Late to the party but undoubtedly one of the LPs of 2018 is the Numero Group sub-label Cabinet of Curiosities' soul saturated Escape from Synth City compilation of obscure, lo-fi, emotion rich, wobbly, 80's grooving electronic visions of the future. Dravier - Spirit Channels (Not Not Fun)
If Krautrock had been invented by a bunch of crystal waving, tropically located, Ashram encamped hippies it might be called Coconutrock & sound more like this sprawling new age of New Age, rhythmically propelled, tape hissing, nature sampling, ambient odyssey by JUNGLE GYM RECORDS' driving force Dravier for Not Not Fun Records. MJ Lallo - Take Me With You (Seance Centre)
Beautiful, experimental, abstract soul explorations of the subconscious Innerverse powered only by a drum machine, synth, Yamaha SPX90 effects unit & a remarkable set of versatile, cosmically inclined, vocal chords from MJ Lallo for Séance Centre. Wanderwelle - Gathering of the Ancient Spirits (Silent Season)
Troubled by modern living & its money gods & armed only with an ambient agenda & a recording studio, Wanderwelle go in search of ancient lore, unspoilt lands & simpler animistic beliefs with this percussive, electronic, Pachamama sampling, musical incantation for Silent Season Caleb R.K. Williams - Roadtrip Work Songs (Eagle Stone)

Ot to, not to - Goshen (Other People)
Alerted by the prospect of new material in 2019 from ot to, not to can I suggest you put a weird spectral soul wobble into your Saturday with the pretty experimental but very listenable sounds of their previous LP on Other People Maylee - Mutual Attraction (Bandcamp)
Put some old fashioned lovers soul into your weekend as Maylee Todd comes through with two great slices of 00's polished 80's soul vibes to great effect on this Bandcamp exclusive. Daniel Caleb - Semblance
Enter the machine generated soundtrack of a computer game & feel strangely alive as Daniel Caleb adds percussion, atmosphere, emotional depth & throws in a ticket to an electronic sci-fi future which hints at humanity's building blocks for good measure Santpoort - Cloudstreet
More sunshine soaked acoustic electronica today as Santpoort (Julien Mier ) reminisces about southern hemisphere island life and provides an all too short soulful beat tape of all too short melodic beats/travel vignettes. Makes me feel all warm inside. ATLAS.exe - Tropical Midi Selections (New World)
Hear the tropical waves lapping around your desk, feel sunny chillwave vibes warming your pale winter skin & bask in some schmaltzy, vapourwave friendly, Kenny G sax for good measure from New Zealands's ATLAS.exe for New World Records. Steve Spacek - Natural Sci-Fi (eglo)
One day all soul music will sound like this. Check out the body contorting future beats, weighty but warm bass and distinctive voice of Steve Spacek on his new album for the ever interesting Eglo records. Sébastien Wright - Soft Geometry
Serenity through ambient music & perfect Sunday listening as the minimal keys, politely intruding field recordings & fragile gently rippling drones courtesy of Sebastién Wright help suspend reality & make the world a better place A quick RSS feed friendly round up of this weeks daily recommendations if you don't want to follow our social media every day. Sosena Gere Eyesus (Little Axe)
Ear & mind opening recordings from Sosena Gebre Eyesus playing the otherworldly begena or harp of David whilst gently singing Ethiopian orthodox hymns for Little Axe. Enchanting & mesmerising traditional East African music. Ben Penn - Very Important EP (Safe Trip)
Anchored with a jazz funk vibe but reaching for the techno future stars, get your Friday brain wobble on & warm up for the weekend with the electronic fusion vibes of Ben Penn on Young Marco's aptly named Safe Trip label. Smalltown Supersound 25: The Movement of the Free Spirit by Prins Thomas (Smalltown Supersound)
A DJ mix is like cooking, you need great source material & after 25 years Smalltown Supersound has some of the best ingredients in the game. Luckily Prins Thomas is the chef & he's cooked up the best DJ mix of 2018 over 220 minutes & 80 tracks. Michelin stars all round & a BIG happy 25th birthday to the label. Lucky Brown & The S.G.'s - Mesquite Suite (Tramp Records)
Most modern funk is a pale imitation but Washington's LUCKY BROWN BAND is carving out out his own 21st century fresh funk fusion. Check out his all inclusive, barrio rather than barrier, soul stirring LP on the always excellent Tramp Rec. Anelis Assumpcao - Taurina (Scubidu Music)
Another stunning avant pop LP out of Brazil from Anelis Assumpção for Scubidu Music. Leftfield percussion, oddball arrangements, sweet vocals with attitude, elements of dub, MPB, jazz, electronica & Brazil's Afro heritage expertly fused into one big fusion Feijoada. Same Waves - Algorithm of Desire (Flau)
Serene yet anchored by lyrical weight the new LP by Same Waves for Japan's flau is an intriguing, stylistically fluctuating, electronic acoustic fusion with surreal jazz, Americana & modern compositional cameos from crack Chicago musicians popping up in its vocal pop dreaminess.
