Gorgeous dub-techno sonics and hazy atmospherics a-plenty from dextrous Spanish producer How to levitate. While very hard to pick a favourite track, ‘Frozen Lake’ just tips it for us, with its arching widescreen storyline and overlapping sprinklings of melody.

Promising producer Empirical Distress lays down 6 tracks of crafty, no-nonsense early morning techno and ambience in this new EP for Artscope. ‘Poverty Blues’ works a metallic ring-modded synth stab to build a stone-cold vibe. Reminiscent of the post-minimal era Berlin classics on Fachwerk Records, this is urgent dub-techno for discerning dancefloors.

A long-serving member of our community, Daniel[i] keeps on delivering the goods. Alongside Olorun's excellent percussive trips, comes the Whispering Signals boss’ version, twisting dub-siren delays and alien sound design into a beguiling, tribal workout in a category of its own.

Another Formaviva exclusive this month, Inland’s Counterchange imprint issued a real synaptic stimulator in the form of this collab with Parallax Records co-founders Pharaoh and Yogg. The stomping modular rumblings of ‘Filiformis’ push hard at the apex; its chattering high-end awash with morphing textures in a surging future-acid banger.

An industrial battering ram, patiently flexing its muscles at 109 bpm, Karim Maas’ rework implants his molten, overdriven analogue sound in style. Precise bass work and distorted tape delay trails are glued together in a stand out cut from the UK soundsmith.
