Melody, accessibility and ‘tentative experimentation’ are the elements of electronic music that ‘nervous_testpilot’ has always been drawn towards. Coming from an established background of creating soundtracks and sound design for video games through his company ‘Mode7 Games’, “Information Technology” is his first release on the Billegal Beats Label.

This foray into the IDM world is only natural for the UK based musician and producer, who effortlessly blends emotive and uplifting flavours with relatively abstract textures and geometric interplays of sound. Inspired by the aesthetics of retro computing as evident in the theme, the EP is a well-crafted piece of music that easily manages to crossover between the likes of mainstream house or trance music, experimental IDM and last but certainly not least, the vast and wonderful world of video games.

Moustached Sardinian DnB marauder ‘Moostatz’ releases his first two-track EP ‘Dark Sun’ on San Francisco based label Samsara Beats, which also includes halftime mixes of the two tracks. After releasing his first single ‘Reality’ on their compilation earlier this year, the exciting new producer levels up his game to give us two absolute vocal Dnb bangers that will send you into orbit. Effortlessly balancing sensitivity with intensity, ‘Dark Sun’ puts the producer’s career to an astronomical start. We expect big things from him in the future.

Unabashedly eclectic yet firmly rooted third culture artist Iyer has released his latest album ‘Farewell’, a collection of tracks that are equal parts of booty shaking as well as nostalgia. With a wide range of influences that include Tamil film music, 90s Bollywood, dancehall, hip-hop and pop, all of which are sewn together with threads of footwork and an undying love for artists like DJ Rashad and AR Rahman, Iyer has juxtaposed his varied tastes together and augmented them with his own life experiences of being a 'third culture Tamilian’ to create a sound that keeps up his own identity with the fast paced cultural changes that every generation is exposed to. All in all, ‘Farewell’ happens to a be a highly gratifying aural culture clash.
