Danny L Harle - Crystallise My Tears
92

Unpopular opinion but this is the single I like the most from the album yet? Yes it does have those commercialish ibiza house esque elements but in a very spacey and cool different way, quite different from whats out there, melodically it's awesome and the atmospheres are unreal. Love the vocal processing on oklou aswell!

Tennyson - aka
91

It’s quite a simple but still lovely EP. Possibly another favorite of the year for me, it’ll take some more listens to digest, though.

Favorite songs: the spiral song, you open my eyes, it's idea!, COUGAR

Crimewave - Scenes
77

Enjoyed this album more than I expected. The glitchy synths and vocal work pair really well with the production, creating a distinct futuristic vibe. Some of the final tracks didn’t quite live up to the energy of the beginning, but they were still enjoyable overall.

Favorite songs: Semaphore, Instrumentals, Haemoglobin
Least favorite song: Torrent

ROSALÍA - LUX
93

I'm out of words. Sincerely beautiful and perfectly crafted. Nothing out there feels like this.

Favorite songs: Porcelana, Reliquia, Magnolias, Mio Cristo Piange Diamanti
Least Favorite songs: La Perla

Camille Keller - Lack of G-LIP
68

Beautifully crafted production and concept. An album pretty enjoyable with it's moments that is not too pretentious but wakes some interesting feelings overall.

Favorite songs:FW2028, dog-tired
Least favorite song: Mid backstabber

DJH - Nine Shells High
45

A project that falls a bit too short — nothing here really piqued my interest except for the last track. The vocal work feels a little forced and lazy, even though some of the production choices are genuinely cool. I’m just not fully sold on the overall result, especially on the songwriting end.

Favorite song: Idle Breathe Morning Star
Least favorite song: Switch

Oklou - choke enough (Deluxe)
95

An already perfect album gets new records that feel like could be material for a brand new album aswell. No notes, pure perfection.

Favorite songs: dance 2, the fishsong unplugged, what's good

Geese - Getting Killed
93

I'm getting killed by a pretty good life. In times of despair and hopelessness, an album this revolutionary and thought-provoking almost feels like being given a second chance to fight and make things right. Pretty much no notes, excellent album.

Favorite songs: Getting Killed / Trinidad / 100 Horses / Taxes
Least favorite song: Long Island City Here I Come

Leon Vynehall - In Daytona Yellow
58

An album with some enjoyable bits but mostly inconsistent and all over the place. Some of the production work feels amazing, but then some others feel incomplete and amateur.

Favorite songs: Scab / New Skin Old Body / A Jagged Promise
Least favorite songs: You Strange Precious Thing / Romantica / Whip

Tiffi M - Heartstrings
64

Very interesting find, lots of beautiful atmospheres and textures on this record. That being said, I’m not sure if it's entirety stood out too much to me; I might have to give it a few more listens. Still, a very enjoyable record overall.

Favroite song: Crescendo / Fantasy
Least Favorite song: Heartstrings

okgiorgio - ko mixtape
90

I believe this is okgiorgio's most mature and elaborated project yet, it really feels like he’s developing his sound into something more intimate and personal to his Italian roots. A super enjoyable dance record with a few moments that almost feel ambient, plus some crazy guitar work too. I’ll definitely be keeping an eye on this man’s direction more often.

Favorite songs: ko ciao / ko sento / ko espira / ko eco / ko cuore / ko penso (pretty much the whole album ... read more

Eden Burns - And The Make Believers
71

Pretty funny and quirky album from Eden Burns, this time showing off his most electronic side, making it a very cool, light Sunday listen.

Favorite songs: Bug Song / Story So Far / Vocal Tune / So Good
Least favorite song: Slow Thing

AceMo - AceMo Edits Vol. 1
63

Cool collection of club edits of certain classics, some interesting samples here and there, and some nice grooves overall. Pretty enjoyable comp!

Favorite songs: Follow The Light (Nick Leon Edit) / TITS / I <3 UR :)
Least favorite songs: I'm On!

Headache - Thank You For Almost Everything
85

There's something about Headache that always feels so relatable. The spoken word stories and poetry, the way some of them carry slight touches of hope and heartbreak at the same time. It's such a touching, funny, and soothing album that it almost feels like finding a home in someone else's experiences. Vegyn was outstanding as usual with his break-based production, and the guitar work is terrific.

Favorite songs: Nineteen Sixty Five, Must Undo Tomorrow, The Joy Is Ours

KETTAMA - Archangel
58

An album that somehow feels messy, but has its fun moments too. The flow of the tracks and how they’re placed together isn’t exactly my favorite thing. Some of the production feels rushed, and I think it could’ve been something more elaborate overall. Besides that, it’s still pretty fun, and “Do Not Go Gentle” is certainly one to save.

Favorite song: Do Not Go Gentle / Air Maxes
Least favorite song: Archangel

Jouska - How Did I Wind Up Here?
72

The instrumentation, production, and atmosphere on this album are absolutely stunning. It’s definitely an album to listen to in the fall and doom yourself with memories of summer. That being said, as a whole, it works as a pleasant journey — though some tracks feel like fillers to me, it really winds you up in its entirety.

Favorite songs: 2003 / California / I Let It Happen / Courageous: Shy
Least favorite song: Should Have Seen It Coming

Tame Impala - Deadbeat
66

Even if very inconsistent, it has some moments that grabbed interest. "Ethereal Connection" was something I did not expect to hear on a Tame Impala album but absolutely loved it, can hear the Chem Bros / Underworld influences.
