Set of the week comes from the imaginative German producer Benedikt Frey, DJ and founder of the Love Pain Sunshine & Rain imprint (aka Lopasura), that slowly sways through murky, atmospheric and hypnotic textured chugged by dub-washed midtempo beats and low pulsing basslines, sparsely flavoured by jazzy and Middle-Eastern spices and rattled by subdued clanging industrial turbulence, to induce an immersive journey into a contemplative, trance-inducing state of mind.

Our old acquaintance with experimental post-punkers Ascetic:, previews his debut LP with an ominous and hypnotic midtempo groove that unravels alluring bassline treachery that bounces and rattles over steadily jittery, syncopated rhythms scorched in hisses, lashes, and clanks, simmering to a boil, heightened by bright, piercing fluttering synth wails left dangerously expanding.
