Picks Of The Week:
- Mexican minimal synth wave project of Rogelio Serrano, EQUINOXIOUS “Detonación” from the new EP “Extraños Accesos”
Highly talented Mexican synthesist amazes once again with his pristine minimal alchemy of analog machines at the same time obscure, mysterious, poetic, melancholic and timeless.

An amazing return and an intriguing step forward for a project that has yet to fully reveal all the nuances of its talent.
