Hopefully you spotted the latest Pingdiscs release, Freeclimbing Volume 2 by Mint Deluxe.
Volume 1 got a lot of love and enthusiasm, making many happy, so it is great to be able to bring you Volume 2!
You know what to expect: deep, sonorific, ambient sound worlds. Perfect for these long sunny evenings.
You can grab both volumes here:
Mint Deluxe at his best!
Also, we are hosting the launch party for Volume 2 on Thursday the 14th of May at 20:00 UK time, so come join us for chat and the first exclusive listen through to the blissful music!

See you there!
It's a UK Bank Holiday weekend! It's May! It's sunny! It's hot! It's Bandcamp Friday!
The World Snooker Championships are on!
What's not to like?!
Not only that but the Snooker Loopy Podcast, which is covering the World Snooker Championships every day, is also review one track each day from the Pingdiscs compilation 'Where's The Cue Ball Going?', which is raising funds for their favourite charity.
It's funny hearing what they make of it given their self-confessed complete lack of knowledge of electronic music! They do love some of it though! We love all of it! 14 absolute bangers in memory of the late great snooker commentator John Virgo....
If you haven't grabbed it yet, then now's the time, right in the heat of the biggest snooker tournament at The Crucible theatre.
Then, in sunnier vibes there's the truly blissful new Mint Deluxe, Freeclimbing Vol1. Perfect for this special weather; this special long weekend...
Both available from us here:
Have an amazing weekend and enjoy the music!
Cheers
Rich Myoptik
BIG thanks to all of you who joined us last night for the launch of the new Mint Deluxe release Freeclimbing - Volume 1 on Pingdiscs, it was so heartening that every one of you in attendance was so enthusiastic about its serene ambient qualities. The word beautiful came up in the chat so many times!
Amazing how it got us all chatting about how this unsettled, war-torn world really needs music like this right now - who would have thought one special musical release could lead to such deep reflection on what it is to be human on a chaotic planet!
For those of you who missed it, this release really does provide the perfect musical tonic. As was said in the chat, turn off the news, put on Mint Deluxe, and feel the deep restoration....
Truly a beautiful collection, so if you haven't got yours yet then grab it here:
Time to reclaim life through music!

Maybe if you find the long lost snooker cue you can afford to buy our tribute compilation to the recently lost legendary snooker commentator John Virgo, which is called 'Where's The Cue Ball Going..?
It is available on the Pingdiscs bandcamp site and is helping to raise funds for the Jessie May Childrens Hospice, the official charity of the WST snooker podcast...
Rammed full of immense tunes for a good cause!!
BIG thanks to all the wonderful people that joined, and thoroughly enjoyed, last night's listening party for the new MightyPing compilation Where's The Cue Ball Going...?
It was so wonderful having you all so enthusiastic about it, we are so glad you love it as much as we do, and that you feel there is no compilation quite like it - a unique romp for sure, and as you said, so varied too.
A fitting and fun tribute to the snooker legend John Virgo who died earlier this year, may he rest in peace and enjoy what we put together!
If you missed the listening party and/or you haven't had a chance to dive in yet, then please do - you won't regret it!
All 14 tracks are now live and available here:
Pingdiscs and MightyForce allstars bringing incredible tracks, you can see the full list of artists on the back cover below....
Snooker-loopy stuff!
Cheers

Hi Folks
Hope all's well with ya'll!
Here at Pingdiscs we have a new compilation coming soon, but in the meantime you may have spotted that we have put out the Ancient Adventure EP by Myoptik.
Originally released on Diffuse Reality back in 2023, we at Pingdiscs have now re-released it in case you missed it first time round.
It features two raw and deep vibey tracks from Myoptik, plus a fine remix from the ever-immaculate Tarsiform, grab it here:
Enjoy!
