Electronic producer from Mexico Estrella Semiviva comes thru with her eclectic debut album "Óleo" that blends elements of witch house, electropop, chiptune, darkwave and post punk. It sounds all over the place, but somehow works, especially with the help of her vocals sprinkled across the tracks. RIYL early Crystal Castles. One to watch going forward.

Incredible track from an amazing producer lifted from an equally dope EP. "Baby Boi" is Vidchajj's take on SALEM's classic track, here in a video format with a creepy clown kids. The song comes from "Nobody" EP which is out now on Vertigo Cult.
Afterlife is a new, enigmatic witch house duo from New South Wales, Australia. Their album "From The Edge Of The Blue" dropped last month, and is yet another example that the witchy scene in Australia is one of the most exciting places at the moment. The record consists of sever tracks that sit somewhere between SALEM's dragged productions and murky vocals ("Down The Drain", "Siam Lights" and "Endless"), and 2011-era synth-led beats with brooding atmospheres ("Cr0wz" and "Wtch"). Their music has also a unique horror tint to it, which may sound cliche for a witch house record, but it works, and is down to certain aspects of their sound design rather than trying to rely on two-dimensional effects and samples. I love the intro track by the way, something both alien and cinematic about it. Solid debut that will make me follow their future endeavours for sure.

Ethereal rap from Montoya on his new single "Never Forget About You", sampling melody and vocals from glxtiry.
Dirtr4t is now Courtney Cole and this is his new, mostly rap-focused mixtape "So Frre$h". Lean stuff.
Tropical lo-fi jams from NMS, this dude is seriously reviving the whole blogspot era proto-vaporwave vibe. "The Oasis" consists of four, 10-min long (plus minus) tracks that will invite you to surf the waves of new age psychedelia. Rippin!
