Buy Music Day, July 2026

It’s the last Friday of the month, time to buy music.

It’s been a while since I put together a list of what I’ve found, what I’ve been listening to, and what music I’m buying. A few months ago, a friend asked me to come out and tag team at a DJ gig, and I’ve been playing out just about every week since then. I’ve got a lot of much music going through my inbox, and I feel like I’m long overdue to put another list together.

Instead of three reccomendations to buy this month, we’ve got nine. With a 10th Name Your Price remix from syntrovert that’s guaranteed to get stuck in your head. This month’s list features some brand new tech-trance, synthwave, and hardgroove for the club, and a few darker and more introspective releases.

Here are my Bandcamp selections for July 2026.

Featured

Liminal State
by Lavion on Ritmo Fatale

A huge new EP for Lavion on Ritmo Fatale, featuring four bolts of electric tech-trance and dark synthwave. A late night drive of charged, incandescent synths, kinetic percussion, and vibrant basslines. Every track on this EP is great, and each has it’s own mood and momentum.

Favorite tracks:

  • Track 2. “Scalar” – Absolutely massive. Mysterious synths and high energy night music. Building, transforming, and dropping into thumping tech trance.
  • Track 3. “Psychonauts” – Dark synthwave and progressive trance; with a belted, steadfast, sythpop vocal. An eternal track.

Fuma M.
by Peterblue & Gaby Roket, Self-Released

Fuma marihuana, con todos tus panas. A new single from Peterblue stacked with two versions of a total rework of DJ Yirvin’s oldskool track. Pumped up with hardgroove percussion, and a latin rap about smokin’ weed. The club version is a bit harder and get’s straight to the kicks, while the original mix feels like party track. It also makes a great acappella. Love ’em both. ¿Fumo qué?

All Things Broken
V/A on Rhythm Büro

Ambient, deep techno breaks, and gentle breakbeat IDM from Ukraine.

Favorite tracks:

  • Track 3. Radiant Futur’s “MetaMorphoSys” – Pulsating dark house, spaced out atmosphere; with a beacon of bright acid basslines burning through.
  • Track 9. Volodymyr Gnatenko’s “Granite” – Deep, cinematic, flowing. Melancholy, waxing, and transcendent; with ambient breakbeat IDM and ghostly, uplifting synths.
  • Track 10. Orion’s “Cold Harbor” – Distant and dreamy. Nostalgic, ambient IDM.
  • Track 5. The Sailing Oysterman’s “Run Deep and Long” – Delicate, immersed ambient breaks, with flitting IDM melodies.
  • Track 12. Na Nich’s “Ocean” – Steady and progressive. Deep, shuffled, dark house and breakbeats.

Name Your Price

Valle de los Espejos (syntrovert Remix)
by Los Wawis & syntrovert, Self-Released

Man, you bet this got stuck in my head.

A lifted and vibey version of an original by Los Wawis, that’s been remixed into a dreamy, multi-part, ride that unfolds over 8 minutes. Groovy, meandering, playful. Progressive, deep tech-trance, and sauntering breakbeats.

New York City Sunset, July 2026

Shortlist

Wired
by Pablo Bozzi on Second Sight

Buzzy, big-room, acid, tech-trance. Dark italo, and 90s acid house. A great EP with energy for every party.

Favorite tracks:

  • Track 1. “Just Passing” – A buzzy, rolling, acid house and italo track, with a glint of 90s rave, that has a whole second act after the drop.
  • Track 2. “Wired” – Progressive, rave, and tech-trance; with soaring builds and lifted and energetic breakdowns.

Μασάτι
by Sunday Drive on Vives

Heavy, immersive, immense. Dark industrial techno, martial, driving and sinister rhythmic noise.

Favorite tracks:

  • Track 2. “Ο_τι μπορείς II” – Churning industrial techno and rhythmic noise.

A New God / Digital Ruins
by Boris Divider & Umwelt on New Flesh Records

Favorite tracks:

  • Track 2. “A New God (Umwelt Remix)” – A new take on the original with an electric sonic texture.
  • Track 1. Boris Divider’s “A New God” – An interdimensional message delivered with a massive bombardment of electro breaks.
  • Track 3. Umwelt’s “Digital Ruins” – Cavernous broken beats and ritual industrial, with a melancholy synth lead and a fading vocal sample.

Clergy Splits [03]
by Cleric & Mold Boutique on Clergy

Favorite tracks:

  • Track 1. Cleric’s “Only time is ours” – Dark, heady, and deep hardtechno. Rolling percussing making its way through a moody, melancholy darkness.
  • Track 5. Mold Boutique’s “Pulsar” – Pitch black, minimal hardtechno, with sequencing beamed in from the outer orbits.

Drum Signals 5
by Chris Husky on Hooj Choons

Favorite track: Track 3. “Party Vibes” – A dark, techy, house groove. Punchy and uptempo, with a hazy vocal sample.

Torna in te
by Alfa Cornae, Self-Released

Speedy, rough hardgroove and hard minimal techno. A stampede of muffled, frantic kicks & phantasmal basslines; spliced with dialogue from the film Deserto Rosso.
