Andy Graham is a Glasgow, Scotland-born electronic music producer who is known for his innovative approach to ambient soundscapes and cinematic atmospheres. Before studying audio technology in college and university, he was always interested in playing turntables; a couple of Gemini belt drives eventually turned into three Technics 1200s, which I guess then sparked everything […]
Bogdan Raczynski will release a new album on Disciples. Rumoured to have been discovered by Aphex Twin sleeping on a park bench in Tokyo, Raczynski first appeared on the scene in 1999 with three albums. He went on to explore hallucinatory IDM and traditional Polish folk music amongst other paths, collaborated with Björk, produced a […]
This edition of Influences comes from Efterklang, the Danish pop band comprising childhood friends Mads Brauer, Casper Clausen, and Rasmus Stolberg. In September, they’re due to release Things We Have In Common, their seventh album, which was written in collaboration with pianist and composer Rune Mølgaard, who left the band in 2007 after the group’s […]
NKISI is the alias of Melika Ngombe Kolongo, a DJ-producer and live act born in the Democratic Republic of Congo and raised in Leuven, Belgium.

Seven years…that’s the time between Mount Kimbie‘s third album, Love What Survives, and their fourth, The Sunset Violent. During that time, Dominic Maker relocated to Los Angeles, California, where he wrote for artists including James Blake, Travis Scott, Slowthai, Rosalía, and Jay-Z; meanwhile, Kai Campos, his partner, whom he met at London Southbank university, remained […]
Seamus Malliagh, better known as Iglooghost, will release a new album in May. Tidal Memory Exo is an “enthrallingly dark and blistering” album we’re told, on which his vocals take centre stage for the the first time. Malliagh made it while living in a “rust-ridden flooded squat in a weird UK seaside town” in Kent, […]
Kelly Moran will release a new album next month on Warp. Moves in the Field moves away from the prepared piano techniques which defined Moran’s earlier works like 2017’s Bloodroot and her 2018 Warp debut, Ultraviolet. Instead, Moran “returns to her roots” using the natural sound of an acoustic piano. We’re told to expect a […]
Mount Kimbie will release their fourth studio album in April. The Sunset Violent, releasing through Warp, picks up where the UK duo’s last studio album, 2017’s Love What Survives left off, marrying modern indie, shoegaze, and electronica. The album was written in California’s Yucca Valley, a scant Western town with a history of alleged UFO […]

In the years since, he’s released an EP, Lamental, and remixed artists such as GoGo Penguin and Danny Elfman. It’s inspired by the “novel, eerie, sublime silence” of lockdown. “The cancellation of […]
Daniel Lopatin, better known as Oneohtrix Point Never, will release a new album via Warp. Again follows on from 2020’s Magic Oneohtrix Point Never. In Lopatin’s words, it’s a “speculative autobiography” with his “trademark melodic touch.” Much like 2015’s Garden of Delete, Again germinated as a collaboration between Lopatin’s current and younger selves, but this […]
Gaika (born Gaika Tavares) will release a new album on Big Dada Recordings. Across 14 new tracks, Drift is piece of shape-shifting body of work with hip-hop and club music at its core. It has a psychedelic feel that is formed by incorporating ’90s grunge, dark wave, post-punk, and alt-rock into its tapestry. We’re told […]
