Racecorner – Radiostation (Insectorama118)
Racecorner is a new artist on Insectorama and presents us his album Radiostation. 6 incredibly deeply melodic dubtechno tracks, some with a magically reduced tempo. That lead us into a hypnotic depth in meditation and relaxation clouds, through rhythm and functionality.

Despite what the moniker suggests, Laptop Kid is no newcomer on the electronic scene.
Over the last twenty years we have seen him work on a number of EPs and albums – often distributed for free on his website or lately on his bandcamp page – under several pseudonyms that allowed him to explore a very wide range of styles.
We had been talking for some time about resurrecting Rodoid to give some of his most recent work the exposure it deserved when he submitted a four track EP that we instantly recognized as the next recording we wanted to release.
We were impressed from the first listening, as it sounded very clear to us that the countless influences that had so far been compartmentalized in a plethora of different projects had eventually been digested and carefully combined into a very personal and coherent musical aesthetic.
The initial four tracker was later expanded into a full album, and we are very proud to present you the first LP ever released on Rodoid.
Over the course of a forty-minute ocean themed journey, Laptop Kid leads us through carefully crafted electronic landscapes where experimental beats meet ethereal atmospheres, and where glitchy textures coexist alongside organic elements as well as the occasional obscure film sample.
The opposites frequently collide in the most beautiful manner, and despite the abundance of influences at work, the album flows seamlessy, delivering a mature and coherent artistic vision.
Enjoy the ride, and come back craving for more.

21 tracks for 2021. For the second year in a row, Mukambo and NYP Records team up to prove the global afrobeat scene is more alive than ever! 21 bands from the four corners of the earth, bringing their own blend of afrobeat to pay tribute to the Black President Fela Kuti and maestro drummer Tony Allen.
From Nigerian artists in the diaspora like Femi Koya (South Africa), Dele Sosimi (UK), or Okwei Odili (Brazil) to bands really creating their own sound like the Japanese afrobeat rockers Stepak-Takraw or Raul Monsalve y los Forajidos (Venezuela/UK),
‘Mukambo presents Global Afrobeat Movement Volume 2’ proves that #AfrobeatNoGoDie !
Since Fela passed away, France has been one of the main afrobeat producers. Emil Abossolo Mbo, Jumbo System and Break Ya Bones Afrobeat Orchestra make sure #felaliveson in France while this compilation also desires to pay tribute to Lee ‘Scratch’ Perry through a dub mix of a track by The Anthronauts from Switzerland. Eastern Europe is slowly showing up on the Global Afrobeat Map and with The Mabon Dawud Republic from Hungary that process is accelerating. Germany also tries to get its share of the pie with Muito Kaballa Power Ensemble from Cologne and Renegades of Jazz remixing a track by Haitch & Rhabdomantic Orchestra.
Latin America really discovered afrobeat the past few years, this compilation highlights Luka Afrobeat Orquesta and Afro Iná from Argentina, He K Tombe from Mexico and Tabó Afrobeat from Uruguay. Àbáse from Hungary smoothly bridges the gap between the Nigerian and Brazilian yoruba cultures.
The compilation finished strong with a few remixes of original Fela Kuti tracks by Makala (Spain), smallFall & AmazeMe Breaks (Greece) and a maloya dedication to Fela by Lindigo (Reunion Island).

Ive been making music since i was 12 years old. but ive been in the music industry for about 4 years now and almost the entire time I’ve been surrounded by people who never had my best interest at heart. I live and die by the quality of my work, not the hype. And the minute anyone does anything to impede on that. You are dead to me. and that’s how it will stay. I had a contract to fulfill and I used a lot of things I was gonna save for the album just to be out of this shit. but it’s over now. this is my last release under a label. From this day on Im free as hell, more free than i already was something I haven’t felt in a long time. I don’t make music for dickriders, I don’t make music for casuals, theres plenty of wanna be ass niggas to fill that void for u, if u just need some bullshit to put on in the background, while u do dishes or whatever. but I’m just not here for that. me and my fans, we like detail. so if your not actually good at what u do. we don’t care. i understand that in this day and age a black man being great at what he does consistently is just not enough for some.
My goals are different my body is different my mind is different, where I came from is different. We’re not aiming at the same thing. I am a true outcast and that’s who I want to draw in. if u feel out of place, in every place. Im here for u. because that exactly how i have always felt. i’m just happy i have people to feel that with now.
my time in the music industry is over because I refuse to be disrespected by people who aren’t respectably in the first place. the only ones I care about now and forever are you my fans, I love u. and for u will always be here. This is the true LP! & i hope u all enjoy
Nerdcore Dub versions from ‘The Secret of Monkey Island I & II’ adventure game soundtracks (1990/91), the forgotten Voodoo-Reggae classics from the floppy disc age.
The original game soundtracks by Michael Z. Land, in all their uncanny 16bit-Soundblaster FM-synth glory, were a massive influence for Jahtari (weird computer game reggae!) – but could those soothing and somewhat wimpy tracks be translated into a Heavyweight Dub context, something that might work on a sound system?
Well, here are our attempts from around 2005/06: Meanwhile Deep Below the Island. Sixteen haunting tracks optimized for drinking grog by Gamle Harlev Orchestra & Bo Marley, John Frum, Volfoniq and disrupt. Finished cuts, various dubs and plain demos, raised from the Undead, just for the torment of your ears!
Available as FREE download on Bandcamp – and as limited tape run with alternate ‘Head of the Navigator’ cover!

Back on the quest to prove generative art can surpass human expectations, the 88756 project delivers an EP consisting of two “replicates”.
REPLICATE I is a growl infused, breakdance inspired dive into the realm of Electro / Breaks, whereas REPLICATE II builds on the same elements whilst adding a thumping 4×4 techno groove. It appears this mixed genre narrative is here to stay; observers note it enjoys the challenge.
Tying in with the AI meets creativity theme, accompanying these tracks are two pieces of generative video art: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FQpg9M5CdZo&list=PLgX9ml0RkfE-TTRPOV9CNNJo6kXJ68Os2

Following his eclectic opus ‘A Space For Your Dreams’ (released earlier this year on Vulpiano), Richey Hackett continues on his parallel path as an electronic composer with ‘The Nightmarist’. Richey takes ideas and delves into them, skillfully weaving atmospheres throughout his kaleidoscopic chords: bitcrushed echoes, fizzing electrical signals, distorted percussion, and ambiguous vocal samples.
Themes pervade: of digital consciousness as a spirit that haunts, disturbs, and blesses our synaptic essence, of a parallel plain that melds with an ancient and bone-deep wilderness expressed in our occult – a sort of ‘Life In The Bush of Ghosts’.
This is not to pigeonhole it as merely a dark-cyberpunk-ambient album; there is too much sweetness and pathos. The tones deployed are often sweeping and celestial, with everything from a subliminally disquieting music box waltz to anxious techno; and at various times recalling Vangelis, Burial, and Trent Reznor’s solo work. Yet another display of range and sophistication from Richey Hackett.
Words From The Artist:
“I really enjoyed the challenge of trying my hand at something new with You Are Nothing But Light. So making a second collection of dark ambient music felt only natural and this time I’ve tried to make the pieces even more expressive and cinematic.
I’ve always enjoyed ambient music and how much freedom it gives the listener; I may have composed a track with certain images and emotions in mind, but without lyrics to define those things you leave it much more open to interpretation. And I really like the idea of the listener being able to create their own scenes in their minds using your music as the soundtrack.”
A man forever alters his life by purposely hitting a pedestrian with his car, spiraling out of control with a warping definition of vengeance.
Bludgeon is a tale of descent, delusion, viscera, and vulnerability.

Member of the band Blue Haired Girl, which supported him in the recording of this first solo effort touched by a similar spirit of musical nomadism, Hideor Tild started “Home Directory”, published by IRM Netlabel and Les Disques Normal, with songs composed on his acoustic guitar.
From that breadcrumb’s thread and without losing any of this initial spontaneity, the French musician has woven unique and varied atmospheres, mixing pastoral ballads and electrified cavalcades, western folk elements and instruments from Africa and Asia (from Mali to Uzbekistan), intoxicating strings and percussions of all kinds, hints of electronic music and unusual sounds ranging from vocoder to drum machines through field recordings and mystical chants coming from multiple geographical origins : voices from Mexico to Japan, Touvain and Inuit songs, etc.
As a result, the mostly instrumental “Home Directory” is an album filled with spirituality that invites you to travel far but also to make your own inner journey, summoning previous adventurers of acoustic guitars such as Mice Parade, Gustavo Santaolalla, Ry Cooder or Tunng’s early records.
