Taken off his Anticon album Technomancer, Pictureplane presented us with the Guy Kozak video for “Joyrider” that follows Travis Egedy everywhere from yellow painted spaces to automobile junkyards. In between cars getting smashed and VCR distorted effects; we see Travis riding off into the future cities of tomorrow that are designed by Egedy’s own manifested post-physical phenomenons.

New York’s Field Trip took us on a mystery thriller tour on “2 NY” off their upcoming album debut Horror Vacui (translated to mean “fear of empty space”) available November 11. The soundscapes of Noah Champ are like alternately understood soundtracks that sound as if a thousand long players were melted together like molten, bubbling wax.

Deep Dark Blue busted out some deep prog. house textures for after-hours events with “Been Here Once Before”. The disco familiarity brings about illumination for late night dance parlor destinations.

Kisos is a Bay Area by NYC artist who presents the symmetric musings of “Symmetry” that bridges together both halves to make a whole & wholesome & codified sound. Donating proceeds of the single to SF’s Queer Lifespace, as the song move beyond the delusions of doubt to self-actualized realizations of earnest inspirations.

Here to satisfy all your neon-dipped dreams is Heartracer’s “Dream Girl” that brings back the 80s as if the 90s & oughts were a figment of our collective imagination. Siblings Chip & Chris Cosby tap into a sort of synth-pop futurism that flies with reckless abandon and electric beauty that will make an instant appeal to your own system of senses.

Teodora Retegan & Andrei Bobis are ZIMBRU who descended from a celestial star that they described in their own cryptic words of something to the effect of; “Our home planet is all about synths, drum machines and ice-cool vocal melodies. After years of making weird psychedelic music we’ve put our silver shoes on and now we’re dancing to chic beats.” ZIMBRU wasted no time in capturing our attention with their “Pwretty Woman” that bursts like synth-propelled supernovas in a kind of galactic-glam aesthetic that is ripped from an aloof fashion-art walk off from another dimension. Keep all ears tuned to this duo for further cosmic pop treasures.

Toronto’s Pyramid Tropic dropped their live video for “My Destroyer” that paints our own selves as being the very destroyer of worlds in a storm of emotive vocals, synths and steady rhythms. Amid a blaze of flashing lights, projected visuals, and more that bring their Confidence Emperors released single to vibrant visual life.

Check out the lane switching evening rhythm rider from Allday with “Sides” ft. NYNE that discusses the ramification of switching sides and the like in what feels like a pensive cruise down a futuristic freeway.

Ritual Howls just released their single “Park Around The Corner” via felte, that creates a stern nu-goth electro-necronomicon to entertain your most brooding fantasies and flights of doom-gazing fantasies. Ritual Howls channel their primal yelps & screams into the abyss vortex like a widening gaping sinkhole that swallows all matter and all organic items into a whirlpool of who knows what.

Peep the Lucky Dolphin video for Teeth & Tongue’s single “Dianne” directed by Matthew Cribb & Bree Carter that captures the group rocking out at home in confined room spaces while having an all out great impromptu great time. Seen jumping & bopping about to their own catchy hooks while packing as many people into one bedroom as possible; look for T & T’s forthcoming self-titled album available from Dot Dash / Remote Control Records this September.
