Bandcamp Picks

Doktor Duff – “Ethereal 303”

Doktor Duff strips things back with “Ethereal 303”, a hypnotic acid-tinged track driven by rolling sequences and subtle movement. Minimal, trippy and quietly intense — a strong nod to Bristol’s underground techno lineage.

Trem 77 – “Refracted Reflections”

“Refracted Reflections” leans into textured electronics and abstract structure, blending ambience with fractured rhythm. It’s exploratory and introspective.

Coalessant – “Shadow Circuit”

Coalessant closes the week with a dark, pulsating electronic cut — brooding synth work and cinematic edge.

Spotify Drops

Mesh – “Exile (Single Edit)”

A refined, club-ready edit from Mesh, sharpening the emotional edge into a focused electronic statement.

Hoax – “Care 4 U”

Smooth late-night DnB with emotional weight and rolling drums.

Brain & Speaker Louis – “Riot Funk”

Gritty, high-energy breakbeat chaos built for warehouse systems.

Teej – “Murk”

Deep, shadow-toned DnB focused on restraint and mood.

Bobby Burr – “Atopa”

Hypnotic electronic track built on meditative textures.
