Two big hitters from recent weeks - Floating Points is much more bangers heavy, whereas the Midland one is a lot more conceptual, downtempo kind of thing, exploring queerness and dance music.

Helina Rice. Some if this sounds like Jon Hopkins, if he hadn’t become pretentious drug bore.

Just the same as everything else innit, but it’s “fine”.

(I am a sucker for album-oriented “easy listening” dance-adjacent stuff though)

Yeah, I had a couple of listens and absolutely nothing stuck with me. Audio wallpaper.

EP(s) rather LP but think Shygirl’s Club Shy (including the extended remixed versions) is right up there for me.

The production is so good! I’m hoping for a remix EP to follow soon enough - miss his club tracks.

So many EP’s.

Parris - Passionfruit
Verraco - Breathe…. Godspeed
Peverelist - Pulse Phase
Priori - Lexica
Deejay Veiga - Tudo e no Guetto
FKA Boursin - You Just Give In… (my fave track of the year on here)
Jump Source - Js05 (can’t recommend this enough)….

Strongest electronic year in an age.
