I was into a lot of the material coming out of Berlin for like a month. Ever here of JUNE?
LIGHTEN UP SOUNDS -> One of the few tape labels that I still am on the mailing list for. I've purchased (imo) some very cool niche things from them. The releases that came in on an E-mail blast recently seem to be aligned with noisy beats and harsher synth punk, both of which I enjoy. I'll be exploring these sounds soon.

There's tons of acid in this thread! It's all me though. Kinda stopped updating for lack of effort HOWEVER at the very least it serves as a reminder of what I've bought and when so I'll do a mega update here.
Also will check out Lighten Up Sounds - always good to hear of tape labels that aren't bandcamp centric.
AMBIENT/EASY LISTENING ELECTRONIC:
Jogging House - 'From' - I mostly like this stuff but sometimes it really irks me, like being stuck on a sky tv menu screen.
https://seilrecords.bandcamp.com/album/fromr beny - cascade symmetry / full blossom of the evening / saudade
Took a minute to get into this, but I like it in a similar way to Hainbach, has that kind of blissfully painful thing going on. Awkward/beautiful etc.

https://hainbach.bandcamp.com/album/bruderkriegNathan Moody - Études III: Red Box - I liked this a lot better than the white box one, I became obsessed with verbos/buchla just before this came out so it's a nice release that caters to that, more droney, slow rhythmic things going on rather than the crazy fast buchla bongo school of things.
https://nathanmoody.bandcamp.com/album/ ... ii-red-boxSean Julian - Sounds of the Birch Forest - Buchla music easel and field recordings. Very nice, a bit more of a 'journey' than I was expecting and more field recording based that I was expecting either, pleasantly surprised.
https://tiep.bandcamp.com/album/sounds- ... rch-forestAlessandro Cortini - Avanti - He's basically very good at the incredibly repetitive slowly evolving Buchla thing right? Tape itself sounds very nice - it's a Pias factory thing (no idea who they actually use to make their tapes) but the quality is definitely a notch above the norm in terms of depth of sound.
