the first release in a long time from monotonik, mono211’s techno sublabel, and it’s the first ever monotonik mp3 too. All the way from Alaska, Jiva provides us with some truly serene idm in the style of the similarly remote but moving Boards Of Canada or Biosphere. Beautiful home listening for everyone, and well worth the download. And we know our French is schoolboy at best, but the title is definitely something about strolling across the seabed, isn’t it?

After hearing the first Theralite release from Jiva, we just had to track him down in our small dark kayak and ask him out on a date. And after the wind put out the campfire, he slipped us a little package with this idyllic little EP in it. We whooped all the way home. “Desk” especially reminds us of the unrushed ambience of artists such as Harold Budd, and Jiva, hailing from Alaska, has a little less to work with than a lot of other artists. The less counts, as you can see.
