Welcome to our weekly RSS feed friendly round up of the last seven day's music recommendations.

I'm not sure why there aren't more ambient poetry fusion projects when they sound as good as the captivating oratory of Swedish mysticical poet Gunnar Ekelöf gliding above Hymnambulae's superbly crafted, melancholic Scandi-noir soundscapes for Hypnagoga Press.

Great to see Meernaa building on last years excellent EP and now inhabiting their own unique cosmic synth supported, occasionally post rock assisted, blue eyed soul cloud with their excellent new LP for Native Cat Recordings

A good old fashioned Rock 'n' Roll opener gives way to all sorts of blues rooted strains of Americana on the refreshingly unpolished, honest, familiar yet fresh Ida Mae LP. Not a bad tune on the album & I bet the live show kicks arse.

Summer has just started with LA's Mattson 2 firing the starting pistol with their great new LP of microdosed, easy & breezy, Balearic friendly, smooth jazz meets dreamy solar powered Yacht rock on Company Records. Lovely stuff start to finish.

It's amazing what sounds one man & a strange guitar can make. Check out Seabuckthorn as he weaves his bowed resonator guitar into a subtle electro acoustic frame & evolves an experimental orchestral soundtrack to earth's primordial soup for Eilean Rec.

Skip into the week with the languid, pleasingly lo-fi, Balearic courting, somewhat melancholic yet sluggishly optimistic, electro pop sounds of Amsterdam's Meetstysteem for Nous'klaer Audio

Gracefully & respectfully "healing sound propagandist", 扎克 has sampled & looped the sounds of several orchestras' quieter passages then deftly adorned them with gentle drones & the faintest of field recordings to wonderfully soothing, minimal, neoclassical & ambient effect for Past Inside the Present. 100% of proceeds will go to help provide student scholarships.

Welcome to our weekly RSS feed friendly round up of the last seven day's music recommendations.

House band for the consistently excellent Philophon label, The Band of Enlightenment, Reason & Love (what a name!), drop two deadly live reggae versions of label classics in a psychedelic Afro Jazz style. On repeat - possibly forever.

As much as I love dub techno, most of it is stuck in a Basic Channel/Rhythm & Sound aping infinity loop so it's great to see Earthen Sea's singular, minimally inspired, rhythmically varied, beauty with bass weight ambient twist on the genre for the every wonderful Kranky label.

Dialling back the funk but turning the soul & atmosphere up to 11 with an 80's machine pop sheen, check out the stripped back, chilled out, perfectly balanced, soulful synth grooves of Mandroid. One for all you heart shaped bed owning playboys and playgirls out there.

Rajas is the Sanskrit word for an inner energy compelling us toward action, creation & change. It's also an apt name for Rajna Swaminathan's multi-cultural ensemble and their evocative, East meets West, Indian classical, jazz fusion. Big shout out to Biophilia Records & their forward thinking approach to plastic free music.

Intimately recorded, the ritual percussion & Sessa's stand up bass form the bedrock for this excellent tropicalia nodding Samba rooted LP of laid back Brazilian folk for Boiled Records.

Detach the space pod, make sure your purple tooth speaker is fully charged, disengage from reality & orbit around the week ahead instead with the warm, lazy & hazy, monoamine neurotransmitter promoting, electronic sounds of Dreems for Multi Culti.

Not content with being home for the excellent D E E P L E A R N I N G releases Salmon Universe has just swam up the compilation river & spawned this impeccably curated contemporary collection of multifarious ambient electronica. Sunday suitable & well recommended.

Welcome to our weekly RSS feed friendly round up of the last seven day's music recommendations.

If you need some lazy, hazy vibes today check out the West Coast originating, opiate optimized, lysergic laced, guitar injected, plugged in and spaced out lethargicana of Alphabets for Symbol Group Records. Should do the job nicely.

To get a lot of the LP inspiration from a big bad city like LA & still produce music this positive I'm guessing Tristan de Liège is a glass half full guy. Check out his soulful, Eastern veined, spiritual nodding nu-jazz fusion. It's a lovely listen.

It's rare to hear percussion standing alone, it's subtlety often lost in a group but after his recent amazing Areni Agbabian collaboration I checked out Nicolas Stocker's solo work on Ronin Rhythm Records & this LP perfectly highlights his percussive prowess, ability to create soft textures & immersive soundscapes as well as propel.

Seemingly on a one woman mission to bring about world peace through musical endeavour, ann annie has produced another Arcadian gem, sitting at the intersection of the new age of New Age, ambient and the hippie dream. Hear the love.

Largely minimal, sometimes not, ambient leaning, classically inclined, indie-folk, electronic fusion from Josephine Wiggs as she slightly sombrely pairs her multi-instrumental talents with those of Jon Mattock of Spacemen 3 to reluctantly beautiful, introspection encouraging effect for The Sound of Sinners

Drift into the week with the laid back cinematic jazz & electro acoustic, ambient choral fusion of hoera. as they record Lithuanian choir, Jauna Muzika 2019 & respectfully reduce them to a sampled digital audio avatar to accompany their own minimal, live music endeavours for Belgium's granvat.

Armenian singer Areni Agbabian's native folk referencing, crystal clear voice floats above her minimal piano lines and Nicolas Stocker's sparse textured rather than propulsive, global percussion for ECM Records. A lovely, less is most definitely more, Sunday listen.

Welcome to the latest radio show for the excellent Music For Dreams radio station. Kicking off with rare Japanese jazz before heading into future psych-folk, sublime modern vocal jazz before going all global from LIthuania to Brazil via Turkey before heading into some of the best modern Latin fusion tunes around. Things then took a turn for the mellower before a fine percussive, (nu) jazzy, slow house end to proceedings.

Welcome to our weekly RSS feed friendly round up of this week's daily music recommendations, just in case you are reducing screen time or don't want to ride the dictatorial algorithmic rollercoasters on social media.

More healing frequencies and cosmic realm probing from Flower Room as they release the meditative, East & West uniting, Kosmische & subtly dub caressed drones & improvised spiritual explorations of ML Wah into a world searching & desperately in need of meaning.

Have a hazy weekend with this sonic spirit guide to your inner self and hitherto unchartered cosmic realms as Deep Nalstrom fuses all manner of seemingly ayahuasca inspired psychedelic tribal tropery into a mellow, mind expanding, musical meander for the excellent Natural Selections.

Nudging classical music into more accessible & 21st century relevant forms, Nottingham's one man orchestra Thomas William Hill, has crafted a wonderfully moving, global instrument uniting, viola da gamba looped & rooted, modern compositional electronic fusion of the highest order for Village Green Recordings

I love it when an LP comes along & singlehandedly reignites my interest in a genre that had slipped down my listening priorities. Well Ohio's Mourning [A] BLKstar have just brought out my inner soul boy by capturing the pain, power, heart & social messages of 60's & 70's soul music & the blues that came before it & reshaping it for our new troubled times and beyond via Don Giovanni Records. Wow.

An epic slice of slowly building, immersive, deep space ambient from M. Geddes Gengras for Hausu Mountain. Starting off in easy orbit the engines slowly engage layer upon layer of free noise, electronic interference & percussive sounds that slowly build to a dramatic finale before a final prolactin aided sonic embrace induces a calm & contended sleep.

Sooth the Monday blues as Steve Moore masterfully fuses new age of New Age vibes with the beguiling voice of Tunisia's Emel Mathlouthi, the enchanting harp of Mary Lattimore and his own blend of vintage synthesized cinematic serenity for Temporary Residence.

Really lovely Sunday listening as Hipnotic Earth, overlays his soothing tones & daydreamy drones with the morning animal sounds of his orchard studio location & the gentlest of instrument sounds to create this wonderful nature kissed electro acoustic ambient LP for Whitelabrecs
