Sign InBerlin based Jonathan Jarzyna, JJ Weihl, Lucas Ufo, and Will Samson make up dream-pop outfit Fenster. This release is the culmination of a crowd-funded project to make a film. EMOCEAN is a debut experimental sci-fi music film, written, directed, edited, co-produced, starring and co-shot by the band and accompanied by a full motion picture soundtrack by the band. The film itself begins as a documentary about the band struggling to finish their third record when they accidentally get transported into an alternate dimension. In this surreal and disorienting landscape, nothing is what it seems… This OST on Morr Music is a beautifully drawn excursion into reverb-addled psych, Toro Y Moi pop-shapes, and sweetly lysergic arrangements to send you into deep reverie.
Starting life as a thrash band back in 2013 with a sought after 7" it's taken two quiet years for Helen to release this hugely anticipated debut long player. The group, composed of Jed Bindeman, Scott Simmons and Liz Harris pulls together a fine blend of swirling ambient shoegaze pop recalling The Chills and Psychocandy fuzz but perfectly fragmented with the would-rather-be-sleeping drone folk of Harris's Grouper project across the twelve tracks on show. Brimming with warmth and catchy pop melodies but laid with a healthy dose of outsider angst this is one to spend some proper time with.

West Coast boogie-soul demon Dam-Funk returns with his second album for Stones Throw. Invite The Light is packed with a variety of guest stars, from Q-Tip to Snoop Dogg to Ariel Pink to Nite Jewel to ’80s R&B hit singer Jody Watley, but the album’s star remains Dam-Funk himself, who injects the record with gurgling grooves and a ceaseless, sleazy swagger. Not one to retread old ground, Funk even tries his hand at hazy house music on ‘O.B.E.’.

As a founding member of New York label White Material, DJ Richard helped introduce the world to the incomparable talents of artists like Galcher Lustwerk and Young Male. His first album, however, comes out through beloved Berlin imprint Dial Records – a relationship forged when DJ Richard moved to the city from New York. The album actually charts DJ Richard’s alienation in his adopted city, looking back at his original hometown of Rhode Island for inspiration. The result is a record that’s sometimes gorgeous and at other times quite sparse and withdrawn, with many tracks that seem to hang motionless in mid-air.

Every gameboy's dream comes true courtesy of Ghostly International, the eternally memorised in anyone who has played its mind soundtrack to cult indie game Minecraft arrives in a radiant vinyl and CD pressing. We don't need to tell you about the game as its legendary status far outweighs anything we could ever say that has not been said before, but! the soundtrack composed by C418 in a fitting attribute is also a limitless world of pre-composed ambient new age and modern classical atmospheres. All with an endless reach of serenity where perfectly crafted blocks of sound delicately form beside each other creating vast backdrops onto which all manner of instruments are absorbed. Piano keys lightly fall like raindrops while stringed arrangements ripple underneath and 8-bit melodies glide throughout. C418 has created one of the true pinnacles of what Eno described as 'ambient music' where the soundtrack truly has a real unobtrusive feeling to it, and to the music it does not matter if you listen to it or not as it does its own thing and plays lightly in the background regardless. But at the same time it works remarkably well as a standalone piece of music and dissected from the game within it will forever be joined, it is an LP of sparkling flexibility that will appeal to admirers of everyone from Bruce Brubaker & Oneohtrix Point Never to Caustic Window.
Due to the limited nature of this release, the coloured vinyl is strictly one per customer.

On Beach House’s fifth album Depression Cherry, Victoria Legrand and Alex Scally strip back the booming drums and loud, large-scale production of 2012’s Bloom and return to a more simplified take on dream pop. The impressionistic guitars and synths are still pushed to the front, but there is a greater emphasis on melodic songwriting and the interplay of instrumentation here, from the downbeat pop songwriting of ‘Bluebird’ to the sublime balladry of ‘Wildflower’.

Discreet Desires is the culmination of Helena Hauff's vision of dystopian Detroit electro with a European post-punk experimentalism that she has been carving into the underground across a series of 12"s and mixes for, amongst others; Blackest Ever Black, Lux, Handmade Birds and PAN (with F#X in the acidic techno group Black Sites) However it's on Werk Discs / Ninja Tune that she has found a home for her synth-heavy new beat-referencing experiments in analogue electro. Having grown up on a strict diet of music she could find in her local library and cutting her teeth as a resident in the notorious Hamburg joint the Golden Pudel (a true testament to her skills as a selector is that she had an RA mix out before her first record was released) her debut drop on wax Actio Reactio paved the way forward while the world tried to catch up. Across ten tracks Discreet Desires, her debut LP proper divulges in aquatic Dopplereffekt-referencing electro science as found within the waves of 'Spur' to more slowed-down 80's referencing Kraut experiments such as 'Piece of Pleasure' which whilst having an eye on the past still comes across with a slice of futurism and a timeless element missing from a lot of current electronic music. 'Tryst' is pure UR Bubble Metropolis while 'Silver Sand & Boxes of Mould' is greyscale psychedelica but with a playful punch. A sublime LP that joins the dots between the recent rediscoveries of Regis and the underwater worlds inhabited by Drexciya from one of the most unique voices out there today.
Dial mainstay (and purveyor of Bleep favourite, Glass Eights, c.2010) John Roberts launches his new label Brunette Editions, described as a platform for music, printed matter, recordings and books, with this solo two-track 12" entitled Orah. Made on the archaic MPC2000, ‘Orah’ crackles with the fragility of old hardware, suffused with floppy-disk grain. Roberts has always been expert at finding space deep in the mix down, ‘Orah’ is no different’. Its minimal elements (SAW-style keys, shuffling percussion, naive squeaks, beeps and bloops) play beautifully together across a track that signals the return of serious electronic music producer. A new album is promised for Dial alongside further Brunette Editions material, but this will suffice the heads for now.

Abul Mogard lands on Walls’ Ecstatic label with Circular Forms, an album of longform analogue synth compositions constructed using Farfisa organs and a self-built modular synthesizer. Mogard avoids the trappings and pitfalls that a lot of musicians fall into when they get their mitts on a modular synth, instead focusing on creating warm, soulful, evocative music that feels more interested in the emotional heft of their sound than the tools used to create it.

Australian group F Ingers line up a debut album for Blackest Ever Black that’s both haunting and haunted. Comprised of Carla del Forno and Tarquin Manek (both members of electronic outfit Tarcar) alongside Samuel Karmel, the band write dead-eyed pop songs deploying gangling guitar lines, mesmeric synths, and detached vocals. It’s faint, druggy, and hazy, but there are occasional snatches of something tangible and almost nostalgic that stops it from sounding affected.

UK-based record label Discrepant issue the second album from Romperayo, a group led by Colombian percussionist Pedro Ojeda. The self-titled Romperayo is a solid album of psychedelic cumbia, adding a somewhat demented spin to uptempo ‘descarga’ jams and Latin American folk. Although rooted in ‘70s cumbia styles, Ojeda and co. bring in contemporary sampling techniques and electronics to bring the record bang up to date, and they present it all with a manic sense of humour.

Lotic continues his future-leaning club-rooted grime RMX of Vulnicura highlight 'Notget' with the more darker Fromdeath version. Picking up where the Keptsafe left off, its sweeping synths and intact vocals treading a dream-like stare, Fromdeath takes the twisted grinding liquid drumroll and chops out the vocals original flow. Letting the machines take full control, Lotic brings to life a feel of urgency dubbed with a tight-fisted digest everything internet electronics feel that is part Matrix nightmare and part music concrete drum & bass tempo rooted futurism thats unlike much else you will hear this year. An incredibly original piece of work and possibly the finest remix in the series.

Sublime boxset of work from legendary folklorist and genre-crossing artist John Fahey. 4 Men With Beards have really outdone themselves with this one, drawing together six LP's from John Fahey's extensive back catalogue they have created what can be seen as the perfect intro to his work and also a timely reminder of the genius of the man by presenting six of his best albums in one place. We really don't need to say much about these legendary recordings as the music speaks for itself but if you are not familiar we urge you to check this lavishly packaged box set out and immerse yourself in the company of one of the finest musicians to ever pick up a guitar.

Dutch producer Anti-G reappears for the first time since 2011 with this EP for Rwina Records. Much like his earlier output for Planet Mu, there is a lo-fi charm to the cuts on Kush In Da Sound which come through like a hybrid of Chicago footwork, the indefinable club music coming from Lisbon’s Principe camp and the frenetic sounds of pirate radio era grime. What The Fack! is a real twisted party-starter while Reload The Hype up System manages to do exactly what the title suggests. Kush In Da Sound is a welcome comeback from an ominous and troublemaking producer.
