Some listeners might say that the inscrutably experimental music by Latvian-born, Ireland-based artist Himera (Daniil Masterov) only appeals to certain people on certain substances, but I think it sounds like it’s bursting at the seams. Himera’s music is constantly asking you to listen a little deeper, beyond the shimmering synths arpeggiated by occasional industrial techno, into an elusive realm that is always just out of reach. Inspired by Eastern European rave culture but taking on properties of a dream-world all its own, Himera’s music is made for immersion and ideation. His sophomore album, “Now I Know What Dreams Are Made Of,” is his best work yet; it is at turns shiningly optimistic and soulfully introspective. Released in November 2025 through his own label "unseelie", Himera ventures boldly into fruitful experimental terrain alongside his frequent collaborators Petal Supply and plastic pet. Definitely worth a listen with a good joint and a comfy chair.
