Dean Valentine ~ Ventricular Beats
With much of the Northern hemisphere sweltering in at times overwhelming heat, an intense electronic set inspired by a desert makes a fitting soundtrack. Oppressive and kinetic, Ventricular Beats is derived from the soundtrack to a 2016 film, Tiger Raid,

Precocious Mouse ~ Virginia Creeper
Virginia Creeper‘s hisses are an invasive presence, souring air and constricting oxygen. Ringing with the shrill clang of an alarm instead of a polite purr, Virginia Creeper‘s continuing hiss is a communion, a slasher in line with the Scream series or Point
