Het Droste Effect – Het Droste Effect (2011)
“Het Droste Effect from Eindhoven, The Netherlands. Tracks ranging from repetitive robotrock to calm ambient to psychedelic kraut and space rock, infused with field recordings and special guests on bass, moog, vibraphonette, saxophone and monotron. Inspired by many great bands from the past and the present, Hermann (guitar/engineer) & Thompson (drums/percussion) set out to create a sound of their own. Het Droste Effect go on to have a jazz-inspired jam that fuses influences from the extended freestyle freeform funtimes of bands like the Grateful Dead.”
Brujas del Sol – Moonliner Vol. 1 (2012)
“Brujas del Sol is an instrumental 3-piece from Colombus, Ohio.They make “music that makes people dance, bang their heads and plug their ears”. This band plays absolutely stunning psychedelic/desert rock filled with atmosphere & hypnotic grooves (think Causa Sui, 35007, Ten East, Yawning Man, Wooden Shjips).”

Album consisting of “blistering psych-drenched instrumental blues jams from J Mascis and his stoner buddies”.

Electric Magma – Snail The Wah (2005)
“Electric Magma formed in 2000 in the tiny hamlet known as Toronto, Canada. Emerging from the ashes of previous musical endeavors, the thunderous trio comprised of Tryg Smith , Tim Reesor and Mario Lunardo forged ahead with their vision of sonic eruption. Halfway up the fuzzed-out sludge ladder, somewhere in between the metal boogie rock of Clutch and the surfed-up stoner rock of Fu Manchu, lies the sound of burning liquid rock. Electrified Magma… While the lack of a singer can be a crippling obstacle for many a lesser band, it has only added fuel to their collective fire and driven their fuzzed-out riff rock into another dimension.”
It’s Not Night: It’s Space – Bowing Not Knowing to What (2012)
Hotel Wrecking City Traders & Gary Arce – Hotel Wrecking City Traders & Gary Arce (2011)
Hotel Wrecking City Traders & Gary Arce (2011)
“It’s a cross-continental collision of sounds. Gary Arce is considered one of the founding figures of desert rock. His laid back, airy tone and improvisatory will have been a key inspiration for bands literally all over the world, and when it comes to jams, there are few guitarists out there who can add as much personality to a piece of music as he can. Apart from working instrumentally, they seem to be driven by completely different musical ideals. The two-song, 20-minute release combines the disparate elements at work in the total three players involved for a double-guitar brew that’s based as much on improvisational noodling as it is on noisy crunch.”
Hellbender – Cosmolux (2011)
Amazing band that combines mind-melting psychedelic jams with loud stoner riffs. Think if Earthless went doomy and started producing OM-like meditations.
The Whirlings – The Whirlings (2011)
Laid back psychedelic jams for meditation by Italian band The Whirlings.
