Rad mixtape from Dallas-based producer and singer Endgames. "Fantasia 1" is like a crossover between Mater Suspiria Vision's zombie rave mixes and AIDS-3D dirge. I'm totally hooked with those five tracks, give them a spin if you like your music slower than usual.

What a treat, this three track remix EP dropped earlier this month, but only today I had a chance to sit down and check it out. Curses' "Miriam" is undoubtely one of my fav tracks from 2022, so it's a joy to be able to hear reinterpretations of said gem by Boys Noize, Kim Ann Foxman and The KVB. From techno, through acid flavoured breakbeat to new wave-friendly post-punk vibe, no weak spots here.
"Miriam Remixes EP" is available for purchase from Curses' bandcamp here. You can stream the EP below.
Úna Blue is musician and visual artist based in Los Angeles. Yesterday she released her debut single "You Will Be Mist", written and produced in collaboration with Nailbeds (half of dark/synthpop duo Youryoungbody). The two minute track blends hyperpop glam with Una's soft vocals and sets them against jungle drum patterns. Fun and fresh, definitely looking to hear more from her. You can download the track here for free.
New track from Monomorte, once again featuring vocals by Moi Saint, following their collab on "The River". "Open The Portal" is a slowly unravelling synth journey with a hellish undertone. Absolutely love how Monomorte has progressed over the years in terms of his arrangements and composition, and I'm looking forward to his next album. Full support. You can buy the track here.
Sigmund Generous is a Youtube music curator who compiled and curated this mammoth of an album, released to celebrate the third anniversary of his channel. 53 tracks of exclusive, unreleased, rare and forgotten tracks from some of the most exciting names from the hypnagogic pop, vaporwave and post-internet underground, including Sam Mehran, CH ROM, New Mexican Stargazers, Luxury Elite, Honeydrum and Suburban Twilight among many many others. The compilation costs 5 bucks, and all the money goes to Sam Mehran's family who are trying to pay for a memorial plaque bearing his name in the Hollywood Forever Cemetery in Los Angeles. This is worth every penny, so don't sleep and support.
"The Sigmund Generous Anniversary Compilation" is available here, and can be streamed below.
Wonderful mixtape from Ukrainian producer Leylandi, "Bunker Mix" is an 11-minutes long ride through ethereal spaces errupted with deconstructed club moments. Featuring tracks from Para, Miss Jay, Oklou, Softie, SUS1ER plus a DÆMON & ENDGAME collab. Awesome. Unfortunatey the mix is not downloadable, so get used to clicking the replay button.
"Dahyun" is the latest EP from Ian David's drone project Sapphic Trust. Drifting away from the more experimental approach present on the 2017 project "The Onyx Slaveship", the new EP embraces the sounds of flora and fauna, and pairs them with delicate synth ambience reminiscent of his first two "Compositions" releases. "Moon", the closing track here is the only beat driven composition, and may serve as a transition between those calmer droney pieces and the next chapter in the Sapphic Trust saga. Press play, close your eyes and enjoy.
"Dahyun EP" can be purchased from Lazed In You here, and streamed after the jump.
