Beyond Boundaries is a 10-track playlist aiming to feature 10 “out-of-the-box”, outstanding gems!  Not exactly unclassified, but certainly unique and uncommon.

“Sound Explorer”: Christos Doukakis

Tronlec

(cyberpunk, synthwave, progressive metal)

Quick pitch: Synthwave with touch of instrumental progressive metal vibes within a cyberpunk universe by Finnish outfit Tronlec.

WE Junior

(neo soul, experimental hip-hop, ‘wave’)

Quick pitch: Using and creating a mix of urban sound as hip-hop, jazz, avant-pop, soul…. ‘Out-of-the-box’ aural treat!

Wallace Ayers

(experimental electronic, noise)

Quick pitch: This song was made 3 hours after an artist’s psychotherapy session and Ayers typically have high levels of stress afterwards due to their intensive methods. “Brain-fuck”

Alexander

(harsh noise wall, noise)

Quick pitch: The opening track from Alexander début album, ‘Mot maskinen’ is a harsh noise wall magnum opus for the end times….A reaction to the increased standardisation of popular music!

L’Rain

(indie r&b, jazztronica, art pop)

Quick pitch: A heart-rending and reflective track about guilt and loss, is accompanied by a surreal and esoteric music video directed by Andy Swartz and starring Happi Da Klown. Unclassified gem! Album out on Mexican Summer next month!

John Mailander

(nu jazz, psych folk, improvisation)

Quick pitch: This improvisation, psych, nu jazz, 6 minute masterpiece is named after “Magnolia“, and it just couldn’t be anything less than an absolute must for sound explorers!

The BlueStocking

(progressive rock, art rock)

Quick pitch: The opening track on The BlueStocking’s brand new EP, ‘Bloom’. is a sultry and hypnotic slow-burner, a celebration of life and the blossoming of desire…

Nicolas Tourney

(experimental, drone)

Quick pitch: Experimental musician, digital artist and manager of the label Snow in Water Records, Nicolas Tourney focuses on questions relating to perception and the act of listening. A 13-minute, experimental, drone experience that will rocket you to the ‘exo-sphere’…. 

CALMDOWN

(ft. Thëar)

(experimental electronic, trip-hop, electro pop)

Quick pitch: A track which represents an addiction to continuously, repeating same patterns of a self – damaging behaviour because it gives a feeling, of security, of something that is familiar, something known and the difficulty to detach from it. Outstanding production and atmosphere!

Byrd

(glitch, experimental electronic, avant pop)

Quick pitch: As if David Lynch directed your brains inner catacombs, and revealed your deepest, darkest secrets. ‘Sæt Mig Ud’ is an anti-single, that focuses on the dark filters and desolate echo chambers, and Byrd is a band that dares to focus on the unexplainable.
