As a long time subscriber to Soma.fm, I often tune into n5md's channel and have it on in the background. Here's my favourite ambient tracks from the label in my own mix.
Spectral — Gespenster (German for "ghosts"), Spettro V (Italian for "spectre"), Departed, Exterminating Angel - half the titles here are explicitly about ghosts, spirits, or things departing, and all lean into a haunted, industrial-tinged mood rather than pretty or drifting.
Heavier on the drone/modular side this time - Sarah Davachi, Ciani & Fitoussi, Alva Noto, Nils Frahm. This one's built on chopped regions, including artists who work in fine-grained, slowly-mutating tones rather than big sustained pads. A lot of the mixing here is chopped rather than just blended, even though the overall pace and mood is ambient.
