Review: The Kilimanjaro Darkjazz Ensemble – Live – I Forsee the Dark Ahead, If I Stay

January 28, 2012

The Kilimanjaro Darkjazz Ensemble is a Dutch act, co-founded by the same man who’s also behind Bong-Ra, which can simply be named a relentless fury. TKDE on the other hand creates a different sound. The outfit is commonly described as a composer for non-existant movies and can easily build up a full atmosphere whether you’re listening to them live […]

The first time I pressed play on a release by Exoplanet I found myself caught in a dark and vibrant atmosphere. The record in question is his latest work: Synthetic Evolution. With 5 tracks spanning over nearly 40 minutes, you soon realize this is no ordinary journey. Although Exoplanet is known as a producer of house, […]

Just think of his older work like Cold Light or Heat High, both had a more minimalistic approach. Nevertheless the sound does have similairities with last […]

Ever since Autoclav1.1 made the switch to Tympanik Audio it had become a label to keep watching. In its early years it had a continuous stream of artists providing great releases. However throughout the years, it proved a challenge to win me over. I was either spoilt by the some of the artists (Autoclav1.1, Stendeck and Totakeke) or my taste evolved, […]

Best of 2011

As the year of 2011 has come to an end, I’m sending it off with 10 proper releases I thoroughly enjoyed. There isn’t much of a ranking, but Stendeck and Swarms stood out most to me as they both fit well with the nightly hours. Zomby – Dedication It was unanimous over at Eclectro, but Zomby interested […]
