  • Floating Mind: Audio Ovni

    https://monokraknetlabel.bandcamp.com/album/monokrak57-floating-mind-audio-ovni

    Sometimes I find random stuff while searching on Bandcamp and it opens a wormhole to another dimension that I never imagined existed. Exhibit 1: monoKraK netlabel. (monokrak.net)

    This album appears to be catalog code “57”. But upon visiting the site the catalog numbers seem to surge to “306”. I can only assume they have recently begun uploading their massive back catalog to Bandcamp. I couldn’t even find the original release date for Audio Ovni, which appears to blast back to before 2013.

    Floating Mind is a prolific artist and from what I can see, makes up the majority of monoKraK releases. Every track I checked out was a beautifully constructed piece of minimal techno. This unlocked wormhole could keep you busy for years…

  • Lobster: Silurian

    Sometimes there’s just stuff in my wishlist and I can’t remember how I found it. And, this may sound facetious, but I’m being genuine: I like that there is almost no information with this release. It may not be the best way to promote an album, but it does say, “If you know, you know.”

    On Bandcamp, it credits ankhsious for the album art. Luckily I was able to search and find their cool instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ankhsious

    Oh, and “master by Filts.” That’s completely ungoogleable. Luckily, this five track release is four solid techno bangers and a cool ambient intro. That’s basically all I really need.

  • Sons of Geometry: Lightstrands

    Hove you ever just clicked on something randomly and been blown completely away? Yeah, so I get tons of emails from Bandcamp and this was a seemingly random suggestion, presented to me amongst many other albums. Something about the name, Sons of Geometry, just screamed at me, “THIS IS SOMETHING YOU WILL LIKE!”

    So, I don’t know anything about this project and there doesn’t seem to be much online in the way of links to check out. The short bio simply reads, “Exploration into the depths of improvised, modular synthesis.” And what more do we need, really?

  • BioFusion: From the Soul

    https://moatun7.bandcamp.com/album/from-the-soul

    Móatún 7 is a label from Iceland that focuses on ambient techno and IDM. It was founded by Futuregrapher in 2018 and has a ton of releases to check out.

    I recently grabbed “From the Soul” by BioFusion, which was released on June 1st of 2024. The physical copies are all sold out, but the digital download is well worth the 7 euro price.

    The tracks are all lightweight, grooving, and uplifting. The album title seems incredibly accurate for this one.
