The brand-new Ran Slavin’s album, which was just released on the label Crónica, sounded incredibly awesome in my media player. I’ve always been interested in his music, but I was surprised to discover that Digital Junkies in Strange Times was even more intriguing than his previous work. Not long ago, Data.Wave hosted an interview with […]

This time the spotlights are on the release called The Mediterranean Drift, another record made by a musician living by the Mediterranean Sea. The album begins with the track Losing coordinates inthe Mediterranean Drift that lasts more than 15 minutes.

Clicks’n’cuts, Glitch – da war doch was. Wem die bittersüßen Melodien auf dem elften Studioalbum von Ran Slavin etwas aus der Zeit gefallen erscheinen, liegt damit nicht ganz verkehrt. Das Material, dass Sklavin hier abliefert, was ursprünglich für eine Veröffentlichung auf Mille Plateaux vorgesehen – die bekanntermaßen vor vielen, vielen Jahren recht abrupt ihre Pforten […]
