Very minimal techhouse of the sort that does not seem very interesting when listening closely, but which works well in the background and does stick to you. It has a very dry sound which does not work in all tracks, but which does work nicely in some places.

Some very hard house for the lovers. Personally, yes, I definitely dig this type of house music. Dark, hard, with an aggresive mood.

This release is far more original than a lot of thinner releases, however I still rate it 3/5. Why? The release itself is a lot of the same. It is nice to have good vocals, it is nice to have good music, but if 8 tracks totalling nearly 35 minutes all sound alike, it just […]
Sometimes minimal, and mostly organic. That’s the best description for this release. There’s no outstanding work on this release, but it’s all definitely not bad either. It is just unfortunate that the music by Muhr could’ve been the music by quite a few other artists.

A DJ that puts up a demo mix for the world to hear. There’s tons out there and most are so-so, or even outright bad. Peter Presto did it slightly better. His mix is very good, an hour of great house music. No commercial stuff, yet still very accessible. Nice dancefloor material.

More tech-house/minimal on a netlabel, but this one at least stands out above the rest a bit. It has feeling and drive, and stays interesting. Three great tracks for dancing or chilling.

Beautiful dreamy ambient. This is one to keep. Lots of details, beautiful ambiences, simply amazing. Get it!
(”fern - this first day (Autoplate)”)
A more than interesting release by an artist I had not heard of before. A combination of ambient, minimal and electronica in a very organic way. Beautiful, detailed, soothing. Amazing stuff.

This is a great one for lovers of drum ‘n’ bass. An hour-long mix of massive drum ‘n’ bass, of which the artists on the playlist only one or two sound familiar. The music is great though, wonderful for getting hyper while working (coding in my case).

For some reason, I associate a word like ‘jilted’ with darkness and harshness. The finnish pop sensation, however, is definitely not that. Quite the opposite. It’s a nice poppy electronica though, cheesy at times (vocoder vocals, anyone?) but still a nice listen.
