'What happens when you give electronic artists orchestral sounds to create a track? The Synphonica EP. The challenge was to use the BBC Symphonic Orchestra 'Discover' (by Spitfire Audio) to create a track, only using sounds from the pack without any other external sounds. 

We hope this album gives you a small moment of relaxation during this Christmas season, after the long year that 2020 has turned out to be.'

'It's been many a year since we've featured any tracks from Wolandroid (back at #289 with his album Bright Light Closed Eyes) but suddently he appeared in my inbox with a new album entitled Fractured Kingdom. Eight tracks of easy listening works, bouncy beats and melodies in a selection perhaps designed to cheer up the gloomy times we're living through at the moment. A fun album without a doubt.'

Kahvi #443: Wolandroid / Fractured Kingdom

'Some retro sounds from guest artist Nautilus this time around, tiny percussion sounds perhaps from drum machines from days gone by, interleaved with subtle leads and pads. Nuances of early 80s pop with good old modern day IDM. Refreshing.'

Kahvi #442: Nautilus / Nautilus

'Something refreshingly different this time. Slightly diverting away from the electronica of recent releases, new guest artist Dohnavur brings live percussion and beats, mixed with a diverse range of styles - acid, easy listening, spoken word, ambient. 

If you're familiar with the Kahvi back catalogue, you'll notice an echo to the The Alpha Conspiracy releases, way back in #53 and #158 with their live beats, hardcore tones and gritty texture.'

'A smaller four track ep from new artist epitomeZero now, some ambient works which could be seen as influenced by Tangerine Dream and perhaps some subtle caribbean flavours in moderation.

'Pandacetamol is turning into a regular feature on Kahvi in recent times, this time he's back with a twelve track album of minimal beats, dark factory atmospheres and a tasting of Autechre influences. 

Off key leads, glitchy, shifting direction constantly. Something to chillout to in the summer sun with an ice cold beer or two. 


Watch out for Pandacetamol's retro sound of choice - classic acid.'
