Abstrakt Reflections is honored to announce the release of Miktek‘s first full-length album, “Anisotropy“. Meticulously crafted from beginning to end; featuring unique percussion, palpable atmosphere and subtle melodies. This highly anticipated release is sure to please fans of ambient, down-tempo and IDM music.

“There are moments when one can feel claustrophobic in their own skin, when the world seems too vast, when the road to the future feels too complex. There are moments when you need to focus, when you need to meditate, when you simply want to remove yourself from the sum of all things. This is a collection of songs that do exactly that for me. This is for calming your overactive thought process, closing your eyes and drifting, and ultimately rebooting yourself.”

V/A – The Reconstruction of Fives
To mark the imprint’s 10th anniversary n5MD has assembled a very special compilation with a slightly different viewpoint. “The Reconstruction of Fives” features songs from the n5MD catalog covered by a hand picked group of like minded and personally admired artists like Architect, Ben Lukas Boysen, Boy is Fiction and many more… all re-envision their favorite n5MD tracks in their own signature styles. This is for sure something that you cannot miss!

Port Royal – 2000-2010: The Golden Age Of Consumerism
In 2010 Italian wide-screen electronica group port-royal celebrated 10 years as a band. For the occasion they have teamed up with the n5MD imprint yet again for the release of a career spanning double album. “2000-2010: The Golden Age Of Consumerism” collects all of the band’s rarities, compilation appearances and remixes in one unabbreviated package containing close to 3 hours of music.

Near The Parenthesis -Japanese For Beginners
“Japanese for Beginners” is Near The Parenthesis’ 4th album via the n5MD imprint and 5th overall. Not far behind on the contemplative artfulness of 2010’s “Music For the Forest Concourse” this new album finds Tim Arndt adding more texturally experimental treatments to his signature mix of melodic IDM and Modern Classical.

SubtractiveLAD – Kindred
Now 7 albums in, Stephen Hummel has decided to push his SubtractiveLAD project into seemingly uncharted territory. Fans of Hummel’s work know that at any given moment his songs can thoughtfully veer into more “classic” electronic music territory.

Detailled, deep, pristine: the adjectives often used to describes Noel Wessels’s output as DJ Hidden or The Outside Agency are even more accurate for the long-awaited first album by his new Semiomime project. A highly evocative and changing soundtrack to a yet-to-be-written movie, “From Memory” is a tour de force in emotional, multi-instrumental music writing and production. Close your eyes and let Semiomime guide you through his mysterious, intimidating but not unfriendly sonic journey.

This debut album by DJ Hidden‘s new project is now available straight from Ad Noiseam.
