Label: Affin Release: Conversion Date: October 3rd, 2025 Mastered By: Artefacts Mastering Artwork By: Markus Guentner guentnerspieth.bandcamp.com There are a few collaborations that work really well.

Angela Winter – Saturn, lightly

HC — Mon, 11 Aug 2025 04:30:13 +0000

Label: Past Inside The Present Release: Forbidden Questions In Space Date: August 27th, 2025 Mastered By: James Bernard Artwork By: zakè angelawinter.com | pastinsidethepresent.com I may not trust the intarwebs, but I will surely trust my label. When it comes to discovering new music (to pop me out of my echo chamber and insistent feedback loop), it’s easy to get lost among the new releases.

Good morning, friends, and welcome to another Sunday edition of OUT TODAY column, where I hand-pick some of my favourite releases in the last few months that may have slipped past your sonic radar. As usual, this is an eclectic, but very much curated selection of formats, genres, and journeys that you should certainly attempt to take, and see if your precious attention is worthy of these sounds.

And thus I’m open to all of the possibilities of the future, while staying grounded in the present for as long as I can. There will be chaos ahead – I am sure of that. And so I put on my headphones, and think “… bring it on“. Luckily for me, I have music to…
