Dravier: Deep Thought Glacial River
Born from a recurring dream he made before putting the first touch to the tracks – involving “an expedition that leads into a glacier where an ancient ice metropolis lies”, ‘Deep Thought Glacial River’ casts its net far and wide; meshing bleached-out exotica with subdued prog folk tropes and teeming beds of organic noises to create a riveting sound fresco.

In Perspective: Kenneth Scott talks up his debut ‘Let’s Go Program Thomas’ EP on Vakant
In addition to the exclusive stream of Kenneth Scott’s vaporous techno reverie, we seized the occasion and went for a quick-fire chat with Kenneth as he goes into his first party memories in Iowa, the origins of the EP and its title, and how he settled in the sleepless Berlin.
Efdemin: Naïf
Let’s not beat about the bush: 2017 was far from a vintage year for the commercial mix. While all and sundry have been lining up to ring the death knell, 2018 is full of enterprising projects looking to buck the trend.
