The Orb / Buddhist Hipsters

 In a changing, unpredictable and turbulent world, something we can always rely on is a new Orb album, with the next holiday-for-the-head never far away. On what is quite possibly the millionth longplayer helmed by electronic lifer Alex Paterson; partnered with the now firmly-entrenched boy wonder Michael Rendall; the inspirationally productive outfit yet again deliver the goods, with one of their best yet.

Rio Kosta / Unicorn

 Άψογοι ο Μάικ και ο Κώστας

 Collectively, Unicorn is an album infused with the spirit of its creation. The multi-instrumentalist, vocalist, producer and songwriter duo – Mike Del Rio and Kosta Galanopoulos – met by chance backstage at a festival, each intrigued by the other’s vibe. That feeling of fate intervening was only heightened when their very first jam together resulted in the album’s title track. Since that moment, Rio Kosta has been informed by the bliss of friendship, of losing themselves in playing music, and of jamming deep into the night. That spirit is palpable throughout.

Dominik Eulberg / Lepidoptera

 Lepidoptera—the scientific name for butterflies, meaning “scale-winged”—is also the title of the seventh studio album by renowned music producer, bestselling author, ecologist, and knowledge mediator Dominik Eulberg. More than just an album, Lepidoptera is an artistic manifesto: a celebration of butterfly diversity and a profound ecological statement.

Eulberg’s fascination with butterflies began in early childhood and has since become a lifelong passion. Set for release on October 31, 2025, via !K7 Records, Lepidoptera blends his signature sound with an urgent ecological message. It marks the pinnacle of a music career spanning over three decades.

Drawing from years of experience as a producer and DJ, Eulberg presents his most technically ambitious work yet. At the same time, he describes this album as his freest: “I simply made the music as it came out of me—without concern for club suitability or genre boundaries.”

The result is a richly textured and immersive journey that moves fluidly between pulsating, danceable rhythms, ambient soundscapes, and orchestral flourishes. Filmmaker Jan Haft calls it “a dazzling marriage of retro and avant-garde.” Throughout, the album remains unmistakably “Eulbergian,” showcasing an artist who has continuously refined his own distinctive musical language.

At the heart of Lepidoptera are twelve native butterfly species, handpicked by Eulberg from the 3,700 known species in his homeland. Each track is inspired by one species, shaping the album's structure and grounding its creative focus.“Making music is really about choosing from endless possibilities,” Eulberg says. “Without a clear concept, you can easily drown in them.”

To bring authenticity to the project, Eulberg immersed himself in the lives of butterflies—studying their biology, observing them in the wild, and even breeding several species at home alongside his wife, Natalia. He views butterflies as a “poetic metaphor for life,” capable of stirring deep emotional resonance. Each composition musically interprets the behavior and life cycle of its corresponding species.

But Lepidoptera goes far beyond music. Eulberg intends it as a multimedia educational tool, using sound as a gateway to emotional engagement with science and nature. “Music is a joyful, low-barrier tool for sensitization,” he explains. “Science provides facts, but it often only reaches the mind. Emotions touch the soul—they inspire curiosity, wonder, and compassion, the true drivers of change.”

To this end, the album is accompanied by videos (including work from Jan Haft), interactive games, and visual art. The album cover functions as an “educational display,” featuring illustrations by Nikolas Kuhlen depicting all twelve butterfly species across all four life stages: egg, caterpillar, pupa, and imago. “It helps people visualize the miracle of metamorphosis and rekindle their love for nature,” Eulberg says.

Looking ahead, Eulberg is reimagining the traditional release tour. Instead of club performances, he’s planning an educational tour in collaboration with artists and scientists. He will visit environmental education centers, host talks, and offer workshops for both children and adults. The aim: to ignite fascination for local biodiversity and foster a deeper connection to nature. “Happy people who love nature don’t start wars,” he concludes.

Harper Trio / Dialogue of Thoughts

 Σου είχα πει για το πρώτο, βγήκε και δεύτερο

 

 

In recent years, the jazz harp has quietly reemerged as a force in modern jazz circles, exemplified by electric jazz harpist and composer Maria-Christina Harper. In 2023, she released her much-acclaimed debut album 'Passing By 'with The Harper Trio, imbuing her compositions and instrument with a spirit of innovation and creative freedom. Drawing influences from her Greek and Egyptian musical roots to the avant-garde, the album established the trio's signature sound - spiritually charged, shimmering soundscapes and experimental tones - recasting the harp's place in jazz.

Dialogue of Thoughts is The Harper Trio's second album reuniting the exceptional talents of celebrated drummer Evan Jenkins (of the Neil Cowley Trio) and dynamic saxophonist Josephine Davies. True to her approach, Maria-Christina Harper is less concerned with placing her harp centre stage than creating a dialogue between band members, each bringing their own experiences to the sound. The trio takes the listener on an aural journey rich in nuance and unexpected turns. Throughout the album, Davies' warm, full-bodied tone and expansive solos--fuelled by Jenkins' measured, intricate drumming--interplay with the harp to evoke contrasting moods, from brash intensity to quiet serenity and unhurried calm.
