Most of my good shit this year was all re-issues of older stuff, and I somehow skipped most of the club oriented material and got a lot of soundscape/ambient/mood type of business. Pregnant wife and new babies meant not a lot of time for being out...
I'll second the Vatican Shadow; for my money just about everything Dominick Fernow and the entire Hospital Productions label touch has been gold for me, if usually a bit // wrists 'im dark and moody every day all day drone noise' for some tastes. I'd strongly recommend any of his 'Rainforest Spiritual Enslavement' releases as well if you are more into the more soundscape side of things. Some of my favs this year: Deathprod - Treetop Drive (finally pressed) Vatican Shadow - Luxor Necropolitics Rainforest Spiritual Enslavement - bunch of reissues Sarah Davachi - All My Circles Run Akira Rabelais - Spellewauerynsherde Robert Aiki Aubrey Lowe - Levitation Praxis Pt 4 Midori Takada – Through The Looking Glass (Finally got repressed!) -Arturo BTW we are getting the mix site back into production mode so if anyone out there looking to work with us and share/make some mixes for new episodes drop me a line! http://www.art-and-artifice.com/
