Our focus is on a new compilation, CRXSSINGS.  The idea first emerged after Rutger Zuydervelt (Machinefabriek) and Gabriel Saloman (of Yellow Swans) exchanged mixes of each other’s work. Wanting to release the material in a way that could raise funds and awareness in support of migrants and refugees struggling for survival in Europe, Zuydervelt and Saloman invited dozens of electronic artists across Europe, Australia and North America to collaborate with an artist from another country, remixing one another’s work. As well, the latest from ‘supergroup’ Uwe Zahn, Porya Hatami & Darren McClure and an excerpt from Ahnnu’s Longform Editions release.

Alex Last is Soda Lite. His latest work for the Inner Islands imprint, Vale & Stone, connects times and worlds old and new. A vale is a gathering place, where nutrients accumulate and waterways meet. Stone is slow becoming, ongoing link and lithic kin. Reverence for plants, animals and landscapes fuels regenerative possibility in the ruins of this era. This excellent release (and other Soda Lite works) is our focus on this episode.

Our focus is on the wonderful debut release from Michael Gordon – aka Mike Abercrombie of North Atlantic Drift. These are dense and melodic ambient/orchestral works that have a unique twist. The release is Polar Seas Recordings, a solidly reliable label run by Brad Deschamps (the other half of North Atlantic Drift).
