Delivering downtempo frequencies bursting at the seams with chilled, mid-90s sound-scaping nostalgia, Fyretone drafts a parallel with the likes of B12, Sun Electric, Bola, and The Higher Intelligence Agency et al.

With Introvertmusic’s more robotic and chiseled tones, these are heavily processed sound-sculptures worth diving head-first into.

Catalyst doesn’t try to find the path of least resistance, instead, it takes the scenic route with decomposed drum work and broken rhythms galore.

Weldroid’s soothing and benchmark soundscapes on Portal are as relaxed as can be; a welcomed retreat we were not expecting.

Dilapidated soundscapes, broken beats, peculiar conversations, funky shapeshifting, and crunch-hop elements collide in these brisk moments cut with a diamond blade into 18 pieces.
