"Loops" is the new collaborative album by Nul Tiel artists Bio Unit and Metre, combining their different takes on electronic music to create these 20 tracks. Heavy on beats and bass, these loop based tracks range from ambient to techno.

Here at Musiio we’re constantly testing and fine-tuning our A.I. to make sure that it is functioning at optimal capacity. In one of our usual testing sessions I noticed that it can pick out certain instruments and styles of playing really well.

In these tracks picked out by our A.I. we have bands inspired by Balkan brass orchestras and swinging early 20th century jazz. Disparate scenes far apart but all featuring the same fun and joyous sound of wind instruments!

Is it possible for an expanding capitalist economy to remain within safe ecological limits or is it doomed to fail ? Capitalism requires constant growth, profit and production with an increasing population to remain stable. Without sufficient consumption, which creates more demand for production, the cycle would be frozen and capitalism would fail. These mechanisms do not provide incentives for preserving the environment and it falls victim to this compulsive behaviour. Is the sharing economy an answer. An economy where people value access to things over physical ownership ? Is Free Music Archive an example of sharing yet still giving listeners the option to support the artist to keep making music.
