Electroacoustic improvisation is still not a very common kind of music you might expect to hear in Poland. Especially from Polish musicians. To find out about the duo of Patryk Lichota and Piotr Tkacz was quite a nice surprise for us. Even more as this recordings are really good!

Three improvised tracks recorded on one night back in December 2008 - now available for free download in mp3's and lossless .flac files. Enjoy!

Denis Kolokol is a Ukrainian artist currently residing in Krakow, Poland. He used to be very active in the underground scenes of Kazakhstan and Ukraine, running a few zines and being a part of [antiparty gang], a creative collective in Almaty.

This release is a documentation of music he has composed during his stay at the Music Academy in Krakow as well as some older recording from Kazakhstan. Available in mp3's and lossless .flac files. And highly recommended.

It's been a while since we've heard from our favourite Argentinian duo, Calidoscopio. The guys were working on the new album and - here it is. Slightly melancholic - but not as sad as their debut, lo-fi pop - but not as lo-fi as it used to be, ten new songs for your pleasure.

Go to the link below and grab it to your hard drive, iPod or whatever else device you might be using... And enjoy!

Calidoscopio - Lemmings
