Idyllic Music Podcast 148

Trip Hop - Downtempo - Electronica

Hypnotic Electronica

This week, we'll look at five artists making deeply layered dense and Hypnotic Electronica. In the early part of the decade Minimalism, glitch and even chiptunes were a reaction to what became a pretty predictable set of recordings featuring 4 chord progressions and pedestrian beats.

Now finding a new mix of drama and subtlety are Ed Drury, Melorman, Northcape, Bitbasic and Wordless Poem. I'm Jim Nye.

We'll begin in Oregon with multi-instrumentalist and Didgeridoo master Ed Drury. This is 'Jawidge"

Find a massive selection of his work at www.eddrury.com From Athens, Melorman creates melodies with granular ambience and chilled beats. This is the lush 'You Are'

Hear more from Melorman at www.archaichorizon.com Here is another Brighton's Northcape from his 'Some Bright Valley' release it's 'A Part of The Forest

' Look for much more at www.northcapemusic.co.uk This is Bitbasic feeling 'Blueish'
