Today we&#8217;re listening to K Wata, an American electronic musician from Seattle. He grew up listening to his mom&#8217;s funk records and the local KEXP radio station, taking piano lessons before getting seriously into drums.<a class="footnote-anchor" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM" id="footnote-anchor-1" href="#footnote-1" target="_self">1</a> He played in a free jazz band in high school and got into hip-hop producers like Madlib and J Dilla, starting to make his own beats using Reason. He moved to New York to study Music Technology at NYU, and he remains based in the city. We found his album </strong><em><strong>Give U Space</strong></em><strong> on <span class="mention-wrap" data-attrs="{&quot;name&quot;:&quot;Robin Murray&quot;,&quot;id&quot;:5340255,&quot;type&quot;:&quot;user&quot;,&quot;url&quot;:null,&quot;photo_url&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/c72da1e6-3524-4cef-a889-13fd130b70a7_1200x1200.jpeg&quot;,&quot;uuid&quot;:&quot;e44e0bf3-bfb1-42da-903f-e474bde9d982&quot;}" data-component-name="MentionToDOM"></span>&#8217;s <a href="https://neverhurryamurray.substack.com/p/the-16-best-albums-from-2026-so-far">list of the best albums of 2026 so far</a>.

We&#8217;re also playing his 2022 record, </strong><em><strong>Dot Dot Dot</strong></em><strong>, which goes a bit more industrial in its sound.

Their first LP, </strong><em><strong>Doubles</strong></em><strong>, was all one-takes without any overdubs, a bare sound that captures the conversation between their instruments.

Horizon, Bob Holmes of SUSS dedicates the episode to one of his favorite labels, Centripetal Force Records. Home to many of the artists heard on the podcast and radio show, Centripetal has one of the largest rosters of artists performing experimental, ambient, and instrumental music with an Americana bent. The episode features music by and interviews with artists including Michael Hix (of the Nashville Ambient Ensemble), Tacoma Park, Prairiewolf, Kevin Coleman, Johnny Bell, and label owner Mike Mannix. Each of the guests chose one of their favorite Centripetal Force artists to play and discuss.</strong></p><p><strong>For Flow State, we&#8217;re listening to a couple recent Centripetal Force records. First up is </strong><em><strong>Zone Poems</strong></em><strong> by Prairiewolf, a band we featured and interviewed <a href="https://www.flowstate.fm/p/prairiewolf-interview">back in 2024</a>. The new album places their psychedelic guitar and synth pieces over laidback drum machines. We&#8217;re also listening to </strong><em><strong>Baltimore</strong></em><strong> by Tacoma Park, a wide-ranging instrumental record from April with elements of shoegaze, indie rock, ambient, and kosmische.</strong></p><p><em><strong>Zone Poems</strong></em><strong> - Prairiewolf (40m, no vocals)<br><a href="https://prairiewolfcf.bandcamp.com/album/zone-poems">Bandcamp</a> / <a

music from TUAWKI, Christopher Willits, Lara Somogyi &amp; Rob Moose, and Cole Pulice. We play a track from Italian pianist Runaway Horses and a newish ethereal collaboration between Duval Timothy &amp; Carlos Ni&#241;o. There&#8217;s a really nice piano-led instrumental by Tony Njoku, and a track from yesterday&#8217;s recommendation (Natalia Tspyruk). Celia Hollander &amp; Evan Shortenstein&#8217;s &#8220;Rippling&#8221; is from their EP from earlier this year, </strong><em><strong>Unexpected Music II</strong></em><strong>. There&#8217;s some fusion-style music from Anthony Calonico (excellent new album) and Clear Path Ensemble. There&#8217;s some experimental electronic stuff at the end from Varra and Tammo Hesselink. We hope you enjoy.</strong></p><div><hr></div><p>0:00:00 - TUAWKI - Blueberry Faygo</p><p>0:02:51 - Christopher Willits - Tides II</p><p>0:08:36 - Lara Somogyi &amp; Rob Moose - sitting circle</p>

It&#8217;s a moving collection of mostly string pieces &#8211; she records all the string parts &#8211; with synth accompaniment and delicate piano.

Today we&#8217;re listening to Tammo Hesselink, a Dutch electronic musician from the Netherlands countryside. In the 2010s he began DJing at Amsterdam clubs and then releasing his own music. His style takes techno as the foundation and borrows from UK bass and minimalist house. To <a href="https://www.asifnoway.com/interview-with-tammo-hesselink">ASIFNOWAY</a> he said, &#8220;I mostly just try to find a lot of samples which I manipulate with a lot of ring modulation and frequency shifter to get sounds that sound a bit in between melodic and percussive.&#8221; We&#8217;re playing two records: </strong><em><strong>Beam</strong></em><strong>, an LP from 2023, and </strong><em><strong>Naturally Occurring</strong></em><strong>, an EP from 2024.</strong></p><p><em><strong>Beam</strong></em><strong> - Tammo Hesselink (48m, no vocals)<br><a

length="0" type="image/jpeg"/><content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Today we&#8217;re listening to Alden Hellmuth, an American saxophonist and composer from Connecticut. She started playing sax in elementary school and continued with the instrument through graduate school at the Herbie Hancock Institute at UCLA. There she was mentored by Hancock himself as well as trumpeter Ambrose Akinmusire. She released her debut LP, </strong><em><strong>Good Intentions</strong></em><strong>, in 2024, a record that oscillates between tension and resolution, chaos and calm, channeling influences like Ornette Coleman and Albert Ayler. Her latest record, </strong><em><strong>Tether</strong></em><strong>, came out in June, continues this style and includes a dueling-bass setup (Logan Kane and Miller Wren). A conversation with Alden follows the streaming links.</strong></p><p><em><strong>Tether</strong></em><strong> - Alden Hellmuth (40m, no vocals)<br><a href="https://aldenhellmuth.bandcamp.com/album/tether">Bandcamp</a> / <a href="https://open.spotify.com/album/6QGWSfYymGUd1UUDGXy5fU?si=nIquIWqJSfqmwbEO87EXWQ">Spotify</a> / <a href="https://music.apple.com/us/album/tether/1891273691">Apple Music</a> / <a href="https://music.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_ll9KxmTqAgL_Aqcy3LKCRqk8VyQN_POHI">YouTube Music</a> / <a href="https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0GWD2BYFM">Amazon Music</a> / <a href="https://tidal.com/album/524936315">Tidal</a></strong></p><p><em><strong>Good Intentions</strong></em><strong> - Alden Hellmuth (40m, no vocals)<br><a href="https://aldenhellmuth.bandcamp.com/album/good-intentions">Bandcamp</a> / <a href="https://open.spotify.com/album/5wsGAJU2XvPexXgDZAIJca?si=mQ0fsQwZQgeYMwEE_ZWqCQ">Spotify</a> / <a href="https://music.apple.com/us/album/good-intentions-feat-yvonne-rogers-lucas-kadish-kanoa/1753899102">Apple Music</a> / <a href="https://music.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_nXnGi3I5IzdosTesbAe6QbksmwMbawsA4">YouTube Music</a> / <a href="https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0D812SV2P">Amazon Music</a> / <a href="https://tidal.com/album/371395087">Tidal</a></strong></p><div><hr></div><p><strong><span>What&#8217;s your earliest memory of music?</span></strong></p><p><span>My earliest memory is probably singing along with my mom&#8217;s CDs or singing in the choir at church.</span></p><p><strong><span>Tell us how you got started with the saxophone, what your early favorite pieces to play were.</span></strong></p><p><span>I started playing saxophone in elementary school band and at the time I loved playing the music from Disney movies.</span></p><p><strong><span>Which were the artists / albums that helped you find your own sound and style?</span></strong></p><p><span>Listening to artists like Muhal Richard Abrams, Anthony Braxton, Henry Threadgill, Jonathan Finlayson, Steve Lehman, Ingrid Laubrock, Ambrose Akinmusire, and so many more really inspired my voice/compositional style. Whenever I hear something surprising or interesting, I take notes. I&#8217;m constantly collecting ideas. Also, having Ambrose as a mentor during my time at the HH Institute was crucial to my development. He really inspired and pushed me to dive deeper into the craft, try new ideas, and truly forge my own path. Having reassurance (and occasional direction) is really important when you&#8217;re exploring a new terrain.</span></p><p><strong><span>What did you learn from Herbie Hancock?</span></strong></p><p><span>The biggest thing I learned from Herbie Hancock was that music has no ego. Letting go is so important. I&#8217;m still very much working on achieving that level of presence.</span></p><p><strong><span>What was the composition process like for </span></strong><em><strong><span>Tether</span></strong></em><strong><span>? How much of the tracks do you have in your head before going into the studio versus finding it there?</span></strong></p><p><span>There is a lot of written source material, but I really wanted to let this band open up and deconstruct it all. All of the musicians featured are so incredible, and I wanted their individual voices to shine. My favorite moments are when the improvisational material is indistinguishable from the written material.</span></p><p><strong><span>Tell us about the decision to have the double bass setup. How&#8217;d you think of doing that and what dynamics emerged from that?</span></strong></p><p><span>The project actually started because Miller Wrenn (panned left) asked me to be part of a bill at this DIY space Non Plus Ultra in downtown Los Angeles. Logan Kane (panned right) was also on the bill, and I thought &#8211; why not have a band with both of them. They&#8217;re really distinct bassists and on totally opposite ends of the spectrum both improvisationally and sonically. It made sense. That gig really set the tone for the whole project, and for the first few months it was just something fun to explore outside of the school environment, but I started writing more and more for the project and it just made sense to document it.</span></p><p><strong><span>How do you discover new music these days? Any recent interesting finds?</span></strong></p><p><span>I discover music through my friends most of the time &#8211; what they&#8217;re listening to and what they&#8217;re a part of. I really love friends like Taja Cheek&#8217;s project L&#8217;Rain and Adam O&#8217;Farrill&#8217;s Elephant and Tyrone Allen&#8217;s UPWARD. I also always circle back to my favorites &#8211; recently I&#8217;ve been revisiting live recordings of Wayne Shorter and Keith Jarrett. I like to spend time with records (either again or for the first time) and listen to them over and over again, like most recently Steve Grossman&#8217;s </span><em><span>Some Shapes To Come</span></em><span>. Also, just today a friend showed me this Hubert Laws album </span><em><span>Wild Flower</span></em><span> and I&#8217;m obsessed!</span></p><p><strong><span>Name an underrated artist from the past 50 years.</span></strong></p><p><span>Oooh there are SO many artists that deserve more recognition, but maybe Mal Waldron or Booker Little or Julius Hemphill or Steve Lacy &#8211; there&#8217;s really too many !</span></p><p><strong><span>What are you working on next?</span></strong></p><p><span>I have a sextet/septet project I&#8217;m currently refining (and figuring out funding haha), and I&#8217;m also trying to write for a new quintet with my New York band!</span></p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank"

He started making music in the &#8216;90s in the Phoenix scene, specifically through the local label Canyon Records. His only solo album as Mr. Soon is a 2003 LP called </strong><em><strong>Places in Arizona</strong></em><strong>, a downtempo electronic record reminiscent of Boards of Canada and DJ Shadow. It&#8217;s a concept album which as the title suggests is a road trip across Arizona, with track names like &#8220;Gila Bend,&#8221; &#8220;Nazlini,&#8221; and &#8220;Paradise Valley.&#8221; Most tracks are trip-hop synths+breakbeats, but there are a few ambient tracks on the second half. The 18-minute &#8220;Echo Canyon&#8221; is a study in reverb. We&#8217;re also playing </strong><em><strong>Points of Origin</strong></em><strong>, his 2007 collaboration with flute player and maker Anthony Wakeman, which blends Soon&#8217;s production with Wakeman&#8217;s Native American cedar flute.</strong></p><p><em><strong>Places in Arizona</strong></em><strong> -

Additional new ambient music comes from Cephas Azariah, Sarah Davachi, Almost an Island, and Patricia Wolf. We play a couple highlights from recently recommended albums by Sofie Birch, BCMC, and Eden Aurelius. There are two tracks from Sam Gendel and Sam Wilkes&#8217; latest album, </strong><em><strong>Unrelated</strong></em><strong>. There&#8217;s a track from Mr. Soon&#8217;s incredible album </strong><em><strong>Places in Arizona</strong></em><strong>, and another from Total Blue&#8217;s self-titled 2024 album. The pace picks up with Lusine, Butcher Brown, and Horse Lords, before CASIOPEA plays us out. We hope you enjoy.</strong></p><div><hr></div><p>0:00:00 - Foam and Sand, Six Missing, Robot Koch - Circle 72 (Summer Hum)</p><p>0:04:42 - Artefakt &amp; KMRU - Improvisation IV</p><p>0:09:30 - Cephas Azariah - 2.22pm wishyouwerestillhere</p>

David is a master collaborator, regularly producing works together with artists like <a href="https://norayrecords.bandcamp.com/album/shifting-times">Ian Hawgood</a>, <a href="https://davidcordero.bandcamp.com/album/how-to-make-sense-of-downtime">Wil Bolton</a>, <a href="https://davidcordero.bandcamp.com/track/muku">Rhucle</a>, <a href="https://davidcordero.bandcamp.com/album/let-one-bird-sing">Anth&#233;ne</a>, <a href="https://davidcordero.bandcamp.com/album/aunque-llegue-la-ma-ana">Ra&#250;l Cantizano</a>, <a href="https://norayrecords.bandcamp.com/album/verano-oxidado">Miguel Otero</a>, and many more. The releases of Noray Records have become certain additions to my listening rotation given their consistent quality, surely thanks to David&#8217;s talented circle of musicians. Whenever I need something quiet and simple, but interesting and deeply atmospheric, I know I can turn to David and Noray. The first work I&#8217;m recommending today is </strong><em><strong>Night&#8217;s End</strong></em><strong>, a recent collaboration with <a href="https://www.flowstate.fm/p/aiko-takahashi-interview">Aiko Takahashi</a> that was released on the Home Normal label (another go-to ambient label for me). The second work is a solo record from David called </strong><em><strong>Numen</strong></em><strong>, which is a great example of his unique talent for minimalist composition. I hope you enjoy these records. Happy listening.</strong></p><p><em><strong>Night&#8217;s End</strong></em><strong> - David Cordero &amp; Aiko Takahashi (34m, no vocals)<br><a

Today we&#8217;re listening to John Beltran, an American electronic musician from Lansing, Michigan. He grew up interested in the synths he saw on MTV and techno he heard from Detroit, <a href="https://toneglow.substack.com/p/tone-glow-210-john-beltran">he told Tone Glow</a>, putting his own spin on techno: &#8220;I was into Peter Gabriel and Sting and Sade, who I all love dearly now, and I brought a certain lusher and subdued quality to my music whereas their stuff was more raw.&#8221; He started releasing music in the early &#8216;90s, with his first LP, </strong><em><strong>Earth &amp; Nightfall</strong></em><strong>, coming out in 1995. You can hear the influence of Mr. Fingers and deep house on that record. We&#8217;re also playing </strong><em><strong>Ambient Selections</strong></em><strong> from 2011, which as its name suggests does have some ambient pieces as well as synth arp compositions and house tracks, and an intriguing closer.</strong></p><p><em><strong>Earth &amp;

The group is Morgan Burrs (guitar), Corey Fonville (drums), DJ Harrison (keys), Andrew Randazzo (bass), and Marcus Tenny (trumpet and sax). They bring hip-hop, funk,and other influences into their instrumental records. Their 2018 record, </strong><em><strong>Afrokuti: A Tribute to Fela</strong></em><strong>, is four afrobeat tracks paying homage to Fela Kuti. Their latest record is another homage, this time to Miles Davis and John Coltrane</strong><em><strong>. A Supreme Blue</strong></em><strong>, which came out in July, is modern interpretations of Davis&#8217;s </strong><em><strong>Kind of Blue</strong></em><strong> and Coltrane&#8217;s </strong><em><strong>A Love Supreme</strong></em><strong>. They teamed up with trumpeter Nicholas Payton, an American trumpeter from New Orleans. &#8220;All Blues&#8221; and &#8220;Pursuance&#8221; are the standouts to us.</strong></p><p><em><strong>A Supreme

She came up in the Chicago underground scene, honing her craft as a DJ and producer. Her debut LP, </strong><em><strong>Entre Nous</strong></em><strong>, came out on Monday. The ambient/dub techno tracks are richly textured and multi-layered, with something newly interesting every beat. Since this is her first LP, she recommended pairing it with the ahead-of-its-time Pola record </strong><em><strong>Pola Meets Lyrica </strong></em><strong>from 2005, writing:</strong></p><blockquote><p><strong>[it&#8217;s] a mysterious sort of glitchy, microhouse record that came out of a Japanese label in 2005. It&#8217;s a similar runtime and is quite inspirational to the music I&#8217;ve been making&#8230;. I feel like pola&#8217;s music has some sort of watery quality to it. Music that feels like being submerged(?) in water. Becoming a fish and swimming in the middle of the ocean&#8230;. It became such an obsession that I actually was scanning international CD sites and bought a copy for $40 haha.</strong></p></blockquote><p><em><strong>Entre Nous</strong></em><strong> - Eden Aurelius

There are newer instrumental tracks by Durutti Column (whose new album is his first in 16 years), Sofie Birch, and Ancient Infinity Orchestra. We replay a great More Eaze track that was on last week&#8217;s Across the Horizons episode, and highlight a new dubby cover of &#8220;So What&#8221; by Nicholas Payton and Butcher Brown. The tempo accelerates with Susumu Yokota, DJmegan23, and an edit of a new Daphni single. We hope you enjoy.</strong></p><div><hr></div><p>0:00:00 - Kane Parsons - Wake up.

She started playing bassoon at age 9, choosing the instrument in large part because it had relatively few players.<a class="footnote-anchor" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM" id="footnote-anchor-1" href="#footnote-1" target="_self">1</a></strong> <strong>She studied at the Oberlin Conservatory and joined the International Contemporary Ensemble in 2008, eventually putting out her debut solo LP, </strong><em><strong>100 Names</strong></em><strong>, in 2013. Her focus tends to be on living composers, elevating overlooked ones. Her latest record from Friday, </strong><em><strong>Righteous Rage</strong></em><strong>, is a series of bassoon choir adaptations of music by Julius Eastman, Steve Reich, Jessie Cox, Fay Victor, and Brittany J. Green. She records all the tracks herself, though her adaptations are meant to expand the repertoire available to bassoon ensemble. The record especially highlights the percussive quality of the instrument and its capacity for entrancing pulsations. </strong></p><p><em><strong>Righteous Rage</strong></em><strong> - Rebekah Heller

Today we&#8217;re listening to Sigha, an English electronic musician from London. He grew up playing guitar in shoegaze bands, and then a rave in a London warehouse exposed him to techno music.<a class="footnote-anchor" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM" id="footnote-anchor-1" href="#footnote-1" target="_self">1</a> In the aughts he began making solo work, combining the analog texture of shoegaze with the driving template of techno. His first record, </strong><em><strong>Living With Ghosts</strong></em><strong>, embraced the hypnotic repetition of techno, with the wonderful intermission &#8220;Suspension&#8221; (track six). His 2017 record, </strong><em><strong>Metabolism</strong></em><strong>, leans into synth composition more, with the same hard-hitting drums and emphasis on texture.</strong></p><p><em><strong>Metabolism</strong></em><strong> - Sigha (56m, no vocals)<br><a href="https://open.spotify.com/album/07DYBqzZvHC1xy9K8G4qXI?si=BfV0vjTXS3-O0mRq5phUXw">Spotify</a> /

Their new album </strong><em><strong>Stash</strong></em><strong> is already on our shortlist for 2026 best LPs. It&#8217;s a psychedelic ambient drone record with elements of raga, kosmische, space rock, minimalism, and more. Crain plays keys in Bitchin Bajas, and he played with MacKay a bunch in the Chicago scene before the two formed BCMC. </strong><em><strong>Stash </strong></em><strong>is their sophomore LP following their 2023 debut </strong><em><strong>Foreign Smokes,</strong></em><strong> which is four longform tracks and can be classified as jambient.</strong></p><p><em><strong>Stash</strong></em><strong> -

Horizon, Bob Holmes of SUSS invites co-host Brad Rose to play the inaugural edition of musical Jeopardy. Bob plays a music segment, and Brad&nbsp;responds with the correct question. Brad is a man of many talents &#8211; musician, visual artist, label owner, journalist for Foxy Digitalis &#8211; as well host of the great podcast Songs of Our Lives. This episode includes a variety of experimental instrumental music including More Eaze, <span class="mention-wrap" data-attrs="{&quot;name&quot;:&quot;Shane Parish&quot;,&quot;id&quot;:7786531,&quot;type&quot;:&quot;user&quot;,&quot;url&quot;:null,&quot;photo_url&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/d35998a0-de82-4350-9943-9daf4b49b7c2_800x800.jpeg&quot;,&quot;uuid&quot;:&quot;9da3f51a-56d6-43e6-aa12-b781509ce598&quot;}" data-component-name="MentionToDOM"></span>, Lake Mary, <span class="mention-wrap" data-attrs="{&quot;name&quot;:&quot;Lia Kohl&quot;,&quot;id&quot;:4551303,&quot;type&quot;:&quot;user&quot;,&quot;url&quot;:null,&quot;photo_url&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/a1860b39-d184-48ad-a249-d597bdc468ce_2100x1500.jpeg&quot;,&quot;uuid&quot;:&quot;1513ffd9-a0d5-49d7-be31-363e54e54a25&quot;}" data-component-name="MentionToDOM"></span>, Sarah Davachi, and more.</strong></p><p><strong>For Flow State, we&#8217;re listening to a couple albums by artists featured on the pod. First is More Eaze&#8217;s </strong><em><strong>lacuna and parlor</strong></em><strong> from 2024. That album opens with &#8220;waltz (in memoriam old ways of living),&#8221; a masterpiece which Bob and Brad play. The record is a brilliant combination of &#8220;left-field chamber music&#8221; and electronic experimentation, a real trip of a record. Second we&#8217;re playing </strong><em><strong>Normal Sounds</strong></em><strong> by Lia Kohl, which we&#8217;ve <a href="https://www.flowstate.fm/p/lia-kohl">recommended before</a>. That record finds the music in everyday audio, sampling a refrigerator&#8217;s hum and the buzz of tennis court lights.</strong></p><p><em><strong>lacuna and parlor</strong></em><strong> - More Eaze

Ago</a></strong></em><strong> is excellent. About the mix, he wrote:</strong></p><blockquote><p><strong>In the 1990s, the chill out room was where you would go to unwind and expand your mind to electronic music that wasn&#8217;t meant for the dancefloor.&nbsp;</strong></p><p><strong>While laying on the floor or lounging on a chair you could hear downtempo, dub, ambient, IDM, spoken word mantras, and psychedelic tunes all mixed into one sonic journey.&nbsp;</strong></p><p><strong>For my new album (</strong><em><strong>In A Small Room, Decades Ago</strong></em><strong>), I wanted to write a sort of love letter to those chill out rooms, and give my own interpretation of the variety of sounds they championed.</strong></p><p><strong>This playlist represents some of the music from those magical times, and these songs inspired me to want to create my own music (</strong><em><strong>Atmospherics</strong></em><strong> from 1994) to add to the conversation.</strong></p></blockquote><p><strong>We hope you enjoy.</strong></p><div><hr></div><p>0:00:00 - Global Communication - 14:31</p>

She studied sound design at Sonic College, and since the 2010s has been releasing psychedelic ambient music. </strong><em><strong>Holotropica </strong></em><strong>from 2022 is a meditative record that shows her ability to create thoughtful atmospheres.

There&#8217;s a strong bossa nova element to it, with dreamy seven chords and samba style percussion.
