Aloe Island Posse - Midnight Selects

Sleepless Tapes is a purveyor of Future Funk for the royal court since 1961, or something like that, you know...

Let's not get carried away here. This album consists of pure love and rhythm. Nothing can be written or said that would surpass a simple but active listening.

Be you on the beach, inhaling barbecue fumes or completely broke and depressed (it happens more often than you think), this music will satisfy your every need. Just listen, everything will be okay.

Live long, and prosper.

Auditive Escape - Sonic Numerals

Auditive Escape is the epitome of dreamy music. There's a lightness in the melodies and a airiness in the rhythms that can't really be described. All in all, there's nothing to throw away.

Sonic Numerals is his latest album, hailing from the distant plains of August 2017... Man, one year already ?

It's a pure concentrate of sublime. The tracks are sometimes atmospheric, not to say stratospheric, and sometimes a little bit more down to Earth. But not too much, because they are all so aerial and ethereal...

Once you've enjoyed this musical jewel, go take a listen to his other works. Particularly... all of them.

Have a wonderful night. Let's hope nothing lame happens in the world until next week at least.

Stellardrone - Light Years

Welcome to the quantic core root of hyperspatial cosmos. The great cycle of life continues on and on, and Psybient makes a comeback, as rapturing as ever.

I let Youtube choose the next album, just once, and I discovered Stellardrone's music, which became an instant favourite. Rich atmospheres, voluptuous soundscapes, a sound that plays hide and seek, even better with headphones... so many musical elements that come together to form a tranquil mass, like a giant water bubble floating through space...

Ok, enough said, just listen to it, then buy it all, then travel to the other side of the world, come back, go back, then we'll talk some more.

Sergeant Thunderhoof - Terra Solus

From Bath in the UK comes Sergeant Thunderhoof, a band who plays with everything that makes Stoner great music, with a pinch of Metal bits sprinkled on top.

Epic solos, rhythms both heavy and powerful, a chtonian and metallic harmony that descends into the depths of the Earth and comes back up snowy wolf-ridden peaks.

The cherry on top, psychedelic visuals exactly like you didn't know you wanted them to be.

Sometimes life is just good and you have to accept it.

A band to follow closely, to be sure.

Offbrand - Comeback

Another beautiful gem found amongst Cheapbeats' catalog.

Comeback places us at both ends of the speakers. It feels like listening to an album that is sometimes calm, soothing and dreamy, some other times energetic and quick-paced, but at the same time, it feels like sitting next to the producers. You can hear them speak, make comments, try things, make mistakes, experiment... and all of this is so magistrally blended that you just get lost in it.

An album of a rare depth, especially in the Chiptune world.

Watch out, tears may occur.
