@Alice@gram.social I will always frantically race to take a photo of this Wonder Bread and Hostess Cake building whenever we're passing by on the freeway and I notice it at the very last minute.

Wonder Bread and Hostess Cake building on a gloomy day where 80% of the top of the photo is a sky in a weird shade of blue.

Emergence

A black and white landscape featuring dense fog rolling over a forested area. Light rays break through the fog, highlighting the treetops in the foreground and creating a mystical atmosphere.

@mamzikorven@pixelfed.social In the pale 2/3

Järbo is a village widely famous not for much, but it does attract some attention among nostalgiacs for its old vending machines still on display, if not in service, by the old store. It took a while to figure out what the sign must have read back in the day: specerihandel (grocery store). This huge, dilapidated building looked deserted to me, but after oohing and aahing and shooting a bit, I noticed a cat coming to one of the windows to check me out.

Back with a bang: 12 tracks of new music discovery below. And so much more to be found by clicking through the links of each artist. Enjoy. (It’ll be hard not to!)

As ever there’s a radio show version of this mixtape with some chat about the tracks. That can be found on Audio Interface (@audiointerface) from the first Monday of the month as well as featuring in NHAM Radio‘s Mixtape Mondays and Thursdays slots.

⬇️ Click below to begin playing, and keep the page open to hear the mix in full.

1. Sea Lady by Futzle
All Rights Reserved
With a touch of The Stranglers about it “Sea Lady” (originally written in 1992) is a song of longing for something that everyone said was imaginary. It is one of four expertly remastered tracks from Futzle‘s South of El Dorado EP, which now comes with a special fifth, previously unheard bonus track! I must admit that despite the song title I would have still been erroneously singing along, “Seeya later”, had it not been for Deborah sharing the lyrics next to the song synopsis. -Hearing lyrics wrong seems to be the one thing in life I’m a master of!
@futzle

2. Der Bus by Dead End Beach
All Rights Reserved
I love the energy in this electro punk number from Dead End Beach aka quosel, who describes himself as a hobbyist musician who is too distracted to be nerdy!
@quosel

3. Nimègue 1 by ΑΛΓ
CC BY-NC-SA 4.0
Apparently news about ΑΛΓ is scarce so savour this nugget: There is also a “Nimègue 2“, both tracks featuring on the EP “Monde”, and the two songs were originally written as a single piece. In the composition ΑΛΓ was trying to get away from a natural tendency towards darkness and introspection to create a lighter, punky tune with a touch of humour. It worked …to begin with, but as the track went on the mood began to revert to type. As such Aarn0 decided to split it in two, giving the first half the freedom to fly free of the weight of the dramatically epic second half.
@Aarn0

4. Want ook ik by Konstrukto & J. Duko
All Rights Reserved
Mmmm I love the smooth beats in this, complimented perfectly by the Dutch rap. It just flows so well. Takes me back into Cold Water Music. Konstrukto’s is conscios rap – messages of positivity, delivered atop soulful and jazzy melodies. Also an illustrator and animator, he has made some great videos for some of his releases. This track comes from the album “Schwung!”.

5. private lexicon by this occasional society
All Rights Reserved
Monthly music news curator this occasional society recently played a first ever live gig. “private lexicon” is one of four tracks released as an EP from the rehearsal sessions for that gig. Beautiful experimental, ambient electronica.

6. CLONK! (Ordos Mk.0‘s Liquid Heaven Mix) by AxWax
CC BY-NC-SA 4.0
It was hard to choose which track from AxWax’s recent “CLONK!” release to include here, such is the quality of all seven versions/remixes of the track. In the end I slammed a bamboo cane down on the release and it landed on Ordos Mk.0’s aptly named Liquid Heaven Mix. The live-streamed launch party for the EP was fantastic – with quality visuals to boost. If you missed it do give yourself the chance to listen to all seven tracks, which are downloadable for free.
@axwax & @ordosmarkzero

7. punch card by pdp8
CC BY-SA 4.0
From the “permanent storage” EP alongside three other long term data backup options, “punch card” first made an appearance on “The Four Seasons of Bonk Wave: Bonks of Spring 2” compilation album. It has a delightfully bouncy and wobbly groove that is certain to make you jiggle.
@pdp8@social.pdp8.info

8. Summer Paintings by Simon Heartfield
All Rights Reserved
Ah, so gorgeous, like floating on clouds. From the album “Intervals” (inspired by Claire Shanley-Inglis‘ paintings) which combines post-techno/rock and modern classical elements using some complex time signatures and polyrhythms. Simon is a Portsmouth-based musician, composer, producer, former FE librarian and child acrobat!

9. Passage by socool
All Rights Reserved
Keeping on the theme of floating in the clouds… and introducing some heavy wob wob wob turbulence, you’ll enjoy turning this one up and immersing yourself in the atmos. From socool’s recently released “To the Nines” album, for which you can find our exclusive interview with Emily here to learn more about one of this scene’s most prolific and proficient talents.

10. ACHTUNG ELECTRO by 4TRIKS
All Rights Reserved
It’s great to welcome 4TRIKS back with this latest release. aka Christopher Georges describes his work as a tribute to the danceable frenzy of true electro-techno sound, and I’ve loved everything I’ve heard from him.
@4triks

11. So Long Gone by The Midnight Detective Club – Tectonic Mix by Brickwall Unlimited Inc.
All Rights Reserved
It’s so good when artists in this space combine their talents. The original of “So Long Gone” was released earlier this year alongside other synth-pop bangers on “Lost Destiny”, and dereisenhofer of Bandstahl and Brickwall Unlimited Inc. fame has remixed it supercharging the 808 kick.

12. changes ? by oji
CC0
So let’s close out with a lo-fi, wistful number. Coming from the recently released, “quiet music.” album which comes with a large amount of cited influences, it’s a wonderful little number which feels like the perfect way to bid you adieu this month. Until next time…

#DoorsDay

Side-by-side dwellings. Both have one small window and one larger window over a garage door, but they're mirrored kind of making them look like the faces in that dumb lel emoji. The left side is painted kind of a darker mint green and the right is more of a cornflower blue. Both have white trim.

Square image with a dark frame showing a colorfully lit tunnel. The view goes up a concrete wall to the concrete ceiling. The line between the ceiling and the wall runs diagonally from the bottom left to the top right of the image. Spotlights cast different colored light from below along the wall to the ceiling. It starts on the left with yellow/orange, then pink, then blue and green.

Eemnesserweg

A silhouetted tree standing alone on the bank of a flooded bridle path. The light is coming from behind the tree, creating a dramatic, deep shadow effect. The reflection of the tree in the still water is nearly perfect, adding a strong sense of symmetry and depth. The sky features a beautiful gradient of color, moving from deep blue/teal at the top to bright yellow and orange along the horizon, where the sun is setting. The light is soft and hazy, contributing to a mystical atmosphere. In the foreground, the banks are covered in grass and low-lying vegetation. On the right side, there is a patch of purple heather, which adds a subtle splash of color. In the distance, the landscape is shrouded in a light mist, with the tops of other trees poking through.

Colors

A leaf, intensely backlit to highlight the intricate network of veins. The leaf exhibits striking autumnal colors, primarily vibrant red and pink mixed with bright green along the main veins. A small, bright hole is visible near the top, and the image emphasizes the leaf's complex, web-like natural architecture.

A view of deep blue ocean water with rippling waves. Sunlight reflects here and there on the surface but also reaches deep below the surface, giving the water depth and texture. In the center of the image the shadows of two people are projected onto the water. At the bottom of the photo, some foamy white sea spray from a moving boat is visible.
