![[audio]](/images/mediatype_audio.gif) | Aleksi Eeben - Five Fish Fingers [kahvi225] - rubicante
It seems that 2007 has been a year for the odd and strange and Five Fish Fingers is probably one of the strangest you're likely to hear from the Kahvi fold. Truly bizarre springs to mind for a couple of the tracks but there is a mark of true genius in there as well. 'Ground fish' is a prime example of craziness but then it jumps into a purely excellent piece of semi-game/semi-idm styled music, interesting, refreshing and exciting...

Welcoming Affective Disorder to Kahvi. St Dizier at Night is a journey through several audio genres, the ambient 'le pont vers l'espace' and 'soul of a cloud' to the idm 'cilkadrol' - a journey through a city at night with the smooth meeting the harsh and spikey. Excellent production meets French style. Definatley one to be added to my playlist.

many moons went by and all of a sudden an apparition appeared on the horizon - a reinvented 'luke the wizard' no less, this time around known as Nova Viator. A couple of huge releases suddenly arrived in the inbox. Rudi Rudi is the more unconventional of the two, with 17(!) tracks of uniqueness. I would say the best description of this release is a patchwork of 'shorts' - ranging from 40 seconds to 6 minutes long, all painting one bigger picture...

Guest artist craque arrives on Kahvi Collective with a unique blend of textures and IDM elements. Five track 'Material' verges on the style of 'MigloJE'. Torus Europa sets the scene with its lush, drawn out passages of sound and textures and leads into the interesting 'strawberry jam', an atonal melody drawing on a paced bass line which makes a nice combination and the extraordinary 'organum' (my personal favourite of this release) with 'that' sample hook that fits so well with the rest of the t...

| Yard - Collab and Conquer [kahvi197] - rubicante
Guest artist Yard may be a familiar artist to some of you, cruising the Detroit techno scene for many moons. With his complex style of offbeat and dark montages, Yard creates a curious fusion of the oldskool techno that was hitting the airwaves at the beginning of the nineties with subtle echo's of the idm of today. Dark, moody, gothic, industrial, mellow, but all blended to a fine texture. Interesting and one to add to the 'slightly out of this world' playlist.

High quality production throughout, some excellent strong tracks which will certainly be a worthy addition to your permanent playlist.

Introspective, Kahvi's long time ambient meister, makes a return to the fold. Gewesen (meaning 'what once was' in German) is an ep of progression; long drawn out passages of audible excellence, meandering across the ambient spectrum. the leaves in the rain, traditional arpeggios with an idm edge and undocumented, featuring a curious lead sound are a couple of highlights. an oh-so-cool ep to listen and relax.
