Happy Robots release Pye Corner Audio remix of Alice Hubble’s We Are Still Alone

Here’s a great remix by Pye Corner Audio of a track by Alice Hubble. We Are Still Alone is originally featured on her great debut album Polarlichter, which was released in 2019. Pye Corner Audio (aka Martin Jenkins) has created a wonderful dystopian, electronica remix, as you would expect.

I had to look up a definition of Witch House as it’s a genre that seems to have passed me by. As I’d recently gotten a lot of this kind of thing in my inbox I thought I’d better look it up… According to Wikipedia, ‘Witch House’ is a dark, occult-themed electronic music microgenre and visual aesthetic that emerged in the late 2000s and early […]
Safejas releases Balance
In Electronic Music Reviews
Lewis Shields aka Safejas is a Berlin-based producer working in the fractured seams of electronic music, producing sounds that feel both alien and familiar. Moving between the more exploratory fringes of club music and expansive ambient soundscapes, Shields’ music breathes with curiosity and fractious detail. Before he donned the Safejas moniker, Shields played bass and added electronics to […]
Massimo Pupillo – The Black Iron Prison
In Electronic Music Reviews
Just a cursory glance at the title should tell you that this will fit into the ‘dark’ category of ambient. Its a slow burner, and builds upon its pulsating foundation with squelching and belching sounds that slowly build in intensity. Later we move into some raw, delayed analogue sweeps that add some variation to the composition before we transition to a final section with a slower, […]

Gabriel Stern releases This ‘n That
In Electronic Music Reviews
I’m a big fan of music that uses sampling to create music that’s almost a sound collage. It goes back to the beginnings of music concrete, and can be traced through the Beatles Revolution No 9 through to Hip Hop and the KLF and The Orb. It’s great to now discover Gabriel Stern… Gabriel Stern is a classically trained musician from New York. Although he’s 77 years old […]

Bug is a musician who creates music in many styles, ranging from guitar-driven art-rock to instrumental downtempo and triphop. He’s just released a great track called Prize Pig, a chopped up, low key, mellow, downtempo track with a subdued piano undercurrent complemented by descending vocal swirls and a lo-fi rhythm track… Bug · Prize Pig If you like that, then take a listen to […]
Rare0000 – Machine Learning
In Electronic Music Reviews
Rare0000 is a producer from France, producing exciting and energetic electronic music, blending hip-hop rhythms and beats with synth arrangements, industrial, and techno sounds and patterns. His latest track is called Machine Learning. It’s a little more club leaning than what I’d usually post here, but I liked its approach, reminding me of some old-school stuff like Orbital and the […]
