KALUPTO - Head Down (Resolution) [Alt-Pop]

Your Brother’s Keeper & Gary Bartz - Where Rivers Meet (Brownswood) [Jazz]

Lacy Katherine Strong - Uncommon Objects (Self Release) [Electronic Music]

NESS NOST - caffeinenicotinenosleepdopamine (Self Release) [Alt-Pop]
"The track then loses the gritty edge and nihilistic chant for a piano-house meets dreamy-contemplative-dance-pop second half. Perhaps there's more to think about than where your next cigarette and lost night are coming from"

Cisser Mæhl - En øvelse (Scilla) [Folktronica]
" The mic is close and the recording intimate, initially accompanied by some acoustic guitar in classic folky singer-songwriter style, but it's not long before an electronic breeze blows in from the north,"

Tom Vedvik - Ride to Shanti (Self Release) [Ambient]
The machines are soon joined by some sparse, gentle piano caresses that ride the beautifully crafted ambient atmospherics - the twinkling keys the perfect foil for the grainier ambience.

Mali Obomsawin - Triage (Out of Your Head) [Jazz]

liminal elysium - ginseng (Self Release) [Ambient]

Starflake feat. Topaz - Cumbia 4 Molly (Self Release) [Nu-Jazz]
"The track then spirals in to sax-infused (big up Topaz), psychedelic synth-swirling mayhem which reminds me a bit to Red Snapper in their younger, hungrier prime."

Mo Kolours & The Co-Operators - Fruits of the Diaspora (Herbnest) [Reggae]
"celebrating the proud, timeless, resistance music that it spawned. History lesson complete and reparations called for, the vibe then goes distinctly seventies Jamaica"
