Session Victim / low key, low pressure
Review:
As a DJ and curator who thrives on the heartbeat of the dance floor, and as a blogger constantly tuned into the pulse of the music industry, I have witnessed a multitude of soundscapes that promise to transport the listener to another dimension. Today, I’m delving into an album that accomplishes just that, with an effortless grace that’s become rare in our hyper-digitized world. Session Victim’s fifth studio album, ‘Low Key, Low Pressure’, released under the evocative Night Time Stories label, is a blissful anathema to the pulsating rush of contemporary rhythms. [source]

Harper Trio / Passing By
Greek born with Egyptian roots, electric jazz harpist and composer Maria-Christina Harper is reinventing the sound of the harp in the jazz world. With her anarchic spirit and an interest in exploring what the harp can do, rather than exploring its traditional sounds, she presents her instrument in new and exciting ways. Combining her traditional music roots with free jazz she creates an irresistible, compelling sound cosmos. It’s where East meets West.
Maria-Christina has gathered two outstanding, highly acclaimed players to form The Harper Trio for whom she has specifically composed 7 original tracks. Featuring drummer’s-drummer Evan Jenkins and the dynamic saxophonist Josephine Davies (Instrumentalist of The Year, 2019 Parliamentary Jazz Awards), the trio release Passing By, a powerful debut recording of shimmering soundscapes and psychedelic sounds that flirt with the avant-garde creating an inventive slice of spiritual jazz.

Hidden Orchestra / To Dream Is To Forget
Since its inception, producer and composer Joe Acheson has carefully developed Hidden Orchestra from a simple initial project concept of ‘an imagined orchestra’ into something that has flourished into a widespan musical universe of its own, that is truly unlike anything else.
After multiple albums with respected independent label Tru Thoughts, continued support from the likes of The Guardian, BBC6Music, FIP, JazzFM, several awards for innovative soundtrack work intertwined with AI and consistent global touring of an energetic and intriguing live show featuring two duelling drummers, their reach and influence has swollen to make them one of the highest regarded names in independent music today and has even led to collaborations beyond the world of music, with The British Library, Kew Gardens and National Trust all enlisting Acheson for unique installation projects. Yet regardless of the current brief in front of him, the initial mission statement to ‘create electronic music with acoustic means’ remains.
Acheson achieves this task with aplomb, conjuring intricate yet expansive worlds of sound, built in collaboration with a select core of talented musicians, combined with Acheson’s bespoke samples, field recordings, and carefully honed composition and arrangement sensibilities. Detail and craftsmanship are at the core of everything he does, even musically directing a diverse array of instrumentalists to capture unique samples of both improvised and scored nature. This ingenious approach really sets his work apart from the crowd and allows Acheson’s artistic vision to come to life exactly as intended.
While new album ‘To Dream is to Forget’ certainly maintains this mission statement, it does also bring about a sea change for the project on a few fronts. Released via Acheson’s own newly formed Lone Figures imprint, the musical direction for the record involved a concerted effort to condense musical themes and ideas into more immediate arrangements, with less utilisation of field recordings than previously released material.
Predominantly sticking to this ethos has indeed meant an average track length reduction throughout, however there is still the same high level of musicality and no shortage of ideas within this rich collection of 10 original tracks.
A familiar cast of contributors return - with long term members Jamie Graham (drums), Tim Lane (drums), and Poppy Ackroyd (violin) all present, alongside newer personnel - Jack McNeill (clarinet) and Rebecca Knight (cello) all helping to realise Acheson’s musical vision.
The album title is taken from a line by Portuguese poet Fernando Pessoa - “No one tires of dreaming, because to dream is to forget, and forgetting does not weigh on us, it is a dreamless sleep throughout which we remain awake.”
And this seems an apt calling card for a collection that draws influence from a fantastic and diverse array of places. Musically at any given point you are as likely to hear sounds akin to Max Cooper or Four Tet as you are Stravinsky, Debussy, and Ravel.
With the idea of ‘reimagining’ playing a key role in the creation of the project, this track leans into the overarching concept and nature of dreams reworking everyday experience into new subconscious stories…

Nuage / 0% Anxiety
On the process of creating the LP, Kuzmin says:
“For me, music has always been healing – a feeling that removes anxiety, and points you in a positive direction. Perhaps that is why I really wanted to give this vibe to the listeners, to conduct a sound therapy. The last two years of recording the album were accompanied by tough things in my life (and the lives of many others), nevertheless I wanted to record the most danceable and inspiring album of my career – to put forth a mix of nostalgia, freedom and euphoria. This LP became a piece of work that I had never done before and I see it as a message to all freedom and peace loving people. I believe electronic music and the dancefloor are universal spaces, which inspires and creates love and peace. I close my eyes, my mind is under control, my anxiety levels go to zero.”

An album that in many ways sums up his career, and gathers his different musical paths into one sound and one album.

Two Lanes / Duality
Renowned for their introspective and immersive sound design, the electronic duo TWO LANES has been teasing singles from their new album for weeks. Now, they’ve taken the music world by storm with the release of their awe-inspiring debut album, Duality.
Duality immerses you in the ambient realms of chill electronic and melodic techno. It showcases the duo’s exceptional talent for intricate composition and evocative emotion.
TWO LANES, composed of Berlin-based brothers Leo and Rafa, has successfully blended acoustic piano recordings with analog synthesizers and minimal beat elements, forging their signature sound. Hailing from a musical family, the duo embarked on separate musical paths during their formative years. Leo developed a profound interest in playing the piano, immersing himself in the works of acclaimed composers such as JS Bach, Schumann, and Debussy. His dedication led him to study at The Juilliard School in New York City, where he earned a Master’s Degree in Historical Performance. Meanwhile, Rafael’s fascination with electronic music drove him to spend countless hours exploring sound design and electronic production.
Duality stands as a testament to TWO LANES’ exceptional musical prowess and their ability to craft captivating compositions that resonate deeply with their audience. As listeners embark on this sonic journey, they can expect to be enchanted by the harmonious blend of acoustic and electronic elements, immersing themselves in a world of musical beauty and introspection. With the release of Duality, TWO LANES solidify their position as a force to be reckoned with in the ever-evolving landscape of electronic music. [source]

Jon Hopkins / Immunity [10th Anniversary Edition]
To celebrate the 10-year anniversary of Jon Hopkins’ seminal fourth
album, Immunity, a newly remastered version of the record is now
available.
A confident, dramatic record defined by an acute sense of physicality
and place, Immunity felt and still feels, like the accompaniment to a
journey of creativity, a trip inside Hopkins’ mind. It brought together
everything he had learnt and experienced already but also paved the way
for the evolution of his future records, most recently, 2021’s Music For
Psychedelic Therapy.
Immunity was a turning point in Hopkins’ career. On its release in 2013,
Immunity announced itself as a powerful, multi-faceted beast, packed
with the most aggressively dancefloor-focussed music Hopkins had ever
made. However, Immunity was never just about the techno behemoths - of
which there were several. Hopkins wanted the album to help people to
reach different states of mind. From graceful and mournful piano notes,
stirring choral drones, he was always seeking new melodic routes to aid
this and his desire to use physical, real-world sounds as the basis for
many of the album’s rhythms allowed him to craft one of the most human
electronic albums.

Mildlife / Live From South Channel Island
On March 10th, 2021, Mildlife travelled by boat to South Channel Island to perform a live concert. This was filmed and recorded resulting in the motion picture Mildlife Live at South Channel Island. The artificial Island hosts a long abandoned 19th century fort, a labyrinth of underground concrete tunnels and an important breeding ground for the white-faced storm-petrel. Along with Mildlife, other visitors to the island include Abalone poachers, fairy penguins, black-faced cormorants and fur seals.
Before the island existed, the Boonwurrung people of the Greater Kulin Nation have lived on the land and waterways this performance was held on. Mildlife pays respect to their elders past, present and emerging and recognise that sovereignty has never been ceded.
