‘Expressive, lyrical, mystical.’ | Interview with Philipp Maria Rosenberg
This one is not for your relaxed jazz playlist. It’s filled with emotion. Pathos. The last thing it will make you feel is relaxed.
‘Punchy drummy riddim’ | Interview with VAAGUE
Imagine a doomed pianist caught in a nightmare, a technical jazz player reborn in a universe where free jazz is obsolete and the listeners crave IDM.
‘Atmosphere. Rhythm. Exploration.’ | Interview with iota
The Greek band iota delivers “Aspect” as part of their album See Your Universe. Expect a moody, beautifully minimal melodic riff, microtuning-heavy improvs, and a smooth bass driven groove.
