“At the end of the day, we’re just chillers.”

New York-via-Chicago trio Purelink – @milliamusic, @kind_tree and @raw_silk – record a deep and dub-soaked minimal techno mix for the Recognise series.

Purelink’s name has become increasingly prominent in recent years. The group – once memorably dubbed “the chillout room Backstreet Boys” – have spent the past half-decade exploring the deepest nooks and crannies of electronic music: fourth-world ambience, zero-gravity dub techno, groggy downtempo, baggy-eyed drum-and-bass. Is it ambient? Sure. But that's just part of the story. Call their music what you will, but it’s consistently remarkable, a slow-motion tumble of histories bound together by a shared interest in blissed-out soundscapes. In conversation with Michael McKinney, they speak about about the friendship, trust and chiller’s mentality that guided the creation of their new album, ‘Faith’, out now on @peakoil.

The 15th update to the Virtual Utopia program has been meticulously written by Naarm-based and China-born; Venus Flytrap. (@venusflyyytrap) Here she masterfully weaves microscopic spaced-out intricacies of IDM, ambient and off-kilter techno into a 66-minute audio-program embedded with layers of ethereal spaciousness and coded abstract breaks. Through this lens, the peripherals are the main focus. A mesmerizing soundtrack to cellular activity or the flashing LED’s of infinitely sent data packets- a sonic illustration of the parallels between computer science and microbiology, all coated in the hopeful gloss of a harmonious cyber-future.

Thankyou Ruoqiong for contributing to the series <3
