| MigloJE - Linear Emotions [kahvi163] - Rubicante
Our resident Lithuanian artist, migloJE, returns with some more enchanting and subtle sounds. similar to his previous ep released a few months ago on kahvi, linear emotions builds on more of the ambient side of things with amazing textures and a production quality on a par with 'the professionals'. Once again his chatter semi-glitch ideology makes an appearance, but for a ride with a difference give linear emotions a few listens, each time you'll find something refreshing and new.

| Octopus City - URL [kahvi201] - rubicante
url returns with the first release of the new year - an excellent example of url's style and quality, dark and moody with original beats and savage textures. url has gone a different direction for this ep, moving away from the more mainstream idm and mixing in purely gothic styling (satyrs for example). Favorite track of this release is certainly rhodetry salvage. A great start for 2007.

| Younnat - Radiovision [kahvi256]
Changing pace on Kahvi this time, a more chilled funky release from Ukrainian artist Younnat. With elements of Roykskopp and even 70's disco, this six track ep is a refreshing change in the huge, warm, analogue bubblebath of other releases previously featured within the collective. Always something refreshing, always something just a little bit unique, Younnat brings his own particular style to a cross over between funk and technology...

| Aaron Jasinski - Serpentine Soiree [kahvi200] - rubicante
Finally, Kahvi release #200 is here, with noneother than Mr Jasinski in the driving seat. There were numerous possibilities for the #200 slot but Serpentine Soiree has it all - the tracks are superbly produced, the album has 'fun' as its theme throughout, and I thought it would make an ideal Christmas release also. Its been a great year for releases from Kahvi and this nicely puts the icing on the cake...

| Muhr - Lullabies [kahvi195] - rubicante
Muhr, as featured on numerous other labels in the ethosphere, arrives on Kahvi at last. Otherwise known as Kahvi veteran Vizion, has produced an entirely different style and persona to go with the alternative artist name Muhr - subtle, minimal, ambient, emotional. All the ingredients for the usual Introspective release but with a Canadian twist of ice. Some lovely work in this release, so do the man a favour and leave some feedback!

After hearing numerous great releases from other netlabels, Planet Boelex came over to London to perform a live set at the Netaudio Festival in Islington. All the usual qualities are there, epic sounds and textures with the that much polished vibe that we get to hear in Esem's works. A fantastic, 53 minute audio journey into Boelex's works and back.

A first release by any netlabel for Berestez, and what can I say? It's such excellent material, it's amazing we haven`t heard anything from him before - subtle, moody, sentimental and stunning. After receiving this EP some days ago, I`ve listened to nothing else. This is the start of some fantastic releases for Kahvi in the future from Berestez.

Another new artist, Keed Pr1 arrives on the scene - a little more underground, a little less mainstream, a little more harsh yet a little more subtle. essences of autechre are apparent in this release, with mellow influences of arovane rebounding on the slightly glitchy, slightly more challenging style. excellent production throughout make this a worthy addition to the kollectiv.

Breaking the mould on Kahvi Collective, more of a non-commercial sound this time from Unicode. In development over two years, ranging from ambient to the more abstract elements of sound. Influences of Boards Of Canada, Plaid, Autechre among others are apparent, with diversions into the more experimental area. FM Synthesis appears to be popular in Saint Petersburg :)
