Kairiko – Black Sparrow

Horse Doctor – Simulated Life
Thank God these 4 dudes that got together to play At The Drive-in, made the brave step to move forward and create their own music; ‘Simulated Life’ is a 5-minute slow-burner thats sets off in a moody, almost hypnotic way, featuring singer-songwriter sensibilities, to explode after the 2nd minute and unleash some volcanic emotion. You may call this indie, or alternative or even emo, this for sure is some great music that will keep you engaged for quite a while….
The Moving Stills – Volcano
This summer’s almost gone, but will keep it in our hearts, thanks to the shimmering indie pop smasher by the Aussie outfit The Moving Stiils. Nostalgic, super catchy, and pure indie gold!
Odonian Drifts – Room 235
An one of a kind neofolk, ambient & indie electronic hybrid, which is a dedication to the memory of writer, para-academic and sound artist Mark Fisher (k-punk) by the solo project of British I.S. Rowley – poet, para-academic and one-fifth of post-punki(ish) outfit Spirits in the Pillar…. Eerie and haunting treasure!
Jonathan Nagel – Now
A 9+ minute elegy, bridging neoclassical, ambient/drone, electro-acoustic and dark wave, that should be experienced during the late hours og night, with dim light, and on headphones… The Dutch artist/composer Jonathan Nagel will be your guide to his unique “space”…
Realizer – The Fog
A meditative acoustic, ambient instrumental composition by Matt C White’s creative vehicle, Realizer, is finely calibrated offering ideal for chilling after a hard day’s work….
Aldartal – There is Only the Dance

3 Electro Knights – I Move In Another Dimension (Peter James ‘Mandy’ Remix)
A massive remix by Peter James ‘Mandy’ on 3 Electro Knights’ ‘I Move In Another Dimension’, which is the absolute, nihilistic, offbeat experience, and features Patti Smith’s extraordinary poetry to unleash an out of this planetary system vibe…. Highly experimental, no wave, kosmische music on psychedelics!
