This episode features three artists from the Mahorka netlabel: Encased in Amber, Virtually J, and V.

Encased in Amber’s album, Parallel Worlds, is a real treat! Beautiful timbres, excellent performances, and a great melodic sense.

Encased in Amber says about themselves:

The music of Encased in Amber tells it’s storiesthrough an intricate mesh of melodies and texture.Described as downtempo, ambient, and dreamy, Encasedin Amber puts forth the concept that each time a pieceof music is written it crystallizes what was felt andprocessed in that moment of time, like a fossil caughtin amber.

What I can say is that it’s a great premiere album, and the artist assures me that there’ll be another release later this year.

It’s only a half-hour long, so we’ve got some unapologetic techno from Virtually J’s Autocracy Mage and some cool-down tracks from V’s 23.56.04 to fill out the rest of the podcast.

As always, I’ve linked to the Bandcamp pages for these albums; they’re pay-what-you-like, so support the artists to whatever extent you can.

Enjoy!
