Good morning. Get on down every time that we hear 'em.

Jodie Lowther - Circles & Holes
I belatedly found Jodie Lowther's 2013 work Klepsydra last year, so I'm delighted she's released something new so soon (relatively) again. Once again, it's a heady mix of floating electronic ideas and vocal experiments.

Sami Baha - Mavericks
I didn't realise this was on Planet Mu, I simply checked it cause Kuedo shared it. Dark moody instrumental hip-hop. He's influenced by trap, but and says instead of vocals he uses "complex arrangements" — I fail to see how the two are mutually exclusive, but that's none of my business. It's quite beautiful, in that fallen digital city kind of way.

Broshuda - Fatima's Dream
I put this on Tumblr but it deserves more shine. Delightful twinkly melodies abound on this release for videogamemusic. Not as weird or outlandish as some of his work, but it's beautifully charming, perfect dreamy music for a cosy Sunday afternoon.

Larks - Adrift in Floating World
Hazy Scottish electronica. Seemingly inspired by out-of-date TV music and early electronics. Not Boards of Canada. Name your price, but pay something.

Mel and Marlo - Live at Wharf Chambers Easter 2016
Cool weird noise improv thing from Marlo Eggplant and Mel O'Duhbslaine (Ashtray Navigations) as part of Marlo's spring tour.

Upfront 062: FTD
Charles Drakeford in the mix for Boiler Room. Starts off gentle, some really interesting sounds, then heads for the floor, taking in some 'Nervous Sex Traffic' while he's there.

Midori Hirano - Forest
Sublime drone and piano from this Berlin-based Japanese producer.

Dummy Mix 320 // Nightwave's Dance Mania Mix
Nightwave takes you on a trip through the Dance Mania archives. Oh what fun! Work that MFer. Work that MFer. Work that MFer. Work that MFer. Work that MFer..........

MAKENESS - 14 Drops
This is on a label called Handsome Dad. Why wasn't I consulted? I jest. It's a cool track.

In Disarray 018 - Drvg Cvltvre - Old Home Or New Home, It Is The Same Fire - Part I
Out to Tim. Weird abstract noise and drone from Drvg Cvltvre. It's the sound of my head twitching if I were actually a robot and I started to malfunction. Then it goes off down into dark, echoey caverns, down which you wouldn't want to get lost for too long.
