Steve Hadfield – Middle Distance (Spotify)
Choral ambience to close out the Displacement Activity EP. Described in the review by At The Barrier: "Concluding the EP is the epic Middle Distance, which returns us to an ecclesiastic setting, taking the organic beauty in a choral harmony and crushing it with feedback well before our love can be soured. A ghost of the choral resonance remains to see out the piece and the record."
tEEonE – 30kilo (Spotify)
First track from album “Inceptio”. It starts of in a very dystopian mood that gradually changes through the track, and a very radical change happens little over the halfway marker that brightens up everything. Still, things are not completely resolved which is a theme throughout the album. The track is mostly played by hand using analog synths and analog drum machines.
Belorusia – Non Era (Spotify)
Non Era' is the debut album from Scottish ambient producer Belorusia. The title track rounds off the album in grand fashion concluding a journey through hazy, distorted and desolate landscapes as it fades off in to the distance.
BPMoore – Galvanised (Spotify)
BPMoore’s Galvanised is an ambient/electronic instrumental piece that unfolds from a suspenseful drone and pulsing synths into sparkling piano lines, lively drums, and melodic string parts. Soft felted piano riffs shimmer a stirring and hopeful introduction, before a spirited drum groove creates an energetic foundation for the subsequent evolving layers of string and synth parts. The piece is extremely compelling both melodically and texturally, and is quite unlike much of the popular ambient music today that focuses solely on subtle shifts. While the music retains a similar sense of nuance and ebb-and- flow, the composition itself is quite intricate, somehow achieving the perfect balance of ambient and interest.
Galvanised is the “part two” to London-based Ben Moore’s most recent single, From All Who Came Before, the title track on his upcoming album Komorebi. The two have been mixed so that there is no discernible break from one song to the next, and Galvanised brings a sense of completion to the delicate and expectant atmosphere set by the first. In Ben’s own words,
“Galvanised is feeling that moment of anticipation and the release that (finally) everything has just locked into place for the positive.”

Nagamag:
Few words about your musical background and career?
Daytuner (Moai System):
As a music producer, from classical background (15 years of violin and music school) to electronic music for more than 30 years, I feel so grateful because that gave me great opportunities to meet, learn and work with amazing artists from all around the world. I recently decided to get FULLY involved in the music industry and my band (Moai System) already released several Eps and singles with different indie labels including Nutek Chill since December 2017. I'm also the manager of a webradio (Pranamusic Radio) specialized in promoting electronic music for 2 years.
Nagamag:
Do you remember your first connection of love to music that was the right impact to be a music artist now?
Daytuner (Moai System):
I was 6 years old, and I was watching a concert of Yehudi Menuhin playing a concerto of Brahms for violin. The sound mesmerized me totally, and from this moment I knew my fate was emotionnaly linked to music.
Nagamag:
What attracts you in the electronic music production ?
Daytuner (Moai System):
The alchemy of sound and composition. Pushing the frontiers of imagination, while working with evocative sounds and mixing harmonies.
Nagamag:
Philosophical question : According to your experience, what is the "essence" of creativity in music terms ?
Daytuner (Moai System):
Difficult question, but I would say that a music composer and an artist in general has this skill (gift) which makes him/her able to receive (consciously or not) these higher vibes and to interpret or translate them with emotions linked to his/her personal history in that world.
Nagamag:
Most artists have a favorite song from a different music genre than the one they are producing music for... Which is yours?
Daytuner (Moai System):
Club Des Belugas "Save A Little Love For Me"
Nagamag:
Of Course Nagamag would love to listen also which track from a similar artist you admire?
Daytuner (Moai System):
Hinkstep "I Guess My Heart Got Carried Away"
Stephen Caulfield – Everything Is Remembered (Spotify)
Everything Is Remembered is an ambient instrumental track that uses a vintage Omnichord, lo-fi drum loops, and pitch and time warping techniques create a dreamy atmosphere. Stephen Caulfield speaks about this music: I find watching the waves wash on and off the black sand beach very hypnotic and you can easily get lost in your thoughts and memories - which suits this song very well. The instrumentation on this song is essentially a love letter to one of my all time favourite instruments, the Suzuki Omnichord OM-84. I’ve recorded it live and sequenced, as well as sampling it and doing all sorts of audio mangling.
v e n n, Andy Feldman – over (prelude) (Spotify)
Over (prelude), is an ambient soundscape featuring an emotive piano melody. This track is a reflection on how all things eventually come to an end. Thanks for listening, hope you enjoy. Andy is a pianist/multi-instrumentalist from New Jersey that focuses on the modern piano, relaxing piano, and jazz piano. In addition to currently playing and gigging with the Asbury Park based jam band, Secret Sound, he writes and records music varying from cinematic instrumental music, to piano improvisations and indie pop/rock. With his bands, he has opened for acts such as Umphrey's McGee, Rusted Root, and Dark Star Orchestra and continues to build a following through their energetic, live performances.
His piano music often focuses on the past, or the future - the sort of longing feeling you get when searching for something more, or quietly remembering a past event. Ear To The Ground had this to say about Andy's latest release: "It’s got a dash of jazz, a pinch of the blues, and a serenity that I find hard to find in music these days. There’s a real subtlety in the way the chords roll together. If there was such a thing as an Americana and neoclassical mashup, that’s Andy Feldman’s writing."
Wide Waters – Thicket (Spotify)
Ambient soundscape that takes the listener on a journey of self-exploration and meditation.
