Second full-length from St. Petersburg-based producer jhg. Far West Synthetic plays like a third-generation VHS dream dubbed to cassette — warped, smudged, and barely holding together. It hums with interference, flickers with half-memories, and carries a narcotic glow, as if recorded deep in a dead zone where no signal gets through. Collaborations with dfyan, Silbad, and FMSAO act like pulses of distant warmth and rhythm, guiding the listener through the fog. Somewhere between outsider house, techno abstraction, and corroded ambient, the album drifts with the feeling of synthetic wind passing through leaded glass. Glitchy, unstable, but still quietly radiant — music that remembers it’s being listened to, even from far away.

Far West Synthetic

Unstable Roamer [Pure Life, 2025]

bright future

jhg - Wavecatcher-17 (excerpt)

Back 2 night

Where rhythm meets feeling — deep, warm basslines and melodies that speak to the soul. Float through waves of emotion, late-night reflections, and love that lingers in every note.
For the nights you can’t sleep — emotional deep house that feels like memory and moonlight. Every drop, every synth, every breath tells a story you once lived.
