The second of the Christmas lineup for this year is a familiar name to many - Workbench.

A four track ep consisting of a selection of tracks from his new album "infinite lives", Workbench has surpassed himself, improving his previous style and production (as seen previously on Kahvi) and perfecting it in the process.

Amiga fans may note the track names as being familar - Workbench has created "infinite lives" as a tribute to the good old days and also as a final gesture under the "workbench" moniker.

How he shall appear in future is uncertain but it will surely be exciting, brilliant and something worth waiting for.. You can buy the entire "infinite lives" album from his site directly or if you prefer, iTunes.

Another Christmas release follows shortly! ']]> http://www.kahvi.org/releases.php?release_number=259 http://www.kahvi.org/releases.php?release_number=259
this seven track ep, entitled Valek Polkis, is a ride through ambient/idm noway, Planet Boelex inspired coolness in seagulls and bees to the amazingly addictive leads but strangely entitled rtyjd2. The ep grows on you to such a point that you have to have just another fix of your favorite track.

Information about the speech in radiastrmix (takladno):

"The samples used there are from 1) movie for nizhniy novgorod museum of radiophysics. the movie is called "radioastronomy" author Andrey Suzdalev). The main phrase (repeated many times) is "weak space noise, far stars and galaxies, but the principle here is the same - it's only a question of technique."

Also used is a small sample from a movie by Alexander Rastorguev called Zar nezhnykh. Dikyi, dikyi plyazh (Tenders Heat: Wild Wild Beach).

Track of choice - the truly sublime "rtyjd2".

Enjoy this opening release for the Kahvi Christmas releases 2008 and watch out for the next, coming soon! ']]> http://www.kahvi.org/releases.php?release_number=258 http://www.kahvi.org/releases.php?release_number=258
I'm not sure whether living in this pleasant island inspires or influences his style but we have four tracks of blissful electronica.

Melodic idm verging on breaks in falling in too deep, ambient aphex twin styled im dreaming of a dream and underground darkness in the form of shape decay. unique sounds and textures are apparent throughout this delightful small and easy to get into ep. enjoy the sounds!

9 tracks of elektro inspired works - hints of alpha conspiracy in jack and the fairy, chilled out beats in carousel and my personal favourite hydrocarbon with its catchy beats and melody.

a feeling of dark and metalic beats seems to occur throughout this release, cold and monochrome. A slightly different style to feature on kahvi but one worthy of a listen. ']]> http://www.kahvi.org/releases.php?release_number=256 http://www.kahvi.org/releases.php?release_number=256
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. Not only this, but he also enjoys fiddling with technology in his live sets; using implements you wouldn't otherwise think of to create his audible masterpieces.

Check the links below for some videos of him in action with such a thing as an old dot matrix printer as backing! Track of choice in this ep: various but Last Broadcast stands out.

Videos well worth checking out also:

"Island versus city" is one of these eps that makes kahvi great - pure idm/electronica with a heavily inspired boards of canada vibe. this five tracker has got all the pre-requisites of a cool release - sentimental and nostalgic vibes (nuuk godthab), warm analogue (ymah), early 90s feeling (viper water), and ambient beatless goodness (midnattsol).

Excellent production round off this extreme example of the perfect kahvi release, this one has been on my playlist for some weeks and will continue to do so! Track of choice: ymah. Enjoy! ']]> http://www.kahvi.org/releases.php?release_number=254 http://www.kahvi.org/releases.php?release_number=254
An eight track ep containing some outstanding works, not so ambient as in his past life but certainly featuring some stronger themes (Antibiotic Resistance being one to mention).

If you're a fan of Jean Michel Jarre, check the heavily influenced (and perhaps so named) track In the Scholars Wake.

A great, flowing ebb of electronic sound from start to finish, welcome back Curious Inversions! ']]> http://www.kahvi.org/releases.php?release_number=253 http://www.kahvi.org/releases.php?release_number=253
To ease you back into the normal 9-5 (or perhaps send a shock through the system), we've got an exciting and invigorating nine track ep from Tom Bragl. After his first, well received release on Kahvi (#245, What tone am I?) he decided to take up the open invitation to release another fine selection of works.

Diverse in its range, 'Zerochoice' could be seen as heading towards the mainstream with its fast beats and high power 'feel good' factor but all the elements that you're used to from previous Kahvi releases are there - ranging from the truly awe inspiring 'seterror' (check out the c64 tribute) to the emotional 'my last tea'.

Track of choice: the truly epic 'Zerochoice'. Welcome back to Kahvi, Tom Bragl! ']]> http://www.kahvi.org/releases.php?release_number=252 http://www.kahvi.org/releases.php?release_number=252
With tracks like 'Finally falling..' building up the expectations and setting the scene for the rest of the ep, and the truly epic and curiously named `20701` being the track of choice, I think this release has something for those die hard ambient fans along with the melodic idm followers.

small suburban heartbeats is the perfect compliment to those hot dry summer months spent languishing in the sun. Enjoy the summer and see you again soon! ']]> http://www.kahvi.org/releases.php?release_number=251 http://www.kahvi.org/releases.php?release_number=251
Aleksi is, as I probably said before, verging on the genius with his out of tune, apparently random melodies, but yet.. they actually work quite well.

The tracks featured here are a small personally selected bunch of the more mellow and chilled tracks, still with the 'randomness', still with the completely original construction. Download the full album here: http://www.cncd.fi/aeeben/music/perseverance/ Track of choice: "Satellites" - Enjoy! ']]>
