Mystery Circles

Featured Release

Area Flood

Low pulses, flickering harmonics, sustained tones, and tape-like drift gather into a wide field of sound. The music feels spacious but never still, hovering between calm and unease, with warm frequencies swelling like water rising in the dark.

Navin Kala

Navin Kala is an ambient musician who lives a life in the Brazilian countryside that's almost impossible to believe even when you're looking right at it on his Instagram: rain dripping from palms and banana trees, mangoes dropping into his hands, chickens and dogs running free, and in the middle of it all, a home music studio filled with classic synths and acoustic instruments and a Fender Rhodes he rebuilt top to bottom. His new release on Mystery Circles, Spinoza, is his seventh full-length since 2020. Part of what makes it so beautiful is how much of the world beyond the studio doors Navin lets in.
