So i may have forgotten to share literally any art of Mikail. There’s more of these but here’s the ones i like the most rn.

All you need to know for now is that he likes cats, wine and getting into serious trouble. 

If you care about your health Know, knowldedge is wealth! Check your labels and check them twice. Poison to harm, What it does - not so nice. Causing cancers what a shame. Corporate greed must be to blame. Now to know it damages DNA too. What's their real plan for me and you? It's a pity. Who can you trust? FDA approvals aren't to benefit us! The deceit. The games. The lies. Tasting great - the best disguise.

Developing a farm land in a hill landscape into the IFS demo farm

Different from other adult people who migrated to look for job outside the village, Mr. Khim Keang and his cousin was making a joint effort to do farming in a hill landscape in Chrok Thkov, Peam commune, Samaki Meanchey district, Kampong Chhnang province.

Khim Keang has about 4 ha of land located in a hill landscape. He had applied some farming activities before he cooperated with the SUCRA…

Initial stage converting normal farm to Integrated Farming System Demo Farm

Ms. Yang Phally, 43 years old, lives in Chrok Thkov, Peam commune, Samaki Meanchey district, Kampong Chhnang province. She has 8 members in the family, including 2 women.

The SUCRA project team organized a meeting at the Royal University of Agriculture (RUA) to discuss the project progress, identify landscape units in the project target areas, develop key indicators for the baseline survey and prepare a schedule for the field data collection. 

We expect to start the baseline survey in December 2019 using the questionnaire for the individual interview developed by…

8) Xhin - Claw Eyes

A delightful, dense techno album. Full of intense and cold sounds, excellent for listening to when driving in winter.

7) Bonobo - Flashlight

A great new contribution from my fave Bonobo, gives a great little peek into the future of his sound (no vast changes, but not exactly stagnating). Strangely, Green seems to be straying from his more-and-more-live sound of late to the garagey, synthetic side of his sound, shuffling and full of life- without sounding like a recording. Keen to see where he goes next.

6) Gold and Silver - Azurite and Malachite

Gold and Silver's name promises a shiny, natural sound- imagery of precious metal. They deliver smooth, chilled post-rocky sounds with rhythm like the sharp vertices of a gemstone. A lovely little find with great writing and variety within.

5) Falside - End of an Error

Falside has been producing big, shiny instrumental hip-hop for a few years now, and I solidly hold that End of an Error is his most solid and well-made work yet. Beautiful mountains of bass and synths like great structures of sound leap and crash from these snippet-long beats.Polished and delicious, do listen!

4) Milo - Things that Happen at Day/Night

Milo has leapt from strength to strength this year, and one of his first great moves was to release the EPs "Things that Happen at Day" and "Things that Happen at Night". A name was made forever with strange samples, philosophical lyrics and boundary-pushing ideas; metaphors that push the imagination to the limit and rhetoric for dayyyyys. For me, Things that Happen was better than his full-length (which nearly made it to my Album of the Year spot (in fact, from this point on, we're rivalling the top spots there. Good EPs here)). He's worked with Hellfyre Club, of which he is a member, a lot this year, and just a few weeks ago we heard Red Wall for the first time. And even at the end of the year, these EPs are right at home. Folk-Metaphysics will be the track to smoothly lull me into the new year in the wee hours tomorrow, I swear. If we were to ask the Oracle of Delphi who the greatest rapper in the game is, the reply would surely be "Milo".

3) Sucra - Sucra

I have no idea where I heard about Illinoise-based rockers Sucra, but I'm bloody glad I did. Clean production showcases a well-refined act, and some magnificent writing, as the album progresses in a raw, Mogwai-type post-rock fashion, instrumentally marching through feelings and images. I fell in love with this EP almost as soon as I heard it (whenever and wherever the hell that was). It has dynamic range to rival an orchestra, moving from subtle guitar riffs, to great synth-powered whole-band waves.

2) Bambooman - Dulcet

Bambooman has caught my attention a lot recently, and my greatest source of woe this year was discovering I missed my chance to see him live for a while. His latest work has been the subtle and sublime Dulcet EP, the follow up to Hollowed of 2013 (that blew my damn head off). If you're into microsampling, minimal and textured dance, future garage or experimental techno, you should be listening here. Actually, you should still be listening anyway. Bambooman is an artist climbing to the peak of his game- and he isn't slowing down.

1) Helfer - Air Drops

Galloping ahead of anything I've ever heard ever, though, is the magnificent Helfer's EP 'Air Drops'. A sonic masterpiece, this fusion of production, voice, and soul transfixes and amazes. Housey yet abstract from any of electronic music's main zeitgeists, Helfer's work betrays a closeness with music and an understanding of sound. Nothing has surprised and transfixed me as much as this very EP. Noam's delicate vocals make and drive the psychedelic and beautiful storyscape behind the stark, mysterious samples and rippling synths.
