You can probably gather that we’re pretty big fans of the Kahvi Collective. They’ve released some of my favorite electronic music this year with Mikael Fyrek’s A Thousand Years and One and Aleksi Eeben’s Preserverence. They’ve been around for a long time (ten years this year!), and every single release is truly the best of what the demoscene has to offer.
This last week has seen two releases from the netlabel: Zerochoice by Polish electronic artist Tom Bragl and Whom by US-based ambient artist Curious Inversions. Bragl mixes acoustic instrumentation, electronic atmospheres, and clicky percussion for an engaging experience that is mellow yet productive. Curious Inversions, on the other hand, makes no aologies for the obvious Jean Michel-Jarre (one of my favorite artists of all time) influence that pervades this release, as layers of pads, fat basslines, and angelic belltones create a soothing accompaniment to whatever you may find yourself doing while listening. And hey, as always, it’s all free!
Are you a fan of the music that Kahvi Collective has been putting out? Has either of these releases found favor with your eardrums?
