Basic_Sounds Best of 2009
martin schulte / depth of soul / lantern
- My new favourite artist discovery this year is Russian producer, Marat Shibaev aka Martin Schulte. Twenty-one year old, Martin Schulte successfully delivers delicious dub-inspired techno intertwined with floating ambient textures and atmospheric field recordings.
pablo bolivar / recall / regular
-Spanish producer, Pablo Bolivar develops clinical sequences into divine warm melodies and stunning techno grooves.
ametsub / the nothings of the north / progressive form
- 25 year old Tokyo-based musician Ametsub delivers satisfying glitchy IDM melodies.
lusine / a certain distance / ghostly
- Seattle based, Lusine aka Jeff McIlwain combines sophisticated pop structures with warm melodic IDM melodies.
jonathan johansson / en hand i himlen / hybris
- Jonathan Johansson creates infectious nostalgic Swedish synth-pop. I've become that annoying sixteen year-old high school girl that plays her favourite pop song over and over again.
quantec / cauldron subsidence / echocord
- Quantec aka Sven Schienhammer, delivers his second full length release with outstanding deep pulsating dub ambiance.
fluxion / constant limber / resopal schallware
- Fluxion combines deep delicious dub sounds over driven 4/4 beats.
pendle coven / self assessment / modern love
- Pendle Coven, known for being half of MLZ, presents his first full-length debut. Well produced dub techno with some straightforward dubstep, broken beat and shimmering ambiance.
pleq / the metamorphosis / u-cover
- Pleq constructs well-crafted glitchy ambiance, full of delicate shifting micro sounds, percussion clicks and orchestral sentiments.
brock van wey (aka bvdub) / white clouds drift on and on / echospace
- Brock Van Wey produces beautiful sentimental ambient music and is the first Echospace outsider to be accepted on the label.
black to comm / alphabet 1968 / type
- Beautiful drone ambient album full of haunting loops, distant lullabies and psychedelic classical structures.
lowfish / frozen and broken / noise factory
- Gregory de Rocher aka Lowfish produces quality grooving analogue synth-electro/techno full of catchy melodies.
ólafur arnalds / found songs / erased tapes
- Minimalist Icelandic composer, Ãlafur Arnalds brilliantly managed to produce this sentimental classical album in seven days.
rone / spanish breakfast / infine
- French producer, Rone aka Erwan Castex, delivers a driving tech-house album full of cinematic overtones.
port-royal / dying in time / n5md
- Port-Royal deliver their original, emotionally elevated shoegaze ambience while incorporating distortions of techno and synth pop.
redshape / the dance paradox / delsin
- Redshape produces driven acid basslines with futuristic analogue warmth.
dj sprinkles / midtown 120 blues / mule
- Terre Thaemlitz aka Dj Sprinkles delivers a solid deep house album with a pinch of melancholy.
louderbach / autumn / m_nus
- Troy Pierce and Gibby Miller combines Miller's vocals with Pierce's dark minimal techno productions for clinical driven basslines and robotic introspective sounding love songs.
yagya / rigning / sending orbs
- Icelandic producer, Yagya aka Aalsteinn Gumundsson, delivers his third full-length release of hypnotizing melancholy ambient beats.
marconi union / tokyo / bine
- Minimalist ambient soundscapes with micro-beats and glitchy percussion.
