The song and accompanying music video will drop Jan. 2.

 

2025 is probably our first year without a proper ambient release, with this year’s annual compilation reflecting how diverse our catalog has grown.

KILN and Monoparts presented music this year that pushed expectations, with KILN’s music pretty much in a world of its own anyway, and Monoparts bringing a vocal-heavy trip-hop record to the lineup – two records that would stand on their own on any label, irrespective of genre classifications.

Christian Kleine’s second Lost World volume spoke to our true IDM roots of past, and Mikkel Rev’s Journey Beyond, to the future perhaps, with a subtle wink to Trance music running through our blood.

A new signing in WNDFRM presented a landscape of micro-rhythmic IDM, as did returning artist Salvatore Mercatante, through a live set that traversed a spectrum of bass-heavy atmospheres.

Tying this all together in one mix has become todos’ annual challenge, and he would be the first to admit this one was his most challenging yet. While I would never force this concept on him, if it didn’t work, todos has the permission to edit, layer, chop and re-work where he needs to, just like a live set. In turn, his magic becomes a completely new way to absorb the releases from our past year, and an enjoyable way to spot moments you missed.

Available on Bandcamp

Thank you to everyone who has supported the label and the artists included here this year.
