Ambient music legend Stumbleine announces 8th album, unveils first single ‘I Can Stop Anytime I Like’!

Published

on

Deleted Scene, the 8th studio album from UK producer Stumbleine, overflows with beautiful nostalgia-tinged electronica. The album is steeped with cloud-like beauty, with opener and first single I Can Stop Anytime I Like fusing addictive sampled vocals with soft, glassy guitars, as if a reflecting pool of the listeners’ memories.

Cinderhaze ripples that pool with a more driving, magnetic force, shifting and pulling its emotional weight in cyclic waves. Ursa Minor Sleeps Forever is fittingly sleepy, circling soft slow synth arpeggios in a dreamy haze, a sound built upon by Somnia to an epiphany-like string bed, never straying too far from Stumbleine’s serene haven of melodic grace. On Catastrophette Stumbleine crafts a more dramatic and poignant web of sound, as if running through the memories created by the rest of Deleted Scene.

‘Stumbleine’ is the alias of Peter Cooper. With roots in the UK post rock scene, the reclusive producer began blending slow dream-like pop with fractured lo-fi beats as Stumbleine in 2012. Melancholic rnb vocals ebb and flow above submerged guitar ballads. Sand blasted samples intertwine with broken beats to create music with a nostalgic fragile warmth. Stumbleine is known for a DIY ethic, releasing music directly to fans or via the independent label Monotreme Records.

The new album as a whole is an escape to a dream-state of Stumbleine’s making, captivating, yet familiar, and completely enveloping. According to Peter, “Deleted scene refers to the memories that play over and over inside your own head, replaying hazy copies of hazy copies that evolve into a bittersweet fever dream. Everybody has their own unique collection of deleted scenes slowly distorting and fading away.”Deleted Scene will be released on June 14th digitally, as a CD in a colour printed slipcase cover and as a limited vinyl edition of 300 copies on 180 g white vinyl, which can be pre-ordered here: https://monotremerecords.limitedrun.com/products/776439

“HYPNOTIC” by Ari Martin Is a Chillwave Gem That Lives Up to Its Name— A Stylish Synth-Funk Vibe You Won’t Forget

Published

Okay—where has Ari Martin been all my life?

I stumbled across his new track “HYPNOTIC” while deep-diving into new indie electronic releases, and I legit had to stop what I was doing and just listen. Not scroll. Not skip. Just…vibe.

HYPNOTIC” is exactly that—an instrumental groove that lives up to its name. It opens like a slow-motion sunrise over some retro-futuristic cityscape, with glassy synths and subtle funk chords pulling you in before you even realize it. There’s this undeniable throwback flavor—something in the DNA of the track that feels inspired by the cool polish of ‘80s electro-funk—but with a modern edge that makes it feel right at home on today’s EDM playlists.

And that bassline? It doesn’t just slap—it glides. Smooth but confident. Funky but never over-the-top. The whole production is clean, deliberate, and honestly kind of addictive. It’s like Ari Martin reached into some neon-drenched corner of his mind and pulled out this glittering groove that’s impossible to ignore.

You can tell Ari’s not just pressing buttons—he’s composing. There’s musicality here, cinematic layering, and a clear respect for the genre. It’s no surprise he’s backed by Powerblast Worldwide; this is the kind of song that DJs love, producers respect, and casual listeners will catch themselves humming after just one spin.

If you’re into artists like FKJ, Kaytranada, or even the more soulful side of ODESZA, Ari Martin might just be your next favorite follow.

Bottom Line:

HYPNOTIC” is a smooth, stylish, and subtly brilliant debut for new listeners of Ari Martin. It’s the kind of track that sneaks into your playlist—and before you know it, you’re checking out everything else he’s released. Consider me officially tuned in.
