Released on December 5, 2017 as an infinitely looping minisite and limited edition cassette.

"The latest installment in an ongoing mix series, Absent Friends Vol. 2 presents Minor Science’s take on ambient: a hyper-dense, micro-edited collage form incorporating music, sound and speech. Progressing by a series of lulls and wild crescendos, its structure mimics the volatile behaviours of weather systems; over time, an oblique but powerful emotional narrative emerges."

Absent Friends Vol. 2

Entering bunni's world is like peering into someone's diary. It's honest and vulnerable with all of her emotions laid out on the table. Launching the moniker three years, bunni started working on music as a way of helping her find herself again after feeling lost following college. bunni is one of the artists coming through the new wave of Miami's underground and has already released on esteemed labels such as Omnidisc and Juke Bounce Werk. It wasn't until earlier this year that bunni released her first fully formed project, the 'tender' EP, a colourful release which is driven by emotive lyrics covering love, lust, heartache and the loss of innocence. The EP comes at a time where we've seen poppy club music come to the forefront with such crossover appeal with the likes of PinkPantheress and piri & tommy, however, bunni is still very much in the club scene, playing at local Miami parties such as Jezebel, PROIBIDÆ and Perreo del Futuroo. Last summer saw bunni perform live on her biggest stage yet at III Points festival and with the goal to work more within the live world, bunni recently moved to NYC where she sets her sights on new challenges, looking to build a new community in the city whilst bringing visibility to the city she grew up in. 

For this edition of The Lowdown we chat to bunni about growing up in Miami and her relationship with music at that time, her motives for moving to NYC, the story behind the 'tender' EP and how she uses music as an emotional outlet. To accompany the feature, bunni has contributed our latest mix which she says "captures these feelings of excitement from living in a new city."

Sobolik is a Brooklyn-based artist whose work as a producer, DJ, promoter and label curator seeks to open dialogues across cultures and practices of modern club music. Co-heading the UK-based label All Centre alongside Simkin and DJ Pitch, Sobolik has been turning heads with futuristic club cuts on labels such as 3024, CloudCore, Woozy, and early reflex. Sobolik's world is filled with colour and hyperkinetic energy - not fitting in one box, their output reacts to a broad palate of styles across North American and UK club music traditions. Their most recent EP, “Iris”, released on All Centre in late 2021, pulls together molten digital sound design, jacking techno rhythms, and hard-hitting breakbeats across its 4 tracks. Sobolik curates a bimonthly party called inside voices, hosting vanguard minds in the New York underground—including K Wata, Despina, T.Wan, Ovid, Benbo, No Sir, Third Self, and Taal. In February, they released their third EP - Packet Loss - in a debut collaboration with Kindergarten Records, joining modern bass scene luminaries like Ayesha, Sha Ru, and Stolen Velour at Brooklyn’s preeminent home of chaotic, forward-thinking digital percussion tracks.
