Voltage rising in the underground: The Mystic Underground turn up the tempo and ferocity to maximum effect with this dance-floor-destined NYC synthpop clarion call — "take your lover by the hand and run." theJLM fires a warning shot at the hyper-elite with razor-sharp electronic bite, while Fused explores dystopian AI and fake-news themes with dark, literate synthpop energy. Stan Stewart drifts to the edge of ambient with hope-seeking minimalism, and Killer Haze keeps it retro with dreamy, dancey good vibes.
