This 18th edition of Ready to be your Soundtrack includes the enchanting neoclassical/cinematic composition (with bassoon as the key instrument) by Bulgarian act Silfredim, a precious indie pop treat  by LA band WILD (from their new EP ‘Yours & Mine’), the stunning idm/dubstep, ala eraly-era Burial, dark opus by French outfit HAELIUM, the addictive indie electronic anthem influenced by “the nostalgia about an endless summer night in Berlin”, from Swedish darlings MOA, a compelling post rock track -inspired by the realization that legacy is not about physical things accumulated though our time on Earth, but about the impact on those you leave behind-, by the American outfit Why Coyote Why, the ‘hazy’ synth-pop new, ‘hurricane-powered’ song, by the great Besnard Lakes’ core-member Sheenah Ko, some chill-hop excellence from Houis, an alluring neoclassical/minimal electronic amagalm, from Japanese composer, musician, Fairly tale writer & visual artist Yasuaki Ishikawa. an ear-melting, instrumental track inspired by 70’s latin disco & afro-funk from Banana Belt, the avant-garde-ish, electro techno ear-candy (created using only a smartphone!)  by Japanese “tech-freak” Gyazai Gyozo.
