The songs on this album were originally composed for and performed live at Angie’s Sunday Service in Brooklyn, New York on July 3, 10, 17, 24, and 31, 2022.
Julian’s slow and cinematic debut EP eases the senses while taking you back to a time when things were easier and the world was a cozy and loving place.
The EP contains a lot of laid back tunes with minimal drumming, accompanied by a wide range of enviromental foley sounds, which even further give the impression of travelling through the memories of things that once were.
Alltogether a great EP for either listening or for use under video productions.
Julian Winter’s latest 5 track EP “Home” is a combination of autobiographical tracks, describing his short journey through Europe in the fall of 2018. Each city is portrayed by a flavor of its ambient sounds combined with Julian’s musical interpretation of the untangleable combination of a city’s impression and his own mind state at the given time.
Each track manages to translate a strong emotional impression, ranging from nostalgic up to a dramatic sense of being overcome by one’s own existence. This wild diversity of feelings enables “Home” to grab your attention, and pull you into the composer’s brain in order to get a clear view from his perspective, to take you along on his journey.
On a musical level, the depiction is realized by laid back guitar melodies and piano parts, which are accompanied by Julians trademark rhythmic variations using real percussion instruments. His use of post production and editing manages to give “Home” an extremely organic and up to date feel, thus making it qualify as a worthy successor to all of his previous work.
All tracks written, performed and produced by Julian Winter, except for “Paris”, which was written by a female member of Anonymous.

I can imagine what a lazy Artificial Intelligence or a crazy netlabel runner would say to explain how this album really brought the language of dreams or nightmares to the ears like if these both directors did it :
Every listener is going to get a different thing. That’s the thing about music. Illbient is like a car, a vehicle that allows you to go within. It’s a mental technique. You don’t need a special place to meditate. You can transcend anywhere in the world. The unified field is here, and there, and everywhere. We will not develop the transcendental way the nihilist spirit can upleavel oneself to certain zen spirit. Of course it won’t make disappear the civilians bodies massacred by bombs, but sometime like these days the world is so dark that you need this kind of dark meditation to heal your soul… The current from beyond dictate everything, you have to be true to that or you’re dead.
Life is a short game. If you want to be bisexual, pansexual, do it. Every single life is about construction and destruction. We are happy persons. When happy persons make dark music, it becomes funny. The truth is that… if you put any idea out there that’s kind of flashy, you have many, many people that are going to be copying it. This happens whether you do movies, paintings or music. Death is not evil. Death can be good news. It all depends. Some people come to this world and live in hell so birth is not always positive. Death can sometimes be positive.
Dedicated to those forced to commit unassisted suicides.
Culture Horn Sound System return with a brand-new EP entitled Jah Creator. For this release, the heavyweight sound system from the town of Kremenki in the Kaluga region in Russia, teams up with the mighty Sammy Gold to deliver a fresh vibe!
Sammy Gold has been in the scene since the late 70s, when he started as a toaster and later in the 80s as a singer. Getting his influence from artists like Dennis Brown, Jacob Miller and Rod Taylor, he worked with many producers like Rus Muffet, Ras Kuntus and High Elements releasing music on Roots Injection, Cubiculo Records and many other labels.
Jah Creator is offered for free download from Bandcamp. As it usual in most of the releases of Culture Horn, the first composition is in a dubplate style (based on classic roots tune Higher Field Marshall by Peter Broggs). The second composition is the main track. Each track includes the obligatory dub version. The compositions were recorded back in 2016 and since then they have been played on various dances and streamed in radio broadcasts.
The EP is dedicated to Jah and his deeds. Peace and love to all.
“Flayte Neo Sur” summarizes the methodologies of 10 years of sound composition for performing arts by the composer Jayson Hernández (1992). The main inspiration for this work is the collaboration with five electroacoustic composers: Valentina Aguilera, Ariel Fernández, Matias Alarcón, Antonia Valladares and José Miguel Candela, who, in a featuring capacity, contribute to the composition of the album.
The album comprises 5 pieces, each of which is infused with elements inspired by Granja Sur, multifocality, and the re-signification of a territory that emerged post-dictatorship in Chile, located in the southern outskirts of the capital. Each piece is associated with an aphorism proposed by the composer. The invitation was to improvise in an electroacoustic key and then compose based on this experience, induced through a somatic practice that allowed a connection with the archives and repertoires of the geography.
Inspired by observation and recording, the album seeks to challenge the concept of the periphery from a political perspective. Its primary influences are local artists from the southern area of the capital, such as muralist Oficio Erico and the UFO Group, poet Juan Carreño and the Vlop Cinema Collective. The album also reflects on aesthetic experiences in peripheral territories, particularly in Granja Sur and its surroundings, where the composer gathers local testimonies and symbols as elements that shape the soundscapes of the compositions.

sevensy (aka Austin Brooks) creates music that directly facilitates imaginal sojourns, wherein the message is the sound itself. sevensy mixes electronic and natural sounds with processed guitars and acoustic instruments and has released his music with Mahorka from the time of the label’s inception.
His musical themes ‘unfold into an unusual landscape’ so that it is often impossible to tell where one ends and another begins.
“Form emerges, as fragile as a snowdrop’s blossom, as solid as a mountain, then recedes and is transformed. Awareness witnesses the interplay of all things. “Reckoning (creation)” aims to musically depict this metamorphosis. Acoustic or treated electric guitar forms the basis of every piece, though this may not be evident upon first listening. Layers of synthesisers and bass are interwoven with fragments of melodies that coalesce and dissolve.”

Pass through to an unknown domain, and witness an intangible procession of intelligence – and the lack thereof. A known unknown, contrasted with its contrapositive, yields a self-similar absence of informative variation. Yet such leaps are still insightful, logically winnowing and ultimately implying an uncertain something about the state of things.
Featuring unaccompanied improvised clarinet with reverb.
Euphoria echoes of unpredictory sensory inputs.
Euphoria echoes of self-justifying circulation of intensities.
Euphoria echoes of the girl that won’t return your love but is totally worth it.
Euphoria echoes of the desert called our culture.
Euphoria echoes of sleeping cat shadow,
of meaning making machines,
of the cognitive dissidents,
of feast that eats itself.
Euphoria echoes of tikkun olam.
Euphoria echoes of veiling their vices in virtuous words.
Euphoria echoes of male desire for salvation through gadgets.
Euphoria echoes of her who was here long before the apes started dreaming of gods.
Euphoria echoes of inotai, adonai, you and i….
Este es un disco que debe ser explorado en detalle, una experiencia auditiva que encapsula la esencia de la experimentación y la evolución constante que define el Techno en su forma más pura. No te pierdas esta joya sonora que emana de las profundidades de la vanguardia electrónica.

What excitement when two artists that we have published separately with different projects join forces to release a first album together… and even more so when it sounds like an achievement. This is indeed the case of Break On Beacons, where we find at the beats Valgidrà from Rennes and at the synths Innocent But Guilty from Bordeaux (half of Wintermute, among others : indierockmag.bandcamp.com/album/rubber ), two French electronic musicians whose collaboration finds its origin in IBG’s remix and collective projects, in which Valgidrà took part several times. The later has been following the work of IBG for a while, finding common ground in his trip-hop/abstract fiber, while Foolish Records’ founder discovered the music of his new playmate through IRM Netlabel, particularly with the album “Watched Watchers” (indierockmag.bandcamp.com/album/watched-watchers) and the EP “Daily Grinders” recorded with Konejo (indierockmag.bandcamp.com/album/daily-grinders-ep), both released in 2021. From the start, when listening to this joint project whose name evokes the exploration of unmarked paths, the idea of getting off the beaten track and especially the limits that we unconsciously have imposed ourselves, we feel both in familiar territory and at the same time heading towards the unknown in a more cosmic way than expected from the two. We recognize the deep, dark and ethereal textures with subtle melodic patterns of IBG – whose sound seems to have evolved this last year from heavy and radical drone (cf. his brilliant Anteraks project along with Uburgründ from Romania) towards something more aerial, between electronica and trip-hop, and also Valgidrà’s signature beats at the crossroads of abstract groove and dry IDM as well as his sense of rhythmic vocal samples, on the title track for example. And yet, “An uninterrupted flow of images, shapes and colors…” constantly gives the sensation of tending towards unexplored horizons, somewhere between outer space and inner landscapes, an album which casts off towards an “elsewhere” made up of both sonic adventures and introspection, epic times and suspended moments, dreams and disillusionment. In a word : a gem !

Sinister, dark ambient noise walling from dry places inhabited by banished demons. Distant winds and demonic howlings meet ever-fluctuating noise textures.
