“Moody downtempo breaks and gorgeous synth lines!”
From the darkness, electricity breathes: Cathode Ray Tube's Suono Y Oblio moves the tiredest souls through heavy rhythm and low-lying drones — "a rebirth through a chasm of noise" — while Stewart Keller's Inky's Sleep OST scores a haunting 2D horror-adventure through dark dreams and otherworldly creatures. Children of Osiris' Abramelin 11 conjures sonic invocations where names become sigils and the archaic mutates into the futuristic, and drexgod's Vinculum Universale tears through ambient jungle and breakcore. The Darts' Eventual Happenstance delivers punkery forged under pressure, while c a r d i o g r a m's Headland spins a Catherine wheel of synthetic and organic sound — a coastal soundtrack for escape.
“Relentless, overdriven instrumentation with echoing, emotive vocals to create a piece that encapsulates the raw melancholia one associates with holding onto something that one can’t hold onto anymore”
“Downtempo experimental electronic created with only guitars and zero effects of any kind”
“A raw, underground club track fusing driving tech house and classic 303 acid grooves into one high-energy anthem.”
“A found voice that never finishes its thought — dub for a body that won't sit still.”
