Dank. I like that word. Maybe even more than spoopy. I feel the leading is off this week or something so if it reads funny below, I'm sorry!

Midwich - The Swift
As usual the latest release from Invisible City Records is great. It's a reissue of a CD that came out last year in a tiny press of 15 CDs on Altar of Waste, a single track crafted radio free midwich's Rob. Split in two and draped over two sides of cassette, in a slightly less limited run of 40, it's a lengthy passage of drone, a single tone shifted and turned across 65 minutes. 

desolate horizons - we are light, with love and purity
These bait Bandcamp pieces with dreamy titles and artwork are often rubbish, but I really love this one. Swooning passages of blissful ambience, but condensed to short lengths, well, until you reach the eight-minute closing track.

Talugung - Calcified Days
This is weird. Not unlike that Hannah Phillips collection last week, it's a collection of strange noises and sounds, musical, yet lacking in straightforward melody as such. Odd layers float above one another like nightmarish cuckoo clocks or droning animals. Originally released on tape in 2009, Talugung has shared it for free on his Bandcamp.

K15 - The Scarlet Tape
K15 has dropped a series of repeatedly brilliant releases, mainly in the vibrant house vein, but this is a superb tape of hip-hop beats and sketches.  

Leisureware - Aluminium Mix
It's rare anyone actually pitches stuff to me. No matter. This guy did, and his mix is a doozy. It's "a selection of dancing music for the most inhospitable conditions imaginable", and to that end there's gnarly electronics and spatial vibes. 80s sci-fi/horror scores, electronic journeys, crunching electro, that kind of thing. 

City 5/5/15 Mix
Citymusic33, who took over Bandcloud for a week while I was in Italy, put together a wonderful mix of dark electronic jams. Not "dancey" at all really, more one for the night bus home after a particularly bad night. There's an Actress track in there that for some reason I always think is Arpanet. Hmm. Maybe this time it'll stick? 

Perfume Advert x Yearning Kru
Who doesn't love 17-minute abstract expansions of sound? Perfume Advert, who has recently released on Where To Now? and Opal Tapes, dropped this set on his SC — it's a set of remixes of and by Yearning Kru, with the highlight being YK's live version of PA's 'Spectrophilliac', from the aforementioned Opal Tapes release. All three are ace though.

Juno Plus Podcast 112: 51717
I was playing the most recent Juno Plus podcast, by 51717, the other day when my wife arrived home, asked "what's that noise" and declared "that's not music". It's a dank affair, heavy electronics and industrial clank. 

ipek gorgun - pyrosis (stereo version)
Ipek Gorgun is a Turkish sound artist, a PhD candidate in sonic arts at istanbul technical university-center for advanced studies in music. RBMA brought her to Tokyo last year, and her sounds have found their way into sets by Logos and Mumdance of late. This piece is a swirling cascade of shimmering beauty that descends into abrasive noise. Deeply immersive.

MOSHImix46 - Fingers In The Noise
Speaking of immersive, I listened to this three times the other day. Two hours of the deepest of dub techno. Perfect working music.
