This month has without doubt been the hardest choice in a very long time with regards to selecting just ten albums in our top 10 list. Their seems to be so much good music doing the rounds on the Fluid playlists of late, and after much deliberation the list below is our current favs for September…

Erik K. Skodvin – Flare

The album as a whole bears the hallmark of someone who is not experimenting per se, but has a VERY CLEAR VISION of what is to be achieved at the end of the creative process. This record did not…

It seems to get harder and harder each month to select our favourite ten releases. August was no exception to the rule and after much deliberation we finally made our choice with artists such as Goldmund, Noveller, Chris Abrahams and Aaron Martin making the grade…

Goldmund – Famous Places

Keith Kenniff follows up 2008’s “The Malady of Elegance” with the third album under his Goldmund guise. Where Helios, his other key musical alias, takes on long form compositions which blend piano, guitar and electronics, Goldmund has always been about compact, concise piano music. On “Famous Places,” released this August…

The last few weeks have most definitely seen some of the best releases so far this year which in turn has made this months selection that much tuffer to select…

No.1: Nils Frahm and Anne Müller – 7 Fingers

The album is sequenced in an extraordinary way; alternating between introspective classical pieces and glitchy, propulsive hallucinations creating an all-around, complete listening experience. 7 Fingers is an absolute necessity and will surely stand as one of the better releases of the year.

No.2: Fieldhead – Riser

There is still, amongst the grainy production and experimental techniques, a defiantly pop sensibility at…

1. Olan Mill – Pine

Listening to “Pine,” the second release from record label Serein, and the debut recording from Olan Mill, it is clear the group’s two collaborators are appreciators of these sounds. For while this compact, concise group of recordings are created from a palette of instruments and not from field recordings so usually associated with ambient music, such is the dream like, slow motion quality of the sounds at work that one could easily forget they are listening to a record, as the notes seamlessly form part of their natural surroundings.

2. Svarte Greiner – Penpals Forever…

1. Antonymes – Beauty Becomes The Enemy Of The Future


Packages arrive through the post on a regular basis with regards to cd submissions for the Fluid playlists. This always excites me and sometimes I feel like the young child on Christmas morning eagerly waiting to find out what could possibly be inside…

This week however I had the luxury of opening a package that was ‘above the norm’ to say the least. Something that had so much attention to detail with regards to design, appearance, funcionality and of course, sound.

The package that I talk about is the upcoming…

1. Eleh – Location Momentum

Eleh has been an enigma since the first record under that name was released in 2006. In numbered editions with letterpressed sleeves, usually on Important Records from the U.S.A., these vinyl-only releases were evidently a labour of love and attention. Further recordings have been released on the labels Taiga and Touch, making 11 vinyl editions in all.

2. Aaron Martin – Worried About The Fire

It is an album that slowly lures you in. Starting with downright dark, hypnotic drones, “Albee” is an unnerving opening laced with subtle string sounds over a looping humming of…

Get set for another seriously cool line up of artist mix instalments on Fluid Radio for the month ahead…

I know I mention this each month, but for anyone new visiting the site all of the following mix dates will be broadcast on channel 1 at 7pm UK time zone.
