Purelink have been described more than once as an "ambient boy band." (They themselves say "jam band.") It's not meant dismissively—the American trio purposefully mean to function as a band, even if their main instruments are laptops. Ambient might not quite cut it as a descriptor, though. The group's music crosses eras and scenes, touching on the late '90s clicks & cuts boom as well as the billowy ambient techno put out by labels like 3XL, West Mineral Ltd. and NAFF. 

Their most recent LP, Signs, released on enigmatic imprint Peak Oil (and one of our favourite albums of 2023), is especially impressive, made of stuttering rhythms and glassy textures. In other words, it's ambient-not-ambient. While members Concave Reflection, kindtree and Millia have all made excellent music on their own, something special happens when they come together.

Purelink's RA Podcast is another stellar contribution to our post-New Year's tradition, where we highlight a more laid-back sound to soothe weary minds and frazzled brain cells after the heavy holiday celebrations. This is 90-plus minutes of intricately textured downtempo, dub techno and even UK garage, all cut through with a floaty, almost drowsy quality, with plenty of exclusives and unreleased cuts from the likes of Nick León, James K, Downstairs J and more. It highlights Purelink's position as a bridger of worlds, sounds and tempos.

Brian Leeds has spent a decade exploring electronic music’s murky corners under a range of aliases – from blown-out house and ambient to deep-fried trap and drill. As Loidis, he released one of 2024’s best albums, the minimalist dub techno LP ‘One Day’. 

Now, returning to his primary @huerco_s handle, the Philadelphia-based shapeshifter records a two-hour mix of rhythmic psychedelia for DJ Mag's Recognise series, and speaks to Michael McKinney about his family ties to the Jersey Devil, growing up in bands, his West Mineral Ltd. label, and learning to slow down.

Yumi’s dawn spell builds slowly casting a spectral echo calling us into her world of sound. Far off angelic vocals beckon the listener to the shores of what’s to come, before being rewarded with a jovial horn melody that builds into sincere sub-bass leaving you hooked for more.

BEST WITH 🎧🎧🎧 HEADPHONES

✨🎶Imagine you are standing in a mystical space, surrounded by burning candles, exotic incense sticks, and music that puts you in a trance. A deep calm and presence permeate your senses as you prepare to participate in a unique ritual dance journey. Slowly, you begin to move your body in harmony with the rhythmic heartbeat of the music. With each step, each turn, and each expression, you dive deeper into your innermost self, releasing old emotions, blockages, and thoughts. You feel a weight lifting off your shoulders and you begin to feel light and free.
As you continue to lose yourself in the dance, you feel a connection being established to the cosmic energies and forces of the universe. You feel as if you can see the stars, traverse galaxies, and sense the infinite wisdom of the cosmos. You realize that you are not just an individual being, but a part of a larger whole that envelops you with love and light. In this moment of unity and connectedness, you experience a profound spiritual encounter that makes your soul sing. You feel divine, filled with an inner harmony and a deep understanding of your own existence. You recognize that you are at home both in your innermost self and in the cosmos, and that you are one with everything that exists. After losing track of time and falling into a deep state of ecstasy, you slowly return to the space, enriched by the experience of the ritual dance journey.
You feel strengthened, renewed, and inspired, with a new understanding of yourself and your connection to the universe. This soul-spiritual experience will continue to live within you and accompany you on your spiritual journey.🎶✨
