Charlie May / Trusted Farms (ASIPV058) (opens the original)
Read excerpt
After decades contributing to records where a single riff could transform a dancefloor, Charlie May turns that instinct inward on Trusted Farms. For over thirty years, Charlie has occupied a position that seems increasingly rare in electronic music: the musician’s musician, the person behind the machines, the extra pair of hands in the studio, and quite often, the person responsible for the melody you end up carrying around in your head for weeks on end.

Noodle Therapy / The Dip (Video) (opens the original)
Read excerpt
It’s been lovely seeing Noodle Therapy’s Field Notes find a way into people’s listening habits since its release in June.

Read excerpt
Enter the Magnetic Heliosphere. Mikkel Rev returns to A Strangely Isolated Place with Evocation , his third full-length album shaped deep within the forests of Norway. Since Mikkel’s debut, The Art of Levitation first arrived in 2023, Mikkel has been quietly building his own corner of the ASIP catalogue.
