Karma Fields  |  Build The Cities (feat. Kerli) (AC Slater Remix)

Indie vibes on this one as Tei Shi's sweet vocals drop into a dense, atmospheric beat scene stomp that's all pretty and underwater. Fine work from the Color Station boss, who'll be debuting in Brooklyn at The Palisades on June 20. This one's a free download.

Bay Area badman Fritz Carlton comes outta nowhere with a 3-track EP of markedly West Coast weirdo house. Elsewhere on the EP is a collab with recent NFTU featuree Ghostea, but we've got the premiere of "The Heat" with Smalltalk, a six-minute, laid-back shuffler punctuated with glitchy wobbles and playful flourishes that flit above a simply, funky, and propulsive bassline.

Here's the whole EP:

Fritz Carlton & Smalltalk - The Heat

Underground UK acts Otik and Majora collide on this release on Liar's Tessier-Ashpool. It's fittingly dark and functional broken beat club music with heavy bass and hard-hitting kicks. The original is a frantic post-jungle tune, but Majora slows it down a heck but keeps up the bassweight in all its newfound atmosphere.

Otik - Witness (Majora Remix)

Some sterling acid vibes from Cliff Lothar, releasing on the ever-intrepid Omnidisc imprint. "Soul Plonk" builds with such effortless class and revels in analog tones––It shows you how much you can do with a little.
