Some intense BOC vibes on this MIDI Janitor track. Will need to investigate this artist.

Exactly. It's the Boards of Canada record we've been looking for... from a producer in Canada!

Always happy to share some heavy reccs! Dang, Sun Araw sounding very different here from what I'm used to.

Diggin' as always. Nice pulsing goin' on. A suggest for some future "best of": "Top X best things totally forgotten about for just ages that we finally got back to and TOTALLY BLEW MINDS (again). "

Warmduscher are super fun. Caught them a couple years back and they're coming back to town this spring. Been meaning to give the new album more listens!
