Kahvi#274: Moodix / Moodiplication

Subtle, electronic easy listening with a hint of glitch and underground is how I would define this release from Moodix.

I don't know what it is about Bulgaria, but there seems to be a lot of great musicians (ESEM, DiE, Polygon Ring) appearing from that far off corner …

Kahvi#273: Polaski / Bendii Syndrome

After some successful releases of mix on Kahvi, Polaski has followed similar DJs in turning his attentions to the creation of his own original music. What follows is his first four track ep, heavily influenced by Boards of Canada (check Loss of Grandios) and …

Kahvi#272: Yard / Swaggle Dub

Its been a while since the last release from Yard. Last time we got a treat in the form of some classic styled retro techno - kind of like the missing link between early 90's techno and modern IDM. And this time we have more of the same classic styling.

This four …

Kahvi#271: Reii / Drafts

After his first successful release on Kahvi back at #246, Reii returns with a different mood (and style), different pace and different style entirely.

I guess the best way of describing 'Drafts' is 'epic ambient'. Subtle moods and blending sounds throughout this …

Kahvi#270: Kilowatts / Six Silicates

Kilowatts is back - after his highly successfull track featured on Robot Dreams, Kilowatts returns to Kahvi with a six track ep entitled 'six silicates'.

After the pure ambiance of casimirs blake, Six Silicates turns the mood with beat driven electronica/techno, …

Kahvi#269: Casimir Corona / Casimirs Blake

This time around we welcome a new face to the fold - Casimirs Blake.

Those of you familiar with MigloJE's ambient release 'Ayesteeyah' back at #174 may hear some similarities with this ambient extravaganza from Blake.

With a slight difference - we get the lush …

Kahvi#268: Stud / Swordcore

Stud makes a return to Kahvi in the shape of 'Swordcore'. A curious name for what turns out to be a distinctly non-curious release by Stud. A different Stud is apparent from the previous strange-but-great releases previously featured on Kahvi.

Perhaps this is due to …

Kahvi#267: Das Kraftfuttermischwerk / Im Garten der Schneekugel

I first ran into these guys while listening to spacemusic podcast - the style of the track was instantly addictive. After contacting them they kindly agreed to come up with a release for Kahvi Collective, and here is the result!

Im Garten der Scheekugel (In the …

Kahvi#266: Aleksi Eeban / Space Age Cherokee

At last, another release is due! and what better to take us out of the chillout zone than a release from Kahvi (almost) regular Aleksi Eeben.

this time around, six tracks of crossover from techno-electronica to acid-jazz-laced chill. Two tracks stand out for me, the …

Kahvi#265: Ambientium / Fractal Philosophy

Epic is the word that springs to mind when you listen to this masterpiece from ambientium.

hailing from the czech republic, ambientium is a talented duo who asked if kahvi would like to put out their latest album, fractal philosophy.

so, here is the end result in …

Kahvi#264: Lackluster / Live at Oblivion

Its time for the first release of 2009 - after the superb Solar Fields ep, we've got a Kahvi regular. Lackluster is a familiar name to many Kahvi followers, and after the success of his live set at the Netaudio Festival London 2008 (a Lackluster set is something to …

Kahvi#263: Solar Fields / Cocoon Moon

Finally its here and its something just a little bit special. Kahvi is proud to present the one and only Magnus Birgersson (otherwise known as Solar Fields). To coincide with the release of Mirrors Edge on a console near you which Magnus created the soundtrack for, …

Kahvi#262: Coax / The Ice Garden

Over the past few years its become a tradition to feature Coax and his piano or orchestral works. And this year is no different!

This time around we have 15 delectable tracks of pomp and splendour, orchestral (with perhaps some electronic ambient influence) wonders …

Kahvi#261: Attic Moth / Fractal Works

Continuing the Christmas releases for 2008 is a guest release with a difference - as the artist, Attic Moth, says in his bio, he uses "Algorithmic composition, serial, stochastic and aleatoric techniques" to create textured or "fractal works".

Curious, interesting …

Kahvi#260: Workbench / Infinite Lives

The second of the Christmas lineup for this year is a familiar name to many - Workbench.

Kahvi#257: Weldroid / Stranglehold

After the excitement of the netaudio festival we're going to slow down things a bit with a release from guest artist 'Weldroid'.

9 tracks of elektro inspired works - hints of alpha conspiracy in jack and the fairy, chilled out beats in carousel and my personal …

Kahvi #256: Younnat / Radiovision

Changing pace on Kahvi this time, a more chilled funky release from Ukrainian artist Younnat.

With elements of Roykskopp and even 70's disco, this six track ep is a refreshing change in the huge, warm, analogue bubblebath of other releases previously featured within …

Kahvi #255: Meso / Island vs City

This time around its a warm welcome back to meso. after his highly acclaimed release "tunga" back at #242, I asked him if he would like to release another ep on kahvi and here is the response.
