There’s not a new day without a free download compilation/sampler/release on the internet anymore, increasingly becoming the tool of the trade. First label compilation by Portland’s Circle into Square is a 13 track sampler with electronic, indie, indietronic stuff and electronic hip-hop.

Our dear friend Grup Ses sent us the new series he’s started called Ses Partisi 01 which is a series dedicated to contemporary alternative music from Turkey. Includes songs from him, Klaustro, Grangulez, Replikas, Hazavuzu, Ekin Fil of Proudpilot and even an older track by yours truly!.

Last week’s Undomondo Radio Show #87 – A tribute to Nursel Kaymaz a friend we lost at the ripe age of 32.

#86 – Dreamy electronic music + ambient soundscapes from Can. Mojib, Seaworthy, Pole, Color Cassette etc.

Without doubt the most heart-rending noise & drone album since Burning Star Core’s Blood Lightning 2007, a testimony to the fall of an Empire, the desolation after an apocalypse, or the soundtrack to nuclear meltdown, blink and the LPs are gone.

Not to be mixed with Bibio from Warp, Biblo (trinket) is Istanbul’s own wonderwoman Pinar Süt, member of Proudpilot, best upcoming band from Istanbul.

Experimental soundscape / electronic netlabel Frozen Elephant has their 13th release out, this time by Stretchandrelax a project of Elise Ladoué and Félicia Atkinson. Not unlike AGF’s experiments with vocal and soundscapes, Stretchandrelax explores micro spaces via “field recordings, beats, spoken words and instrumentation”.

Our generous friend Ernesto Gonzales from Exponential Music tipped us about their annual freebie compilation for SXSW a few days ago, incl. but not limited to The Heliotronics, Jahcoozi’s Robot Koch, James Pants, Sutekh, Deceptikon, Mochipet, Shlohmo and Ernesto himself.
