Welcome to my (listening) Journal.

This is where I share weekly findings in music. It’s basically a recap of what music I’ve discovered and been listening to for the past week. I like to keep finding new music and I use this platform to share it with the world. The stuff you’ll find here is usually covering all aspects of electronic music.

Any suggestions?

Week 7
Sending out love with another week of fresh music. I’ve stumbled across a release by a completely unknown artist called Horizontal Phase, it’s definitely my favorite music of this week. Other stuff includes a debut solo release from Eris Drew, Rrose & Silent Servant combined forces on a diverse compilation and RX-101 brings you back into vintage-Rephlex sounds from 1995.

Last week of January! This week contains only new releases. It has some mind-bending braindance on a new compilation from Massage Brain Cult. De Stijl has released its second EP, and it already contains one of the best ambient tracks this year by Korridor. Aquarian released his first album on Beduoin Records, hard-hitting EBM by Phase Fatale and some lush electro by Credit 00.

Week 2
A lot of different styles in this week. It starts with half an hour ambient from the amazing Malibu. It’ll then take you on some 175 bpm breaks with a lot of acid, and will put you then back on earth with fresh sounds from Konduku.
