TECHNOGLITCHLUSH
• tube'|239 - Daniel Maze - Lush Premiere
«Shortly after the recent collaboration with his friend Dave Zeal - the excellent 'Blueprints for insect architecture' - here's Daniel Maze once again with a solid release, delivering his signature electronic music with ambient flavour.
'Lush Premiere' comes almost six years after Daniel's debut here at test tube, with the stunner 'How's the serenity EP' and keeps treading more or less the same way, mixing tape with voice loops (just compare the old 'Hungarian Grandparents' with the new '1933') and now adding some glitch minimal techno-ish beats, putting some nods on your head while doing it, which is a nice twist.
Daniel also has released works at 12rec and at the now extinct EKO label and Standard Klik Music, and another one on Magyar, a canadian imprint. They are all excellent of course, and highly recommended to anyone who's interested in this sort of straightforward ambient and wants to learn more about Daniel's work.
There is still plenty of glitch and lots of tape loops waiting for your love here, so put on your headphones, sit back, relax and enjoy another awesome Daniel Maze release.»

SUNBEAMS
• tube'|238 - Ceptual - Songs for the Sun
«Ceptual a.k.a. A Sankip Hummad a.k.a. Desmond Hollins is returning to test tube to present his new and amazing work made in the realms of experimental ambient. 'Songs for the sun' is an ambitious experiment in which Desmond mixes all his musical knowledge ranging from hip-hop to IDM to ambient music.
The outcome is a outstandingly rich collection of tunes that will make you dream and smile. Think Boards of Canada, think Folktronica, think early Brian Eno. Now think of something completely different. Yeah. Think about strolling about in your favorite woods or forest, looking above at the tree canopy... see the sun beams cracking through the leaves? Now imagine the perfect soundtrack for that (other than the nature itself, of course) and well, this is it.
Desmond has previously released as Ceptual for Miasmah and others, and as A Sankip Hummad here and here.»
