Space Exposure
Less is more
Label: Lynx Produktionz
Release date: 14-08-2020
Genre: Electronic, IDM, Soundscape
Format: Digital, CD
The new album is yet another varied musical journey through space. The sound is a tight step forward compared to the more lo-fi electronic debut album that went in many directions. ‘Less Is More’ flirts with electronics, IDM, future trap, synthwave, techhouse, drum and bass and soundcapes. Dreamy up-tempo tracks alternate effortlessly with darker, intoxicating productions. 

Jessy Lanza
All the time
Label: Hyperdub
Release date: 24-07-2020
Genre: Electronic, Pop, R&B
Format: Digital, CD, Vinyl
‘All the Time’ has turned out to be the most pure set of pop songs recorded by Lanza and her creative partner Jeremy Greenspan. Innovative juxtapositions sound natural, such as rigid 808’s rubbing against delicate chords in ‘Anyone Around’, unusual underwater rushes underpin Baby Love. Jessy’s voice is treated, re-pitched and edited on songs like Ice creamy and gestural sounds seem to respond to her lyrics in songs such as Like Fire.

Peerte Trunt
Halfweg
Label: Basserk records
Release date: 06-07-2020
Genre: Electronica
Format: Digital
Peerte Trunt (aka Peter Rutten) is one of the 3 label bosses at Basserk and former member of the legendary electro punk band 3-1. As Peerte is a getting older (Half way) he feels the time is right to share his easy listening music. The EP is called Halfweg, after the small town he lives in, located just outside of Amsterdam. 

Park Hye Jin
How can I
Label: Ninja Tune
Release date: 26-06-2020
Genre: Electronic, Techno
Format: Digital, vinyl
The six tracks on “How can I”—completed over the course of 2019, primarily in transit as she travelled for the first time across Europe, North America and Australia—showcase the multitude of styles and influences that have come to be encapsulated in her output to date.
