A pop-confessional detour from Kinlaw & Franco Franco’s scorched-earth sermonics, Pitstop 2024 is a fluorescent ballad for the disoriented suspended between memory and hallucination. Melodic, twisted, and deceptively catchy, it's a rare glimpse into the duo's softer circuitry — like pulling over on a long drive through an old satellite signal. 

Their second single from Faith Elsewhere lands with a sun-scorched home video directed by James Hankins — a hazy postcard from a road trip with the boys.

"The machine looms—it watches you from within. The finger points, but the face is missing."

Kinlaw & Franco. ATC’s original prodigal sons. A two-headed nephilim with an ever-growing tally of near-biblical performances – leaving shook audiences coughing dust for months after. Resurrected for 2025.

Those familiar know their hallowed-dogma – brimming with cyberpunk prophetics, surveillance state paranoia and rusted gothic futurism. Each chilling sermon, accompanied by a bespoke blend of crusted sonics, taut future-concrète prangers and only the finest industrial-trappist beats. 

Back with renewed precision. 11 hot-kneelers for your mental. 

On ‘Faith Elsewhere’, they lead the congregation into uncharted waters with pop-confessional, ‘Pitstop 2024’. There’s a fresh revamp of the beloved feudal anthem, ‘Crocs on the Plough’. Next, a long-fermented, yet still refreshing, kind of chamber-wave on the album’s self-titled track – and even, a touch of the devotional in the final ethereal reprise… Plus, there are plenty more teachings to be found elsewhere… 

The writing’s on the wall. Accept no false idols. Now pull up your cushion and kneel at their altar. It might just be their best yet….

@floraytw - 'Kotohiki' is part of Gravity Pleasure's inaugural release, Water Bodies: a rippling compilation of FLINTA* artists and collaborators that invites listeners into an aqueous paraworld.

Across 21 tracks, Water Bodies spans a post-genre miasma of ethereal mermaid music, cathartic flows, and glistening sibilants ~ each one an exquisite message-in-a-bottle of deep diving emotionality. Pulling from a wide-range of musical perspectives ~ field recording, lovesick ballads, shimmering downtempo, post-party comedown, and percolating ambient ~ the compilation contains multitudes yet maintains deep sentimental coherence. Like a wave crashing in slow motion, it sonifies possible ways of being, insisting on the porous, the interdependent, and the deep and unruly. Water Bodies reminds us that home is a body made of water, to which we all belong.

~~*~~

Home is a body made of water.
Remember.

Close eyes.
Listen to drips; hear voices.
What do they tell you?
Make your body a grotto.
What does it hold?

Spider’s tapestry: flycatcher.
Roadmap: net of sinews.
Lost in night forest: seek breadcrumbs.
Remember?
Body is lighthouse: shine through cloud canopy.
Body is fish: wet is all you know.

Sink deep, fly high,
stretch your arpeggio from young to old.
Remember.

-Lou Croff Blake

"Illuminotecnica is a slacker’s exploration of ecstatic techniques in sound, echoing the free-form drift of elemental flows across the motherboard. Celestial data streams. Mineral rhythms loop in cycles within cycles. A glitch pulses at the heart of the sun while the sky turns green.

What reveals itself through divergent, simultaneous patterns?
What do we hear when we let the aural flood loose?

Set it free—let it spiral inside out. From the cracked shell, new forms emerge: thought-forms, feel-forms, signal-forms shaped by frequencies we don’t yet know how to decode. Shapes that shimmer at the edge of language. Emotions without names. Visions that flicker in the periphery—half-seen, half-sensed—like memories from a future that hasn’t happened yet."

The first single 'Sucker' from Beau Mahadev's debut 12" record 'Subterra' out 31st October on INDEX:Records 

@beaumahadev

https://indexrecords.bandcamp.com/album/subterra

"INDEX:Records is enamoured to present the accomplished debut record by New York City resident, Beau Mahadev – 8-parts of dreamy vocals and wet-textured IDM-pop.

To some extent, this album arriving at INDEX:Records has been over 3 years in the making: we were first introduced to Beau’s work at GLOB in Denver (during our USA tour in 2023), at an event hosted by a dear friend, filled with lovely peeps. We were totally blown away by Beau’s performance and knew within a few minutes of their set starting that we wanted to release an album with them someday. Now, here it is: Subterra. Featuring tasty collaborations with {iii}, Uza A'amo and Yau Hei ASJ.

Vinyl limited to 200 copies. Front sleeve by Chiu. Design by Conna Haraway."

You leave her a voicemail and everyone hears it. A version of james K slides through the valueless material “real” with fists full of melancholic ecstasy. Song collapses the unending mist around us, in a world of intensity and pain, confusion and loss, like a lung filling playfully, that makes us more sensitive, opens more wounds, to lay a path for mutual mending. She plucks a coiling, gaseous halo from the air, steadying the tempest with lulling, heaven-kissed sounds, and comes as a balm to our desperate hearts with her timeless offering, 𝘍𝘳𝘪𝘦𝘯𝘥- to make some light of this gum pink fog.

Musician, craftswomen, engineer - the latest DJ to step into the Select spotlight wears many hats. Salma Baset by day, DJ Khorda by night, the Cairo-based spinner takes us on a sonic ride that travels through everything from industrial club music to glitchy electroacoustic compositions, stopping off at the kind of genre-defying sounds that Khorda credits with indirectly inspiring her to make her own music. 

The set features music by the likes of Aylu, Sega Bodega, Sharar and Mika Oki, tracks that come together to give us a window into a unique musical mind whose selections offer her catharsis amidst chaos. Check out the full set.
