IONOSPHERIC
• tube'|232 - Fescal - Into the atmosphere
«From South Korea we welcome a new artist to our ever growing test tube family, his nom de guerre: Fescal. He has previously
released through a couple of labels, with his most notable work being 'Beautiful Neurotic' published by the reborned Camomille Music label.
Fescal's signature sound is a marvellous and seducing combination of hiss and low frequency drones with some sort of 'lowercase' dark ambient cleverly stitched to the mix with much subtlety, and then he uses those ingredients to build massive walls of sound that leave the listener simultaneously numb and amazed, and even euphoric sometimes, just like a good psychdrug should.
This little gem of an EP will easily be featured in my top 2011 releases.»

HOLES BENEATH OUR FEET
• tube'|231 - The Sales Department - Sinkholes
«The third and last installment of this series started here and continued here by canadian music composer Mike Matheson, has come to an end. Like both its predecessors, 'Sinkholes' invests in gorgeous and intricately crafted beats that remind us how good good electronic music can be, especially this breed of the so called 'IDM'. Gentle pads and background ambient help build the rest of this excellent release. Hard to pick a favorite among all the tracks on offer.
This is certainly a good excuse for all of you to download the first two releases by The Sales department, '[Sub]ways'
and 'A Practical Guide' and together with 'Sinkholes' play them all in a row. It's more than 60 minutes of really great canadian electronic music.»
