London’s Holly Wilks makes a stunning vocal appearance on I Would’ve Meant It, the album’s jewel, and regular collaborator Tom Jarmey lends glitchy production to For A Very Long Time, as the album winds to its finale.

Comme Des Garçons marks an experimental shift towards a more commercially structured
sound, and marks an evolution for Front Bench, as well as for the sonic direction of his label.

Hot on the heels of 001, Tonal Oceans proudly presents 6 carefully selected tracks from Nicole Skeltys' rather extensive catalog.

Compiling tracks from her Artificial alias, TNL-OCS002 consists of material which draws from her self-released 12"s, a long lost 7" lathe cut, as well as some CD-only material.

Being active since the 90's, Nicole has paved her way through many genres and moods, which together represent all things "Antipodean Electronica" excellently.
Also features a track from close friends Dark Network.

PREMIERE : Artificial - Bibliotheque Nadir Aux Pommes

In the Ukrainian-speaking album "Dreams of Trees | Сни Дерев", I explore the themes of
the ambiguity of dreams and their origins, nostalgia for pre-war times, and fear of the future.
The metaphorical image of sleeping trees symbolizes a postponed life. I used recordings
from the air made during 2023-2024 to deepen the atmosphere of the tracks and create
a sense of presence. These include sounds from the Carpathian Mountains, children playing
in a Lviv’s fountain, the noise of Kyiv streets, a children's choir, and more.

Each track represents a separate dream with blurred lines between surrealism and reality, where
one does not want to wake up. The layered vocals create a feeling of altered consciousness, and
the mystery of dreams brings both a sense of calm and anxiety. The entire album has a thoughtful dynamic and dramaturgy, divided into three parts: nostalgia for pre-war times, the realities of today, rebirth and faith in a bright future.

This album is my transformation between 2022 and 2024, a journey where the silence whispers
of ancient fears and unknown secrets, revealed only to those willing to feel them. The covers, like
the music itself, immerse you in this world where everything intertwines, changes, and exists
outside of time, in loud sounds and silence simultaneously.
