  1. LOVEBEATYoshinori Sunahara · 2001 LOVEBEAT Have gatekept this album for so long Product of a 90s genre/subculture in Japan called Shibuya-kei. Really cool read if you’re interested
  2. A Hundred Days OffUnderworld · 2002 Sola Sistim One of my favourite tracks ever and one that made me really love and listen to more Underworld. It’s not often you find a song that you could listen to in any mood / setting (at least for me) and I think it’s the contrasting upbeat melody and downbeat vocals but I also have no idea and you should just listen to it yourself
  3. One Word ExtinguisherPrefuse 73 · 2003 Perverted Undertone Metal af Edit: thatkidzayy just posted this track on insta, feeling epic I beat him to it 😎

  11. 5th Nov I Wanna Feel YouCourtney Bailey · 2025 I Wanna Feel You - Berlin Version MATE! I’m putting you on. Courtney Bailey is a g. You just know this was built for a proper soundsystem. Such a clean break, builds you up then gently lays you down
  12. 5th Nov What's a Girl to Do (Remixes)Fatima Yamaha · 2025 What's a Girl to Do (Upsammy Remix) Beautiful and such such such a creative reimagination of a classic. I saw upsammy at dekmantel selectors this year in tisno, croatia. Day 2 or 3 of the festival, the morning was hot and dry and we went swimming in nearby jezera. It was beautiful! Fast forward a few hours, we’re having a few beers at the back of main stage, still hot and dry. Looking over the hill that the main stage backs onto we could see a bit of a front coming through. Weird cos there was no bad weather forecast. Fast forward like 2 minutes and BOOOOOM!!! Massive lightning bolt like 500m directly behind main stage and I shit you not people are running and screaming by the time the rain hits hahaha. Anyway, there’s one undercover stage that can fit maybe 2-300 people and there were about 1000, half probably tripping balls, crammed under there. Torrential horizontal rain and lightning every 10 seconds. The rain subsided and genuinely no one leaves (or moves lmao), at which point upsammy steps up (very unassuming btw) and lays down the freshest, froggiest prog set you’ve ever heard. Rays of sun peaking through the clouds right behind the decks, it was pure bliss. Gg upsammy

  14. 4th Nov Jazz dreamsFine · 2026 If you wanna come down If Lana and Julia Jacklin had a kid feels like Copenhagen has such a distinctive sound now
  15. 4th Nov Tiny EmpireChatterton · 2025 Blouse Makes me think of a past relationship gone awry. A whole lot of coulda shoulda woulda
  16. Updated 3rd Nov · Created 31st Oct Air Texture VI Steffi + MartynSteffi, Martyn, Air Texture · 2018 Verloren If you don’t know dBridge, he is a dnb/jungle legend. OG metalheadz records, few tracks on various DJ Kicks (scuba & nina kraviz lmao) and still making music 2 notes
  17. 3rd Nov Light Vessel AutomaticStoned Autopilot, Martin Buttrich · 2022 Son of Sunshine One of ma favessss. Takes you on a journey and the switch ups around 1.30/2mins are cool and keep it interesting/unpredictable. Like walking a busy street on da subcontinent
  18. 3rd Nov Smooth SensationVarious Artists · 2019 Flux Atmospheric, dubby but manages to drive forward
  19. 3rd Nov ClassicsDave Angel · 1996 Brother from Jazz Strings are really nice, interesting how the break itself constantly builds into smaller breaks then settles back into regular rhythm
  20. 2nd Nov Fast ForwardJuan Atkins · 2004 Spin Very very sad to hear about the passing of Juan Atkins, the Originator, godfather of techno. One of the Belleville Three, Juan was a genuine pioneer in that he was the first to arrange synths, drum machines and turntables into what at the time was unheard of, being techno. If you’ve heard of 303s and 909s, he was one of the first to make real tracks with them. People shunned him but he knew what he was creating was special. He paved the way for so many genres and has left an undisputed legacy as one of the genuine goats of modern music. Such a shame but what an incredible impact :( 🤍
  21. 2nd Nov Hongkong RemasteredMonolake · 2008 Occam Classic stripped-down Monolake tech. Great concentration music for work/study. Gerhard Behles, one half of Monolake, went on to co-found Ableton and still runs it to this day!
  22. 1st Nov At The Emerald PoolJonny Nash, Tomo Katsurada · 2026 Someday We’ll All Fall Down Heaps of kikagaku moyo about this, guitar feels almost spiritual

  25. 31st Oct Limbs - for WildlifeMoonshoe · 2020 Album created to raise money for wildlife and native regeneration after the devastating 2019 bushfires on the south coast :( Think this album generally flew under the radar bc some tracks are wild 2 notes
  26. 31st Oct Gershwin's WorldHerbie Hancock · 1998 St. Louis Blues Herbie Hancock what a beast!!! Harmonica is easily most underrated instrument ever don’t @ me

  28. 30th Oct I Trance YouGypsy · 1992 I Trance You - Mix 1 Genuinely best opener track OAT
  29. 27th Oct The Seven DogsRteph88, Steve Cobby · 2026 Early Doors Fun fact, Cobby is actually one half of fila brazillia. Whole EP feels like a slightly more jazzy / instrumental vers of a fila song
  30. 26th Oct The Age of ImmunologyVanishing Twin · 2019 Magician's Success vanishing twin always manage to nail the texture. You can’t tell me this doesn’t sound str8 out of the late 90/2000s bossa nova / pop rock. I’m all for it tbf 2 notes
  31. 26th Oct Cryonic Suspension May Save Your LifeVanishing Twin · 2019 Who Wants to Live Forever? Pretty fuggin creepy if you ask me but also pretty cool Reverbed voice + guitar + simple kicks is nice
  32. 26th Oct Fear of ProgrammingMarcel Dettmann · 2022 Water Such a classic, feel like Marcel is generally pretty deep/heavy so it’s a welcome change. Seen him playing a few day sets recently which I’ve been thinking is an interesting choice
  33. 26th Oct StayDJ Hank · 2022 Stay Supa fresh sampling
  34. 25th Oct Music Is Invisible (Pentimento Volume Three)Jon Hassell · 2026 Blue Ba-Ya Craziest soundscape, def listen with headphones. Haunting and beautiful!
