You may have seen MyMind’s tracks posted on the weekly Wobble Wednesday column. He recently released an entire EP via Muopia Records entitled At Night, and it really takes future garage to the next level. The dissonance, the rolling bass lines and the sheer emotion it evokes are enough to put this one on the map. Even the darker tracks like “Purple Deapth” and “DubStab” have an upbeat feeling to them. Most electronic music EPs feature several tracks that hit different ends of a particular genre. Not...

Fossil Collective's approachability was a key carrier to their success in 2012. Their debut EP On and On, as well as its successor Let It Go, progressed upon a relatable vibe which transcends that of your routine dream-folk outfits.

The trap game has been heading in a more EDM-oriented direction lately: everything from remixes of electro house and trance tracks to original productions with chill and heady vibes. The once-prominent dark southern hip-hop vibes seem almost lost nowadays. I try to stay loyal to trap’s second...
![Trails and Ways - Detornar-se EP [Premiere]](/thumbs/post/320x152/trails-and-ways.png)
Much to our chagrin, in a sorry plight the highly anticipated musical fire of 2012 hit wide of the mark. The expected aces disappointed more often than not, and our beloved influx of yearly newcomers found to be less fruitful than years past. Conceivably, this flash in the pan was fault of our...
