Smigonaut’s latest EP ‘New Escape’ brings a pleasing melodic melange and a nonchalant swing into bass music - a rather unique sound that the Boston-based electronic artist is well-known for.

Striking a highly refined balance between the experimental ingredients and a solid 2&4 stomp, this three-track trip combines exciting sonic elements in a manner that will send you shimmying across the floor and at the same time, never leave you lacking for low-end. Intelligent, sensitive, groovy and energetic, ‘New Escape’ is one of the hottest EPs to drop in the left-field neuro bass sonic sector this year.

Flore’s ‘Rituals Remixes 1 & 2’ were born out of the success of last year’s ‘Rituals’ album. These tracks are imbued with a focused and powerful reverie that bear testimony to her long and compelling career.

The dynamic French producer talks about her journey as a female musician/DJ, personal challenges, becoming the first woman in France to become an Ableton-certified trainer & going back to her musical roots. She also shares her influences and some rudimentary advice, while herself being an inspiration to all.

“After the Flood”, the sixth album by veteran Danish musician and composer Jens B. Christiansen under his primary alias 'Rumpistol', is in many ways a turnaround from his previous efforts. After a career of over 15 years, mainly in the electronic music scene, a computer screen triggered burn-out led him to reinvent himself and his music-making methods. The resulting record turned out to be therapeutic as well as artistically rewarding for Jens, as he went back to his instrumental roots and composed the entirety of this album using the piano as the musical core.

“After the Flood” has an uplifting, ethereal quality to it, yet remains tangible, almost tactile, in its use of organic, non-electronic instruments and textures. As refreshingly new this musical direction is for a Rumpistol album, it’s also somewhat familiar-sounding to fans of the artist. The melodies seem to ebb and flow, undulating around each other in that particular Rumpistol way that point forward (and perhaps even upwards, celestially), yet evoking memories of past works. “After the Flood” isn’t merely music to casually relax to. Although the album sounds very pleasing to the ear, it’s an engaging and thought-provoking listening experience.

Fabulous funkmeister Cualli is back with his unique brand of dream-funk-hop and disco-psychedelia in his new album ’Tummy Fuzz’. Here, we are witness to some exciting instrumentation like the cat-funk conversation in ‘Pleasure Treasure’, a melodic talk-box in ‘Hungry Spiders’ and a quirky vocal hook in ‘Front Door’, all sandwiched between infectious, intertwining guitar riffs with light-hearted beats bopping underneath. These whimsical electro-funk jams will most definitely befriend you right to the bone and succour you with their carefree and magnetic demeanour. During the unpredictable ride that 2020 has been so far, this irresistible bowel movement boogie is a welcome form of audio inoculation that comes highly recommend.
