A beautifully crafted blend of euphoria and calm, this aesthetic sound traces its lineage back to 2000s trip-hop and pop electronica. MAARA, the Montreal-born modern trance prodigy known for her work with 〈ISLA〉 and 〈KALAHARI OYSTER CULT〉, drops her new full-length album via her home label, 〈NAFF〉! The result is a highly listenable work that showcases her own vocals and ethereal melodies.

He documents his own personal experience—the breakdown of a romantic relationship—in his work. While utilizing the rumbling bass and powerful beats he has showcased in his dance productions, he employs mysterious ambient soundscapes, synthscapes, and whispered vocals to craft his unique brand of trip-hop and breakbeats. Tracks include “NV-0,” featuring beautiful string harmonies; “A Moving Blur,” sung with complete relaxation; and “Dangerous Games,” which uses minor-key synths to create a somber, downer atmosphere. It’s fascinating how the album expresses intense emotions—such as heartbreak and obsession—while maintaining a sense of calm throughout, riding on a gentle wave. Be sure to check out the tracklist!
