Regosphere is Andrew Quitter, a really productive man from Portland, Oregon. He does harsh noise music with “Suburbia Melting” since 1998, is running the DumpsterScore Home Recordings label, and between all this, he finds time for his new project Regosphere with synth miniatures, dark ambient elements, field recordings and lo-fi noises.
The three pieces on “The Coast By Train” have a duration from 8 to 15 minutes. The ride starts with “In Darkened Hills”, an ambient drone piece with oscilating synthesiser tones, tiny glitches and a modulating dark soundscape in the background. “The Ghost Were Hung By Wire” is a haunted and spooky piece, very athmospheric and very fragile. The last track “Black Keys” is a 15 minute melodic journey with field recording parts, synth patterns and a beautiful melody, crawling into your ear.

Love it or hate it! The finest selection of polish music now on one album. As usual in case of “The best of…” compilations everyone can find something to suit his or her taste. What we have here is 20 top polish hits performed by 20 artists. They prefer to stay anonymous to keep you focused on these great tracks that are presented in modern versions to reveal their hidden beauty. They sometimes differ a lot from original versions what for many conservative listeners may come as a shock but it’s still an essential collection for every music lover.
Now a little bit more serious… 20 anonymous polish artist smashes 20 polish top hits transforming pop s**t into modern avantgarde music. The idea of plunderphonics is here expanded from just messing with bits and pieces of original tracks to creating some good music from unpleasant pop sounds. So except mashups you get some breakcore, ambient, digital hardcore, noise and many other unclassified forms. Your mom won’t like it.
“(…) There hasn’t been much lately in electronic music that has really made me stand at attention until this release peaked my interest in a huge way.
The entire album plays on a downbeat mood. I feel like much more time and effort was spent on artistic value within the album rather than trying to make an album that people want to dance to. Thus, a very intelligent album was created in “The Best of Polish Smooth Jazz… Ever!” I found myself becoming extremely relaxed while listening to the tracks and didn’t feel overwhelmed with a multitude of sampling complexity. Though I’m sure much of what they’ve done is complex, it never feels like you need to rack your brain for answers. Most of the songs start off vamping on a single note or interval that resonates throughout the entire song while subtle melodies play in the background accompanied by clever drum fills.
The complexity of the album is in what is sampled rather than the album’s actual sound. Recycling Records actually deconstructs songs such as a pop-rock ballad and from those deconstructed files, he creates the ambient sounds that you hear on the record. The mood of the album is also extremely unique to any electronic album I’ve ever given my attention to. Though other artists such as Bonobo or Amon Tobin have a lot of slow-paced songs of their own, especially the former of the two, neither of them pay as much attention to the ambient noise like Recycling Records does.
If you’re into electronic music, “The Best of Polish Smooth Jazz… Ever!” is definitely a must-have in your music collection. It would even be interesting for a pop-rock fan to get their hands on to try and figure out what songs have been deconstructed. Recycling Records truly has done something entirely unique with “The Best of Polish Smooth Jazz… Ever!” and for once the listeners are able to feel the difference rather than having to listen intently for it.(…)”

Latest addition to This Side Music’s roster, irishman Mick Chillage, an avid music lover for decades and long-time contributor to the underground electronic scene in his homelands, beatifully crafts his inspiration and influences to create three fresh sounding analog tracks which retain their old-school character while they keep an open eye to the future.
Eye on the City sets off electro-style with its acidic bassline and breakbeat rhythm paving the way for the melody and a huge bass synth to kick in. Keep in mind that this melody may stick in your head for a while! Next up, Project Echo sounds exactly like one should expect; filled with echoing synths and a so-deep bassline along a filtered detroit rhythm section that invite you to join their dubby soundspace. The last track on the EP, Altitude, promises to get you as high as you let yourself; and it couldn’t miss with a soft & nice melody like this.
All tracks w+p by Mick Chillage, 2008, Dublin, Ireland.
Mastered by Dimitri Barnias 2008, Crete, Greece.

Think we’ve been lost in the jungle?
Not quite… the Mixomat story continues as early spring sees the release of Serendipity’s “Winter” here at Mixomat Recordings.
A sonic memory of a cold season, painted in deep techy colours, with a strong hint of classical and ambient.
And those strings and pianos will make you feel warmer in any season…
Serendipity is based in Nottingham, UK and apart from producing deep house, ambient and classical, she plays classical piano, has been djing at different venues and works as music tech teacher.
Seeing these tracks as her first steps into the stage light, we are anticipating what is to come.

From the website of 1bit wonder: “_1bit #032 by Latex Distortion and Gary West will be our last release. Too many other projects have been consuming our time lately, so instead of doing things half-heartedly we decided to quit when it’s best. Thanks for three wonderful years full of love and great music! Our site will remain active for a while and may still serve you as an archive.”
Thank you 1bit wonder for the beautiful releases! Netwaves will cast an interview with the founders, probably in nws063. Submitted by embe on SatFor our final release, Latex Distortion team up with singer/songwriter Gary West to deliver one of the most surprising packages of our whole catalogue: “Killed by a Fairy” is a diverse mixture of broken beat electronica, powering electronic rock and catchy guitar songs - a dauntless appeal for a world without musical boundaries.

Enjoy
People in portugal say that “cheese gives you a bad memory!” Well, what can I do? I love cheese but my love came with a price: all I have now is indeed a very bad memory. So bad that I even forgot what the hell I was doing when recording my songs. And so bad that I forgot that I was supposed to write here something about the release and not about me!
This time I’m offering some random songs, travelling between ambient and dub techno influenced tunes.
Well, nevermind. Enjoy it, I promise that next time I will make a better one.

Repoman’s music is somewhat a landscape portrayed under musical forms. Dreamy keyboards mixed with field recordings and gentle beats embrace us in a calm mood that lasts throughout its 37 minutes. “C64 (Part 2)” could be easily featured in any of Tarantino’s recent movies, while the reggae rhythm of “Rooney” is wrapped in a vinyl sound that becomes part of the song itself.
The psychedelic keyboard melodies appear out of nowhere into the main themes, and the beats flow naturally, with no sudden changes or wild variations. “Breathe Deep (Outro)” sounds as if it was recorded in a forest, with arrangements caught directly from the leaves of the tallest trees.
The highlights here are the opening tracks, “Copper’s Knock” and “Hell’s Teeth”, the first being guided by an hypnotic melody and a relaxing beat, the second being a mix of some 70’s psychedelic rock atmospheres with minimalist beats and repeated bass lines.
Repoman’s work is definitely interesting, soothing and relaxed, as if the music went directly from the composer’s heart to its original form.
Overall, it’s a good album, and you won’t feel like you’ve wasted your time here, for it is sure to ease your mind and keep you focused.
