Marlow, UK ambient /acid /dub /electro /house /electronic producer Ian Crabtree, aka Krabberz “Space Whispers – Original Mix” from “Space Whispers” EP

A cold heady immersion of cosmic ambience, trippy progressions and acidic droning resonances, through multiple layers of ceaselessly crisp, rattling drum programming, warm pulsing bass grooves, swirling eerie synth effects, and sweeping arpeggiated pads to explore spaced-out mind-melting sonic universes.

Russian acid /ethnic /trance /electro /breaks producer and label head Uninc “A Rhythm” from “Spirit of an Age” EP [IDA]

An intoxicating yet eerie trippy blend of Acid, Breaks, and Electro sways on an hypnotic tempo of relentless broken beats, hard-knocking crisp rolling percussions, warm bass vibrations, and heady fluting motifs of arcane Middle Eastern flavours, unnerved by taut reverberations, uncanny vocal clips and obsessive acidic ripples, to transcend the imagination.
