Headphone Commute

Headphone Commute is an independent online magazine that focuses specifically on the latest electronic, experimental and instrumental music.

They mainly write about reviews, interviews and record labels, but their main significance to me is the podcast. It is usually a weekly podcast, lasting around an hour or so and I always manage to find something new in them as well as still hearing tracks from some of the biggest names in the genres.

you can find all their articles on the Headphone Commute website and the podcasts are posted onto MixCloud, so definitely check it out.

Field Rotation

German composer Christoph Bero is based in Berlin, where he produces a haunting blend of ambient, downtempo and experimental music.

His latest release - Fatalist: the repetition of History came out on Denovali Records earlier this month. It expands upon his Acoustic Tales project with guest musicians Aaron Martin and Mari Solaris.

I first discovered Field Rotation on the Imaginary Friends compilation, with his beautiful opening track Regenzeit II, which is absolutely astounding. It progesses from an incredibly atmospheric piece into a soothing soundscape with the noise of falling rain, perfect for unwinding.
