Slowaxx is the solo project and live band created by Riccardo Chiarucci, a composer and producer who hails from the sunny climes of Tuscany. This week he releases ‘Shapes Interfusion’ on Broken District, a six-track blend of home studio production and live recorded sessions that incorporate lo-fi, hazy jazz, mind-warping electronica, with lashings of hip-hop

Greg Fenton reviews Rising Sun – The Eternal – Echocord The Eternal feels like a proudly apt title for this release. Sometimes you can’t explain everything so the allure of mystery only adds to the pleasure. I guess you could also say that Eternal 1 opening this full-length exploration of sight and sound is meditative

From the Razor-N-Tape mega-label, he started with Aaron Dae over a decade ago, to the Greenpoint Record Shop in its third year, from his remixes on a host of starry labels to his original compositions, his work as a live

Greg Fenton reviews Maya Shenfeld – Under the Sun – Thrill Jockey Records Time is of the essence. Or at least it certainly feels that way. Under the Sun embraces you with arms of comfort and yet ploughs dark undercurrents at risk of pulling you under. As demonstrated in the album opening A guide for
