Perc & Truss at Soenda. The  London-based techno collaborators’ driving set from Dutch techno festival Soenda.  Stream or download above.

Xosar conjures a cinematic narrative out of quasi-ambient analogue synth lines, hard kicks, unique percussive grooves and voice actor samples lost within layers of echo and reverb. She recommends this mix “if you’re in a weird mood, dark and intense, and are looking to match this mood.” Stream or download below.

“Free Jazz” is a recording of a remarkable improvisatory session that took place between a selection of artists, one being ex-Hype Williams man Dean Blunt, in Dalston’s Cafe Oto on the first of this month. At just under an hour long the set’s highly dynamic transitions blaze through moods, spaces and textures. Stream below.

LV soundtracks your journey. London’s underground bass duo LV combine their influences into a musical journey to soundtrack your real life journey. According to the duo: “Moving through the city with headphones on is one of the best ways to hear new music. It’s also a good way to add pathos to an otherwise mundane trip.” Stream below, track listing available here.
