Great Sunday afternoon music. Thoroughly enjoying this, esp. track 4 … gonna burn this to disc so I can give it the attention it deserves in the car.

Thanks for the DL!

This is awesome. The percussion sounds great.

Only a track in, but the first thought I had was that the beginning reminded me of the most recent Jon Hopkins album.

I’m gonna give this some spins and get back to you

Things without names, one of my secret personal faves. swoosh

Jon Hopkins has golden ears! I’ll have to check out JH new album, which somehow I didn’t know about? How did that happen? Oh well, it’s not as if Stimming came out with a new album and I hadn’t heard about… it… HEY wait a minute… thanks for the listen

Very nice!

Just bought (no free code for me) as you deserve it for your work. Was actually following you on SC and always been fascinated by the bouncy, textured beats your were making.

Nice work, will have a complete listen home later.

Dude, thanks!! I hope you like it, really.

What’s up with battle 5? that track is so good!

Brilliant! Just played this on my train ride back from Yokohama. Perfect sounds for whizzing through the sprawl of Tokyo. I really love the builds, and breakdowns, the jazzy chords and the lovely high frequency touches. Excellent, excellent work!

LordAlister · 2014-03-18T23:15:03.000Z

Dreamy, introspective, clean, silky flow, minimal. You did a hell of a job! Thanks for DL , already have a cozy place set aside for it in my ears.

After checking him out I see it is some organic stuff! totally loving all that found/field recordings- is that an OT in the song solitude? it has got to be!

anyway, I have been working on a more experimental album and I am glad to have found this to help inspire some ideas- thanks!

clarknova · 2014-03-22T10:54:04.000Z

yeah, ametsub is a hidden gem. i usually lean towards more experimental stuff myself. excited to listen to more of your stuff in the future.

ametsub is blowing my mind over here, thanks for the tip man.

dubathonic · 2014-03-23T14:39:58.000Z

BTW I’ve been listening to this steadily all week long. Really topnotch compositions brother, I’ll have my eye out for your releases from now on.

OSCar · 2014-03-23T19:40:28.000Z

Great stuff man - wouldn’t pigeonhole it as sounding like one person.
reminds of the best elements of Trentmoller, Oval, Telefon Tel Aviv, Carl Craig and a few others rolled into one.
Beautifully restrained and funky as all hell in parts also.
Wonderful

PS: Track four is pure eargasm - love, love love it
PPS: Following you on Soundcloud now and have shared the playlist on twitter.

Sounds like _____?

Metamatics, Norken, not completely the same but lots of similarities.
Great reference in my book !

Juniper is one of my secret favorites. I really like the 6/4… The song started with an experiment in alternative time signatures, and 6/4 really stuck out for me- the extra beats lets the phrase just breathe in just such a relaxed way- and I saw your shares, and returned the favor! tyvm

!!! I will check these artists out, these are completely unknown to me. Thanks for listening, and sharing these artists, half the battle is finding inspiration, I’d say.
