Featured Artist of the Week: Gigi Masin and new album “Movement.”

The album’s title has a double meaning; the first of which reflects on Masin’s place within the pantheon of ambient greats, his ongoing artistic ambitions, and his aspirations for a scene which he’s seen grow exponentially from humble beginnings. “Slow ambient isn’t for me anymore, so I strived to create a new form. The possibilities are endless, and I want to try and drive things forward,” he comments. “When I started making music, no one cared, but now the genre has become a big movement. I’m excited by what others do, and I want to learn from the young. We’re all part of something.”

Portraying the ocean in all its glistening, undulating, light-refracting majesty, Gigi captures perpetually shifting hues of green, blue, grey, and white. More than that though, he uses the ocean as a metaphor for the incomprehensible and changeable depths of human emotion. Evoking the dark and unknowable gargantuan abyss beneath the surface, an unplaceable ether often engulfs the listener, suspending them in strange primordial atmospheres that blend tenderness, melancholy, reverie, and unease all at once.

As someone whose work has been sampled by Björk, Post Malone and many others, Masin knows more about ‘The Age Of Sampling’ than most. A haunted, clanging rhythm underpins unknown voices from decades old radio, captured on tape in eternal hauntological purgatory.

Morphing and dynamic, the delightfully pleasant ‘Movement’ flows from booming electro drums into dusky deep house, all adorned with heavenly pads, disembodied vocals and soaring faux brass.

Born from a love of Japan, the gentle jazz piano of ‘UMI’ is a fond recollection of sitting on a beach marveling at the Pacific, whilst the bright beaming light of ‘Golden’ radiates warmth, sounding like the bossa nova brother of Göttsching’s Balearic classic ‘E2 E4’.

Delving further into off-centre beats is the celestial techno funk of ‘Deception Dance’, which sounds like Sun Electric jamming with Carl Craig and Kraftwerk, and was dubbed “dance music from another planet” by one of Gigi’s twin sons.

He now counts Oneohtrix Point Never, Devendra Banhart, Caroline Polachek, Joe Boyd, and the late Kenny Wheeler as fans, and has collaborated with artists including Ron Trent, Young Marco, Jonny Nash, Ben Vince, and Joseph Shabason. The latest in a slow starting but steadily building career, ‘Movement’ sees Masin continue to secure his seat at the table of true ambient legends.

Featured Artist of the Week: Greenhouse

Green-House is a project conceived by Olive Ardizoni, now officially a duo featuring long-time collaborator Michael Flanagan. With their third album ‘Hinterlands’ on new label home Ghostly International, the duo unveil a refined evolution of their sound, rooted in a fluid, genre-defying fusion of ambient, folk, synth pop, environmental music, IDM, and modern classical music.

Bringing to mind Haroumi Hosono’s ‘Pacific’ album, and drawing inspiration from the classic video game Final Fantasy, the contemporary folk of Jessica Pratt, the Hungarian animated film director Sándor Reisenbüchler & more, ‘Hinterlands’ is a work of utopian, freeform electronic music, underpinned by conceptions of vivid environmental sound, organic interconnection, and radical joy. In a moment defined by environmental catastrophe, political exhaustion, and cultural nihilism, ‘Hinterlands’ proposes that imagining better worlds is itself a form of agency.

 Since 2020, across a catalogue of acclaimed releases via the scene-creating Los Angeles imprint Leaving Records, Green-House have pursued a curiosity in environments, reaching for innate and faraway spaces by way of organic and synthetic instrumentation and high-definition sound design. The duo doesn’t fit neatly into any single category. Ardizoni and Flanagan aren’t aligned with New Age ideologies or spirituality, and the ambient tag feels increasingly limited given all that’s going on in their songs, which skew closer to the realms of IDM or even modern classical on their new album. What remains inherent is an open sense of wonder, “the idea of legitimizing certain emotions within music that often aren’t taken seriously in art, like happiness and joy,” says Ardizoni.

They welcome influences from all over; moments on ‘Hinterlands’ evoke hypnagogic folk, synth pop, film scores, library sounds, and other forms of paradisal world-building. The duo simply make the music they want to hear, earnestly dreaming of idyllic settings, their hope borne of necessity.

Featured Artist of the Week: Janus Rasmussen

Best known for his acclaimed work as one half of KIASMOS alongside Ólafur Arnalds, and with a catalogue that boasts years of collaboration and sonic exploration, Janus Rasmussen returns with Murk; a vivid, electrified new single that marks the beginning of an expansive new chapter. Alive with kinetic energy, Murk channels pressure and release with hypnotic precision, and a clear-eyed vision for the dancefloor. A skipping 4×4, almost UKG-esque beat underpins oscillating and jittering celestial frequencies, while sleek synth flourishes glide in and out of the sonic sphere. The tension coils and uncoils, staccato chords pulse beneath the surface, constantly threatening to spill over.

Hailing from the Faroe Islands and now based in Reykjavik, Rasmussen’s work spans minimal techno, ambient textures, and experimental electronics, each project revealing a deep sensitivity to mood, movement, and atmosphere. With Murk, he offers a potent distillation of those elements: a track where a tapestry of shapes and sounds meld into a singular feeling of forward movement and propulsion. A bold first step toward a new phase of his solo output, and one that promises to push further into rhythm, energy, and sonic depth.

Featured Artist of the Week – Bad Bad Joel

Released January 8 – Burning Building. Despite spending time as a DJ, dance music radio programmer, and becoming a professional audio engineer at 20, Joel never returned to creating music.

Until 2025.

In the year following his first releases, Bad Bad Joel surpassed 10,000 streams and earned airplay on Afterhours.FM and radio stations across Canada (Including Cosmik Repercussions :)). Inspired by Above & Beyond, Avicii, and Chris Lake, his sound blends heartfelt vocals with euphoric drops and a nostalgic yet modern edge. Bad Bad Joel is just getting started: honing his sound, recording collaborations, and sharing the human experience through electronic music for those who feel it deeply. He’s blasting into 2026 with an unlikely feature, joined by country-rock vocalist “Louise” on her very
first EDM project: “Burning Building”

Featured Album of the Week – Quantum Sound Project:

Released on a label known for championing experimental, boundary-pushing creators, Quantum Sound is one of the most innovative Houndstooth releases to date. Opening the vinyl edition is ‘Embodiment Breathing’, produced by Jon Hopkins — a 20-minute breathwork journey designed to shift attention from mind to body. Frustrated by the lightweight sound palette that dominates much breathwork music, Hopkins set out to create something heavier and more grounded — a slow, hypnotic techno piece that connects new-age practice and the club, two worlds that, in terms of consciousness expansion, he sees sharing far more common ground than is recognised. Flowing from this is a deep sound meditation designed for decompression and integration after the breathwork, built from extended drones and frequencies associated in research with calming, restorative physiological responses.

Additional contributions span ambient, and transcendental spaces, featuring Hannah Holland, Wata Igarashi, Manami, Jennifer Loveless and Ruthlss, along with Alessandro Cortini, whose ‘IV’ piece “seemed to stop time” at Mastery’s Quantum Sound show at Prospect in Bristol. A long-time but undisclosed collaborator, Silent Shadow, closes the album’s first half with its emotional peak. For full immersion, a bonus continuous 60-minute mix by Hannah Holland invites listeners to lie down, close their eyes and fully surrender to the Quantum Sound Journey.

The project grew from Mastery’s five-month Quantum Sound residency in fabric’s Room One, where Cherub Sanson and Tim Wheater performed live instrumental sound journeys that flowed into ambient electronic live sets by Hannah Holland, Wata Igarashi, Flora Yin Wong, Jennifer Loveless and founding Quantum Sound artist, Daniel Avery. The performances filled the room and its new body-kinetic dance floor with a unique blend of ancient and electronic sound, played to audiences lying down in complete stillness.
