Donnie Mahlmeister - 2024 - Paper Glacier
Trouble In Mind – none
The 8 tracks on "Paper Glacier", the newest solo release from Chicagoan Donny Mahlmeister have a singular sonic imprint that imparts a warm hazy glow. While not fully without melodic and rhythmic propulsion, they feel like the audio equivalent of a Rothko abstraction; lines are blurred on the edges with subtly shifting phrases that jump in and out of phase.
There is a slight roughness around the edges, partially because the tracks were improvised live without overdubs or editing, but also due to the parameters of the instruments used; analog synthesizers and digital samplers that have a tendency to skew towards the noisier end of the spectrum. "Paper Glacier" shows Mahlmeister embracing more of the restraints of a lower noise floor and a lo-fi recording quality than he typically favors on other work.

Sarah Louise - 2020 - Earth and Its Contents
Not On Label – none 140.62 FLAC
Today, with so many in isolation and gripped with worry, I offer it as a balm: a re-connection to earth in the past, present and future.
As I know many are hurting financially right now, I offer it freely to those who can not afford it. For those who can, I am one of many who can use your support right now.
Thank you for listening. When we share common music, we share common space. When we gather, even if only across distances, love thrives.

RUTracker – FOR UR CONSIDERATION
R.A. The Rugged Man (Ryan A. Thorburn) (born January 10, 1974) is an American hip-hop MC from Suffolk County, Long Island. Known for his raw lyricism, technical skills, and controversial persona, he emerged in the 1990s underground rap scene, working with labels like Rawkus Records and collaborating with legends such as Notorious B.I.G., Masta Ace, and Kool G Rap.
Despite his talent, he faced industry setbacks, including a well-documented dispute with Rawkus Records, which shelved his album Night of the Bloody Apes. He later rebuilt his career independently, releasing acclaimed projects such as Die, Rugged Man, Die (2004), Legends Never Die (2013), and All My Heroes Are Dead (2020).
Since 2016, he has been based in Berlin, Germany, where he lives with his wife and their two children.
