KLANGBILD

Painting by Jonathan Zawada

It's been a while since we last had one of these on here. Swedish netlabel Astor Bell is back again after a small hiatus, and they brought goodies! I've posted about the label on here before, if you're just tuning in I suggest you check out their back catalog, and the excellent ssssoundtrack Astor Bell's Socket Science made a while ago.
Now, about the actual subject of this post then, Aloo, and his Klangbild EP that was just released on the label. I'm really enjoying the downtempo and ambient sound of it. download the entire EP here, for free, as usual.

SSSSOUNDTRACK PT.VII - THE SOCKET SCIENCE SUBWAY EDITION

And now for something completely different. No, not really. Many of you will be familiar with the SSSSOUNDTRACK-project on here by now (if not, go to the column on the left side of the page, look for 'projects' and then 'ssssoundtrack' below, click!). But this latest ssssoundtrack does stand out from at least the previous two mixes - musically speaking. I guess that makes it by definition something different, which is good. Mixer for this edition is Swedish artist (& co-runner of the netlabel Astor Bell) Socket Science, who by the way just released his sophomore EP on said label.
Apart from some unreleased Astor Bell goodies (e.g. Bubble Shield's 'Hex'), artists included range from Hot Chip's Joe Goddard, to Four Tet, to Joy Orbison, passing by Simian Mobile Disco, Gui Boratto, Pantha Du Prince, etc. and ending with of course Socket Science's latest, 'Ephedra' and Caribou's 'Sun' - a true gem.
Find it on soundcloud as well, listen to it below, download here and get Socket Science latest EP here while you're at it!

GOING, GOING,
