From the synthetic heart of the underground: Modern Ideas conjures "plastic dreams and electric romance" from a Melbourne garage — DIY Depeche Mode drama where artificiality becomes something "beautiful, strange, and forever new." LA dark synthpop trio BlakLight's Cruel - Maxi Single haunts the dancefloor with cinematic, pulsating intensity and remixes from Rotersand and beyond, while Venus Spins Backwards delivers catchy electro-industrial Technopop House from the dimensional vortex. Killer Haze drops a Terminator-inspired synth bop, and INCELLING brings vaporwave warmth with Argentine-flavored remixes.
