Regularfantasy and Void Mirror met up at the Dance Music Workshop in Victoria, B.C. during the dog days of summer to track down the house. The music here represents some of the results: melted italo, evergreen synths, and shining energy.

Lnrdcroy – Ooze City [MH011]
Canadian deep house explorer Lnrdcroy makes his debut on local label Mood Hut. Intriguingly, title track “Ooze City” eschews the wavy, new age vibes and ultra-deep melodies he’s previously been associated with, turning instead to the world of wonky, late night acid house (think undulating TB-303 lines, hypnotic grooves, distorted electronics and hissing cymbals). Those seeking more pastoral pleasures will love the heady ambient house electronics and spaced out bongo lines of “Aquabus (Plaza Of Nations Dub)”, while the delightful “Kali Yuga” recalls the dreamy brilliance of his 2014 classic “Sunrise Market”, whilst moving further towards the tribal intensity of traditional African drum recordings.
House Of Doors / Kinetic Electronix – Bicameral Mind / Astral Kin [FT019]
Future Times is proud to present Vancouver’s Mood Hut crew. House Of Doors delivers ”Bicameral Mind,” an evocative excursion between nightclub shade and inner-visions, featured here in a collaborative style with Maxmillion Dunbar on the mixdown. Drums jack metallic like hammers and bump like pillows around the lush keys. The B-side belongs to Kinetic Electronix, and their cut ”Astral Kin” which works up a sweat right away with full disco classico production before storming off in a puff of steamy Murk’d-out groove.
