Genre: Electronic, Experimental

This release is by a local artist. Visit this page for more information.

Particle Blue is a Maltese experimental electronic band. This album, available on the Pinkpube netlabel, is called Dubbien, which is Maltese for “flies” as in the insect. This album was apparently also the official soundtrack to a performance at St. James Cavalier in 2005.

The music itself is excellent electronic music, sometimes bordering on electro, and other times bordering on ambient, but one thing is for sure: it is experimental. The recurring theme of flies appears throughout the EP, with fly-like sounds making an appearance in songs such as Il-Firroll. Other tracks, such as Inevitabbli, showcase the experimental sounds of Particle Blue, as it crescendos into noise at the end of the track.

Aptly named vocaltronica, That Crooner From Nowhere is Al Da Tosta’s solo vocal project. Every sound made on this album comes from Tosta’s mouth, or so it seems.

It seems that on This is Vocaltronica!, Tosta dabbles in different styles, from soundscapes, to funk. An innovative project, I expect to see more of Tosta’s work in the future.

Tracks of note include Donamiao’s Funky Panda, Happiness in Hell and Fun Fat Fun.

Genre: Hip Hop, Experimental

Son of a Bricklayer is a Copenhagen-based hip hop producer with a difference. For one thing, his music is instrumental. That’s right, no lyrics and no rapping. Another difference is the fact that it is rather dark as far as hip hop goes.

Sounding almost jazzy at times, most of the tracks sound bleak and dark, but relaxing also. As a consequence, the album artwork is also dark and dirty, you get the idea.

Tracks of note include Litarefni, Bloom, Off and La Chambre.

Genre: Ambient, Experimental

Joe Frawley has released a few other albums before, but only this one is totally free. His music is a combination of original piano music, recordings of sounds around him and electronic processing. This effect gives his work an almost ethereal feel, bordering between real and not real, constantly changing.

His album, like most ambient, should be listened to in one go, so I cannot pin point tracks of note. It has an overall calming effect and should be an addition to your music library.

Danjeli, who is in my opinion, Malta’s finest electronic musician, has released his latest album via the netlabel Pinkpube. It is a release of raw electronic music with influences of Maltese folk. Tracks of note include Il-Festa tar-Raħal and Iż-Żufjett.
