Dystopia is closer than you think and TLXCO is letting you know through this immersive electro experience dissolving anything calcified within at least a miles range. All four tracks are as mesmerizing in the club as during a listening session. The second version of the title track introduces more distorted acid and intensifies the feeling of impending dystopia, leaving you in an eerie place in the dark. The ground is more of an acid slow burner, useful in many situations on the dance floor.
Estado De Bienestar keeps pushing deeper into sonic chaos with “La Anarquía Sónica” — a raw, proto, and visceral journey built on hand-crafted beats, deliciously unhinged basslines and immersive field recordings. Music for the restless. For those obsessed with sound. For anyone tired of hearing the same thing over and over again. Dystopian music for a universal shift. This time, Estado De Bienestar joins forces with Belgian synth guru Peter Bonne / Chayell Zenn (Linear Movement, Twilight Ritual) to rework “The Enochian Keepers of Time” into an emo-electro industrial aberration titled “Guardianes del Tiempo.”

Skyline Systems emerges from Australia with Escape Vector — four deeply elegant cuts rooted in the classic deep Detroit influenced sound. Stripped-back and refined, the producer crafts machine-driven landscapes where analog synths and drum machines intertwine with a hypnotic, subtly futuristic groove. Warm, fluid basslines, shimmering metallic chords and a steady pulse invite both introspection and late-night dancefloor drift. Minimal yet immersive, Escape Vector distills the essence of Detroit’s deep house and electro heritage while adding a contemporary sense of space and precision.

Whodamanny has been releasing colorful and evocative club compositions as part of his Periodica sublabel Biloba, and now, with ‘Onda Biloba’, the dynamic DJ and producer expands on these sounds with a full length exploration that overflows with vibrant textures of world dance exotica and paradise pop balearica, resulting in one of his most ambitious and adventurous releases so far. Recorded at his Biloba studio, the album is a sunburst bounty of groove, with downtempo jams alive with searing fuzz leads, expressive vocal interplay and seascape synth solos giving way to deviant disco in a dayglo dreamscape. Loved up lyrical spells play against Hi-NRG hedonism while sunburnt saxophones scream, and subtropical nights are soundtracked by amalgamations of sultry summer samba and blazing funk fusion. Equatorial house beats move the body beneath a pan-cultural carnival parade and fantasy flutes fly over stretches of slow dubby dream balladry while elsewhere flashes of sax, drum, and piano create a body burning fire of sweat, movement, and motion.
