#7 Feat. New Releases in Ambient / Experimental

Melbourne / Naarm strongholdButter Sessionsclock 15 years in the game with a trilogy of 12s, sustaining their uncompromising streak of peak-form electronics. The family-style V/A binds friends, collaborators, former studio neighbours and DJ booth allies, capturing a label that exists as community as much as catalogue. A new chapter in Butter Sessions ongoing Japanese exchange sees Sapporo sound sculptor Kuniyukire-opening a 2015 tour collaboration with label heads Sleep D- a deep, spatial beatdown powered by dub pressure and percussive hypnosis. Shadow-lurking prodigy Mosam Howiesondrops in with his trademark scatterbrain techno, while Hasvat Informantlocks into joint-consciousness big-room radioactivity. Opening the B-side, Fader Capfuses Balearic psy-ence with Mike Dunn-esque utilitarian jack, hovering somewhere between 80s memory and future vision. Tokyos Mayurashkafollows with Survival Guide, big beat colliding with drug chug, before Albrecht LaBrooyreunite for a divine chill-out tent slowdown, magnifying sample detail with exacting flow. Were adrift until Sunju Hargunlights the beacon with ???????(Sky Surfer), Thailands emissary of ritualistic minimal trance. Whether taken alone or folded into the three-disc triptych, each instalment stands as a bag-ready constant, charged with Butter Sessions curatorial finesse.
