Inbal Dushy - mdtn.codex (Naive Records)

There aren't many 12 minutes long tracks that seems like they finish too quickly but this new immersive electronic epic from Inbal Dushy slowly invites you into its painstaking sound design, ambient sensibility & pleasing machine noises like a warm duvet in winter & before you know it reality was a distant memory & you're comfortingly cocooned in its warm folds. Find him currently in the Slowtronic Playlist.

Hugh Klein - Lead The Way (Lekker Collective)

Vertical Divider

New Zealand, a bit like Scotland, really punches above its weight musically for such a small population; with an especial fondness for giving an antipodean twist to 20th century black music. So light a candle, pour your partner a glass of something nice & get cosy with the deep, low slung,  late night lovers soul of Hugh Klein. You can also find him making the first move in the Slow Soul Playlist.

Arswain - Bust (Self Release)

Although a self styled conceptual electronic composer the new track from Arswain is actually a fine slice of microdosed, alt-pop. There's an unassuming catchiness to the vocal & groove, which float over the impressively ambient electronic & warm low end frequencies before creeping up on you like a playful friend & making you thankful for the invention of the repeat button. Find him hanging out in the Slow Pop Playlist.
