Stimming is a German artist who has composed some of the best minimal dance music I’ve heard in some time. This is precisely what would drag me onto the dancefloor these days.

After a rather brutal day of running around Tbilisi, switching cabs four times and having to pay a fortune to get home after church, I’m in need of a break, so I will be listening to older albums this evening, courtesy of my NAS and Audirvāna. I can’t say I’m Continue Reading
Tujiko Noriko – My Ghost Comes Back
From Tujiko’s Bandcamp site: “The aptly named My Ghost Comes Back witnesses the return of Tujiko Noriko after a hiatus exploring worlds beyond those we regularly inhabit.

Mystiska Skogen – Den Förtrollade Gläntan
Thanks to the kind soul who introduced me to Mystiska Skogen, a dungeon synth band from Sweden. This mixes an almost neofolk sound with minimal synths and makes for good mood music.
F.P. & The Doubling Riders – Doublings & Silences Vol. I
I discovered this album by F.P. & The Doubling Riders in the 1990s, and I struggled to classify it. While it had an ethereal quality, it shared similarities with bands like Tuxedomoon. I loved the album, but unfortunately, I lost it a few years ago. Thankfully, it has now been Continue Reading

Jeff Gburek – Sprites + Persian Dub Synergies + Raw Radio Captures from Feb 28, 2026
The latest album by Jeff Gburek has quite a story behind it. From his Bandcamp site: “This an album containing three albums. Three swung in a swirl. Three moments of attention framed by the different kinds of time and listening horizons. Sprites is about ephemeral ionospheric lightning such as you Continue Reading
Philippe Petit – The Acoustic Cornet, an hommage to Leonora Carrington
From our friends at Mahorka Records via their Bandcamp site: “Philippe Petit approaches (Leonora) Carrington’s text as one would approach a signal coming from another frequency. Fragments. Resonances. Distorted transmissions. The acoustic cornet becomes a metaphor for listening itself: an instrument that amplifies what society prefers to keep inaudible.”
