Jherek Bischoff is an American musician, composer, well, a multitalent. I haven't heard before about this artist but I'm considering buying the new album "Cistern" from him. His soundscapes remind me bit of Nils Frahm.
Here's a short discription of his new album from the Soundcloud page:
"Cistern is an album inspired by time Bischoff spent improvising in an empty, two-million-gallon, underground water tank, with a 45-second reverb decay. The unique acoustics of the space forced Bischoff to slow down and adapt his compositional approach - something which, unexpectedly, brought him back to his childhood, and the slow-pace of life he experienced growing up on a sailboat."
I haven't yet listened trough the album but for sure it will be interesting to listen! You can find the full album already from Spotify.
This next one is just hautingly beautiful and a touching song.
Here's the link to Bischoff's Soundcloud: https://soundcloud.com/jherek-bischoff
And just now noticed that of course the record label where Bischoff is, is Leaf where's also artists like Colleen, Caribou, Efterklang and Vladislav Delay and here you can find the rest

I'm an optimist but sometimes I have to listen music from a Pessimist ha ha haaa...I know a lame joke but I had to. Pessimist aka. Kristian Jabs comes from the UK and makes drumm & bass music.
Even though I haven't been a big fan of drumm & bass (well Burial..) I really enjoy Pessimist's work and sounds.
Here you can find the Soundcloud page of Pessimist: https://soundcloud.com/pessimist
Then it's time for some totally awesome oldskool vibes. Letherette aka Andy Harber and Rich Roberts come also from the UK,
Letherette - "Maybe"
Check the new album under this link (can't embed it)
Especially the songs "Sweeter" and "D&T"

Volte-Face is a totally new UK artist for me, but oh he makes great techno! I really really love his sound! Just listen this stream trough and you'll love it! Even though the last song is named "Dead cat on the dinner table" it's an amazing song! Put your techno shoes on!
You can buy Volte-Face's "You bury me" from Hard wax: https://hardwax.com
One other artist I found from Hard wax (I should take time and go them all trough) is Emiel Zwart who comes from The Netherlands, Rotterdam. (A great place of techno in the The Netherlands). Should buy also his stuff!
And one more via Hard wax: Abayomi who's a Berlin resident.
Ok some more easy going music now.... The Avalanches sounds groovy! The next would happen most likely if you watch "The wizard of Oz" on drugs..
The Avalanches - "The Wozard of Iz"
And when the whole village goes berserk....don't drink that neon-lemonade!
The Avalanches - "Frankie Sinatra"
Konx-Om-Pax comes from Scotland but resides in Berlin. They have a new album called "Caramel" out from the label Planet Mu. I really think I will end up buying it!
I couldn't find my favorite "Perc rave" anywhere else than the Bleep page:
