'A fantastic ambient soundscape through the mind of Alan Turing'
'A remix compilation featuring Mikael Fyrek and Weldroid, 4T Thieves, Mitoma, Keiss and Abdicant. Subtle IDM beats with warm analogue quality with HRYM, to ambient textures and melodies from Abdicant.'
'Some very interesting electronica from new guest artist 'Escher Adams' making use of what sounds like random analogue sounds to great effect in Panorama of a busy city at night to the analogue ambience of Polysim. An interesting, and diverse introduction to the world of Escher Adams.'
'It's time for the 2021 various artists compilation. 23 tracks showcasing the best of unsigned artists submissions, along with some recognizable names from the Kahvi archives.'
'A trip to the stars with this ambient release by guest artist John Louis Kluck'
'Daniel Blomqvist returns to Kahvi this time around. The second of two albums to be featured from Daniel this year, Inwards is a more ambient album than his previous release 'A Comfort of Stars' combining pure ambient passages with almost familiar electronic sounds from the past couple of decades.'
'Recently we set a challenge for a small hand picked selection of Kahvi artists, along with a couple of special guests. The challenge? Create a track using only one synth. This album is the result. A hugely diverse selection of electronic masterpieces from 11 artists, giving you some idea of the huge talent these artists have and the knowledge of their tools of choice. Information about the synths used can be found on the bandcamp page: https://kahvicollective.bandcamp.com/album/one-synth-ii'
'For Netlabel Day 2021, we've got a special release this time from the legendary Lackluster. A long time member of the collective, it's been a long time since we've seen any musical works on Kahvi. Remixes of Lacklusters tracks Dooba and Clinique by a few of his friends.'
'An ambient album with a mixture of talents this time around, with Curious Inversions making a comeback, Abdicant appearing for the first time, and several Kahvi regulars appearing as guest remixers. Alt Folorn turns into dark vibes and subtle beats by 4T Thieves, Sleeping Wolves gets the remix treatment by Substan, a new artist to Kahvi, and Twin Hearts and Sleeping Wolves remixes appear by Kahvi regulars NNYz_ and Jasinski.'
'A smaller four track ep from new artist epitomeZero now, some ambient works which could be seen as influenced by Tangerine Dream and perhaps some subtle caribbean flavours in moderation. epitomeZero gives us a small introduction EP 'Shortforms EP' taken from the album 'Lightforms 2.0' which you can find on his bandcamp page: epitomezero.bandcamp.com/album/lightforms-20'
'Pandacetamol is turning into a regular feature on Kahvi in recent times, this time he's back with a twelve track album of minimal beats, dark factory atmospheres and a tasting of Autechre influences. Off key leads, glitchy, shifting direction constantly. Something to chillout to in the summer sun with an ice cold beer or two. Watch out for Pandacetamol's retro sound of choice - classic acid.'
'Another challenge for the Kahvi artists this release. We approached LP24 Audio (sound and sample creators extraordinnaire) at lp24audio.com to put together a special edition sound pack, which in turn we would create tracks from in their entirety. This six track EP features tracks from 4T Thieves, Aaron Jasinski, Audio Cephlon, Curious Inversions, Aeon Cub (Vizion) remixing Lackluster and The Last Little Bit. Great work from all involved!'
'Glorious lo-fi glitchy beats in this four track EP from guest artist Synkretic. Reminiscences of class acts such as Autechre, Arovane, Esem and Boards of Canada in a collaboration of sound'
'Originally created by 4T Thieves, the lo-fi and atmospheric 'Liminal Space' album was critically recieved in December 2020. After asking some guest remixers to choose their favourite tracks to remix, this album was created as a result'
'The Electric Home is dedicated to LaGrande, USA which as far back as 1912, had homes using electric powered heating and lighting. After the success of our previous co-op releases, here is the latest work from both 4T Thieves and Pandacetamol. Tracks and credits: Produced by 4T Thieves: Cellotron Surprise, Equinoxious, Polished Metal, The Edison Complex, Waterfall.

'A short but sweet EP from Abdicant called 'Cortical', subtley detailed with influences of classic IDM yet with elements of ambient cascading throughout.'
'A new guest artist on Kahvi this time, in the shape of ambient electronic artist Daniel Blomqvist. The first of two albums to be featured from Daniel this year, The Comfort of Stars is a mixture of classic ethnic sounds from a variety of locations, combined with almost familar electronic sounds from the past couple of decades.'
'The Kahvi Christmas VA is here! 31 tracks of the best of unsigned (and some familiar artists) collected during 2020. Merry Christmas and here's to a better 2021.'
'What happens when you give electronic artists orchestral sounds to create a track? The Synphonica EP. The challenge was to use the BBC Symphonic Orchestra 'Discover' (by Spitfire Audio) to create a track, only using sounds from the pack without any other external sounds. We hope this album gives you a small moment of relaxation during this Christmas season, after the long year that 2020 has turned out to be.'
'Take a funky ride is the result of one of our in house 'challenges' The challenge: Pick up to five 70's funk tracks at random Cut the tracks into pieces Creating new instruments out of those pieces Create a brand new track from those instruments List of features tracks is in the zip file Easy? We'll leave you to listen to the results. New artist Talotres makes a first appearance in this release with his track 'Pick it up''
'It's been many a year since we've featured any tracks from Wolandroid (back at #289 with his album Bright Light Closed Eyes) but suddently he appeared in my inbox with a new album entitled Fractured Kingdom. Eight tracks of easy listening works, bouncy beats and melodies in a selection perhaps designed to cheer up the gloomy times we're living through at the moment. A fun album without a doubt.'
'Brioskj has been appearing on Kahvi for many years, usually a track here or there on the annual VA, but this time, due to having plenty of time on his hands due to the current situation, an entire EP arrived in the Kahvi mailbox. Cheerful, bouncy, and perhaps the beginning of summer, 'When new feelings come' is a delightful, easy to listen to six track, that sparkles in the sun.'
'Minimalism, abstract sounds slowly revealing hidden melodies in among the sound, a perfect representation for these difficult times, hidden positive stories in middle of the interference of world events.'
'Netlabel Day 2019 After the success of our previous co-op release last year, here is the latest work from both 4T Thieves and Pandacetamol. Tracks and credits: Produced by 4T Thieves: Cricket Pit, Standalone Serenity, The Rusty Key, Waldorf Salad Along Here, Find The Shape Produced by Pandacetamol: Cob Backwards, Industrial Incident, Nordic Harmony, She danced on the sand, Origins Photograph by Joe Desousa unsplash.com/@mustangjoe'
'Guest artist Fa Le Brou arrives on Kahvi with a minimal and subtle little five track ep, reminiscing of classic game sound tracks of old (Damask) to epic Vangelis tributes (Living in) and moody darkness akin to Autechre (Nightlights). Quite a trip for the listener.'
'We've featured Hardwired before in a previous VA compilation, but thought it would be good to feature the man again in his own EP release. Liminal is a selection of works from Hardwired back catalogue. Some retro sounds (angular), very autechre sounding work (folding rna) and even Boards inspired (2nd last dream, 3rd last dream). Mellow, chilled out, atmospheric, in time for the summer sun.'
'We're heading back to the 90s with this album by guest artist elAstrum, heavily influenced by Kraftwerk and Orbital, and chip music from 80s home computers such as the Commodore 64. Extreme retro vibes with those addictive, glitchy melodies that those of a certain vintage can very well remember. Exciting, harsh, melodic and retro in 15 tracks.'
'John Novak appeared on Kahvi a couple of times previously, both showing his versatility of different styles, from popular mainstream melodies, to IDM inspired by Tangerine Dream and Chemical Brothers. This time around he's back with passages of ambience, interspersed with addictive melodies in the shape of his new album 'The Moon is a Strange God'. Eight tracks of sublime chill, drifting between the stars.'
'NNYz? was last seen back at #375, and he returns to Kahvi with a short but sweet seven track EP called 'Aetiology'. Highly detailed textures with glitchy beats, field recordings and IDM arps combined into simply named but exotic sounding tracks. Track of choice: 4am for deliciously sweeping eighths for emotive spine tingling nostalgia. '
'Fluffy Inside (otherwise known as Pandacetamols more trance related alter-ego) brings us Fluffy Inside EP, a seven track riot of oldskool-trance-idm-acid-vibes. More experimental using authentic 90s era sounds, Fluffy Inside takes you back to the roots. '
'Just before Christmas, Curious Inversions came up with the idea for our next artist challenge in the shape of a 'Secret Santa' challenge. The challenge was to create a track using at least some of the sounds from sample packs, along with a few additional sounds such as bass, percussion from the artists own collection. Seven sample packs were created by seven different artists, and then randomly distributed. The result is what's now known as 'Forms'. Clicking on info will show you the original artist who created the sample pack used. If you want to take a listen to the original samples, you can download the packs from the link below: Sample packs can be downloaded from here: kahvi.micksam7.com/kahvi417_forms_samplepacks.zip'
