pjpriiincess – T.A.S.
A four-track EP of delightfully weird but welcoming abstract electronic explorations that fall just outside the realm of ambient.

4 track album
rauðvik – “auðnirnar”
Twenty-plus minutes of dark drones, icy textures and burbling sound design, placid enough to keep on in the background, but spooky enough to demand your attention.

Sick Robot – “Space Fiend”
Aggressive and uncompromising breakbeat track that’s begging to be used to soundtrack a training or building montage in a sci-fi film.

Sick Robot is back after a two year hiatus. Armed with new technology and a fresh cup of tea, expect some serious beats. Bookings and commissions available at [email protected]. Open to collabo
Gillian Lever – “Queen of the Should”
Minimalist sound art combining spoken word poetry, noise, Foley FX and occasional small musical gestures to tell an evocative and mesmerizing story.

Jeremy Muller – “Music for Botany”
A minimal experimental piece that focuses deeply, exclusively even, on the interaction of several shaker rhythms.
