#1 – Rising Moon by Martin Goodwin & Infinity on Agos

Artists Martin Goodwin & Infinity return to Agos to follow up their stellar 2019 EP, with a tribute to the birth of the moon. 🌖 Pensive soundscapes are overtaken by roving downbeat percussion, before intensifying into sprawling and soaring dark techno. Plus some wild cover art. Favorite track: Coldhan

#2 – Thermionic EP by Terrace on Cyphon Recordings

Fun & funky 4-track Detroit / Chicago EP. I love how bright “Woodward” is, and “Ritual” goes all out at the end.

#3 – Summer Singles by I.E on Ismus

This new Ismus single from Glasgow-based I.E features a pair of energetic tech-trance heaters that radiate summer vibes. First, a pumpin’ trance belter on the A-side, complete with 90s pop in the breakdown. The flipside gets a bit darker with vocals, deep reverb & peppered with sharp, echoing acid.
