This is late and I'm not even sorry. This one goes out to rapdotcom and Tatti Persson.

If, Bwana - Freudian Slip
The best title/artwork combo I've seen lately/ever. Uncovered 1980s non-commercial noise presented as educational art.
PS072 - ((usband Materia)) - A Caree-riented Gentleman
It me. Seriously though, I found this when working on Naptunes and didn't get a chance to engage fully/buy/include, but here it is. Lovely stuff. People talk about an ambient revival but you know BC has been about that life since before day one.
Lone on Bandcamp
Lone's got a new old album out — his 2008 release Lemurian has been remastered and rereleased with new artwork, and it's on pink vinyl. More importantly for us though, is the fact that he's put everything since 2011's Echolocations on Bandcamp. 'Coreshine Voodoo'!
Samčo, brat dážďoviek - The Odpad (200-011)
Happened upon this by accident. It's a decade's worth of lo-fi bedroom* recordings by Slovak artist Samuello Szabo, aka Samčo, brat dážďoviek, which seems to (Google) translate as Males, brother earthworms. It's a weird collection of songs and cut-up vignettes, and while the content is utterly beyond me it sounds like a riot.
MOSHImix49 - sub.made
Sumptuous dub techno vibes. Oppressively hot, icily crisp.
Księżyc - A Ile Ma Lat?
Polish nightmare music. Whether that's a good thing or a bad thing depends entirely on your disposition. Do you like dark choral music over sinister harpsichord?
anna bolena - Jazz Madrigali for Suite Madrigal by Anna Assenza/Cuba_2006_
Not sure what's going on here to be fully honest, but it's a riot. Cut-up horns and guitar licks over looping drum-machine kicks.
Ghost Harmonic - Codex
Gorgeous modern classical here, or is it ambient, or what, it doesn't matter. It's gorgeous, filled with yearning. Ghost Harmonic are a trio: violinist Diana Yukawa, electronic artist John Foxx and Benge. The album moves between expansive flights of strings and darker, more impenetrable layers of fuzzy murk. All good.
Ondness - Todo Perish (demo life)
This is an ace tracl that seems to be a demo from Ondness. It's clanky and echoey and full of mild terror, much like the the 18th-Century painting that accompanies it.
KABLAM - Priéremix
Janus aesthetic breathy sound booming bass sparse persuasion and rolling kicks. You know what time it is.

If you haven't listened to Naptunes yet I'm taking it as a personal affront. <3
All the best,
