This is the more well known release featuring Digeridoo, and marks Richard’s first outing on the legendary Belgian label, R&S. Despite the ragged corners of the lo-fi production, there's no denying the track is an absolute monster. The malevolent wailing acid line (more likely generated by a 303 than a tortured sample of an actual … Continue reading Aphex Twin – Digeridoo EP
Fennesz - Black Sea (2008). I find myself listening to much more ambient music these days, as an appropriate backdrop for days spent working from home.

Apart from to say it seems to be part autobiography and part potted … Continue reading 11/06/20 This week I have been mostly listening to
Lone - Levitate (2016). Rapidly becoming one of my favourite electronic acts of the last few years, (and I am very much still in catch-up mode with his discography) it seems Lone, aka Matt Cutler, can do no wrong. I’ve listened to three of his albums in chronological order: Galaxy Garden, Reality Testing and now … Continue reading 06/03/2020 This week I have been mostly listening to
