Experimental soundscape / electronic netlabel Frozen Elephant has their 13th release out, this time by Stretchandrelax a project of Elise Ladoué and Félicia Atkinson.

Waaga Records
Lo-fi kingpins Lefse Records have a new and equally amazing outlet called Waaga Records. In the spirit of 2010’s Waaga offers us a 15 song free download compilation, that starts with an amazing lazy psychedelic jam MING MING DANCE COMPANY and ends with glitcy IDM scapes by Seams. Impressive.
