- Tokyo, Japan ambient /house /leftfield /downtempo /tropical producer Shota Ikawa aka IGAXX “Futur Raw” off upcoming “Here And There” EP 10″ on Macadam Mambo
Japanese producer meanders and rolls through boundless fields of electronic music, moulding heady and moody atmospheres drenched in analogue synthetic chill-out delight, laced with elements of House, Jungle, Kraut, Balearic/Tropical and ambient, recalling 90s seminal labels as Irdial Discs and Sähkö. Let’s indulge in the trance-inducing broken downtempo rhythms and deep airy pads, dancing at the same time with body and mind.

Croatia based Strahinja Arbutina‘s “Optimism Is Out To Get You” radio-show-turned-label is going strength to strength with its 7th depth defying adrenaline-fueled seismic concoction of Breakcore, Trance, Techno, Breaks, Industrial, Noise, as the title suggests, surely you will find something that will blow your mind and shake up your dancefloor.
- Moscow based ambient /industrial /techno /acid /electro producer (aka DJ VST), Stas Zavyalov “JSR 041021″ from ” SONS OF TRADERS PRESENT: STAS ZAVYALOV” album on SONS OF TRADERS RECORDS
I’m a messy person, so I’m disconnected with the mathematical precision of the enigmatic Moscow‘s electronic experimentalist Stas Zavyalov (aka DJ VST) that invariably every week drops out on Soundcloud his warped, fragmented, circular splinters mingled of Ambient. Industrial, Acid, Techno, and Electro; I guess some of those numerically titled jams are collected on Berlin-based, by the way of South of Italy, SONS OF TRADERS RECORDS‘ upcoming album, just enough for melting and crumbling your brain.
