Cleric‘s record label announces its 20th release with a monster new Clergy compilation titled, Clergy Visions 01. Out on March 13th, the new compilation features 23 various essential artists.
The label’s been dedicated to curating choice releases since 2014. And Clergy Visions 01 certainly stays on brand with works by heavyweights like Rebekah, Remco Beekwilder & Stranger, Roman Poncet, Setaoc Mass, and Slam.
Non-Print label head and producer GĆĂłs wants to create something outside of the conforming realm of Techno, and he showcases just that in this week’s Global Vibe Radio mix.
GĆĂłs has already reinvented his early work through his latest album, and his lucid yet on-point productions continue to reveal a rarefied character.
As the title suggests, the seventh album from UK producer Stumbleine titled Sink Into The Ether offers a deep submergence within a celestial upper region somewhere beyond the clouds. Thriving on the space in between things, Sink Into The Ether is chilled, heavenly and thought-provoking. Itâs another multi-faceted creation of glowing sonic vistas that are set to enrapture in 2020.
The album envelops the listener from the outset with the soft, pitched sway of âSonderâ. The track, which we are premiering exclusively today, ebbs through calming shadows, showcasing Stumbleineâs warm, electronic glow and gamut of influences, with hushed hypnotic delayed sounds, vocal samples and snappy beats.
Intimate Silence return this August with an album from Vault Series founder Subjected featuring eight ambient cuts entitled âOpera Scenesâ, from which ourselves premiered the brilliant “Opera Scene VII (The Origin of Life)”.
Subjected has been an important figure within Berlinâs techno community in the last ten years with his Vault Series and Subjected System imprints playing host to some of the genres most exciting names. His recent releases on ARTS, Stoor, Vault Series and self-titled label showcases his vast exploration into the realms of ambient soundscapes and atmospheric techno with a hint of post-industrial influence. âOpera Scenesâ sees Subjected serve up his third LP to date joining Silent-Oneâs Intimate Silence label following the likes of GĆoÌs, Thomas Hessler, KAS:ST, PVNV, Dold and PaÌr Grindvik.
We recently asked Subjected to share 10 of his key ambient selections with us, and to explain the reasoning behind each of his choice.
One of the most beautiful tracks in the world. BOC 4 EVER!
Alessandro Cortini is one of my heroes since day one. HeÂŽs the influence why I produced PICTURES FROM THE AFTERMATH. This collaboration with synth guru Don Buchla is a true masterpiece.
The first track, which I produced for the opus. The initial point of no return. At this point I realized that I have to do a whole LP and PICTURES FROM THE AFTERMATH was born.
The neoklassik / post minimalism is strongly connected to me with ambient and other electronica. What Max Richter is doing is the best example. Goosebumps.
No more words to say.
OÂŽHalloran shows us how a piano has to sound. Neoklassik, ambient, post minimalism? We donÂŽt know.
This one I produced with techno mastermind Speedy J. One SH-101 sequenced a Prophet 5, one wogglebugged modular systems, some field recordings of a dutch kindergarten and Speedy J + Subjected on the knobs. ThatÂŽs it.
A very popular and successful EDM artist, who claims for itself, that he has no musical theory skills, but his ambient and piano tracks are out from this world. HereÂŽs one example:
MASTERPIECE
Last but not least. AFX can still do some ambient / piano tracks. This one is wonderful.

If you gaze far into the universe, the universe gazes back into you. Fleeing time and space in search of the contrast between artificial and natural aesthetics. Resonating sound waves collide with vocalised human expression, tearing out fragments of bygone memories. After his debut album, Skyence returns to Modularfield with more emerging atmospheres in perfect symbiosis with his cinematic soundscapes. All combined under the constant observation of the âcompanionâ.
An Iceberg is a large mass of ice detached from a glacier or from a floating platform of glaciers that drift in the sea. It  is in constant motion and most of its mass remains submerged under surface of the water. The goal of this new Iceberg series of releases on Glacial Movements is to describe through techno / dub music this huge mass of ice.
Himuro is the debut album of ambient duo Eraldo Bernocchi and Netherworld. Composed and produced in two years of exchanging material and sound inputs coming both from electronic treated guitars and organic sources.  The album lies its foundation on ambient, dub, space and distance.

The young producer is currently signed to Germany’s respected Ostgut Ton team. Read more
Weâve all had this momentâŠYou attend one of those club nights where the music and rhythm conquer all, and by the time the morning comes all you really want to do is sit, relax, and watch the sunrise somewhere. Sure there may be an after party going down somewhere but thatâs not in the cards for you. But just because youâre not keeping the party going doesnât mean you donât want to have a peaceful soundtrack to your morning.
Hereâs a collection with some of our favorite chill-out, ambient, and post-party tracks to enjoy after a proper night of raving.
Ostgut Ton is the record label associated with the famed Berghain in Berlin. Like any record label, Ostgut Ton adheres to a very distinctive and recognizable style of music that gives the label and brand itâs unique identity. While the label has released massive and pulsating techno over the years from the likes of Terence Fixmer, Marcel Dettman, Nick Höppner, Norman Nodge, and moreâŠthere is a peaceful side to Ostgut Ton too.
On Panorama Bar 06 we enter the contemplative moments that may be experienced in the famed techno Mecca. Newworldaquarium delivers Thousand Oaks, a completely beat-less ambient piece that captures so many emotions. Ambient pads and spacey textures leave one feeling as if youâre suspended in a stasis. As the sun starts to rise and you look back on the evening, let Thousand Oaks be the soundtrack to your thoughts.
Slamâs 2014 album, Reverse Proceed, is the pinnacle of a proper electronica/techno release. From the opening track of Tokyo Subway the album keeps layering itself into multifaceted dimensions of ambient electronica and techno. Weaving through ambient bliss in the form of tracks like Visual Capture and Reverse Proceed, the album proceeds to take things to a more danceable realm with tracks like Pattern A3 and Factory Music. The first few tracks truly capture the morning atmosphere after the party, and overall Reverse Proceed is a fantastic electronic album.
If mainroom vibes are what youâre after you might want to check out some of the remixes of Factory Music.
Manchester based artist, Claro Intelecto, is a magician when it comes to procuring hypnotic electronic music with a little bit of a kick. On his album Warehouse Session we see Claro Intelecto take things in many directions. One of which being his low slung tripped out take on the original track Momento. While itâs not a beat-less ambient track by any means, it has all the elements of an early morning after hour burner. A deep kick and rumbling bassline lays at the foundation, as a FM treated lead pulls you deeper and deeper into the afterhour. Itâs distant, provocative, and done with class that only few artists can pull off.
Italian artist, Donato Dozzy, is the definition of a sonic craftsman. Heâs a deep techno specialist capable of delivering intricate compositions as well as techno best suited for the main room of a club night. Aqua 2 is one of the tracks coming from his album, The Aquaplano Sessions, and it does not disappoint. The entire album is fantastic, with Aqua 2 being one of our favorites.
We first found out about TM404 through his set in the MIND Room at Richie Hawtinâs ENTER Party in Ibiza. While it does have ambient moments, it is by no means an ambient set. He caught our attention with his precise control and programming of instruments like the 303 and 909 drum machines, amongst many others., and that inclined us to look further into the catalog of Andreas Tilliander. From the tracks on his Soundcloud we were drawn into the deep textures of Time Track, a heady electronic piece from his Mokira alias.
Black Light is dub techno at itâs finest. Right as the track starts the audio spectrum is filled with white noise and quintessential dubbed out chords that give the track a sense of peaceful tension. The chords obviously carry the track, but like most dub techno one must hone in on the sonic subtleties that all contribute to curating the cohesive vibe.
 Romania is no stranger to long parties and beautiful mornings. With a full low end and floating percs, Talking Waters locks you in to an entrancing rhythm that is the perfect way to wind down from a long night. Throughout the 14 minute journey of the track, Petre Inspirescu include the beautiful sounds of a steel drum that gives Talking Water that extra bit of flare making this an essential addition to the post-party playlist.
