Bob Moses The Far From The Tree EP Scissor & Thread I love music that sounds like this: moody, with a touch of melancholy and low-slung to the point of distraction.

Tom Trago The Light Fantastic Rush Hour Recordings Tom Trago’s third album simmers with electronic tension dancing between light and dark moments during the course of its duration.

Future Romance loops addictive cosmic synths and then intensifies the experience with swirling, haunting fx and breathy voices. A first rate production by anyone’s

Purple Disco Machine My House Off Recordings Already released, but because this is so good I just had to make sure that you where pointed in the right direction. Part of the reason why My House works quite so well is obviously the summer weather, and this clearly has sunshine blazing all over it. Besides
