Some music that sneaked out in December 2025 that I missed. From Belfast, Phil Kieran's Le Carousel released an EP called Echo Spiegel (translation- Sound Mirror), a squelchy psychedelic, Germanic disco number with a pair of remixes by Curses and a further one by Phil himself. The original is a lovely piece of electronic music, one that draws you in as it unfolds, repetition as a feature and an end in itself.
Curses is DJ/ producer/ remixer Luca Venezia, resident of Berlin. He provides a pair of remixes. The Liquid Metal Remix is driven by a breakbeat and stripped back synth sounds, low slung fun and a churning, grimy bassline. The EP, all four versions, are available to listen to and buy at Bandcamp. It finishes with Phil's remix of his own track, the Phil Kieran Psychedelic Mix, a version that removes the rhythms and focuses on a Cluster like trip into the cosmische.
