Electronica

The opening title tips its hand: 'Glowing Tide (Futura City Intro Rework)' by Alex O'Rion and Maze 28 is literally a reworked intro, a tide rising at 120 BPM in B minor. What follows behaves like a final set that refuses to choose between pulling the shutter down and opening one more door: Molo slows to 91 with 'Hold', Teste stretches 'Eaves' across eight minutes and, just when the descent seems settled, Tyondai Braxton snaps the curve with 'UnFS' at 160.

That push and pull is the grammar of the journey. Mid-route, Animal Collective pull Guedra Guedra's 'Drift of Drummer' into their psychedelic cosmos — a remix released in May on Smugglers Way, Domino's dance imprint, just ahead of Primavera Sound — while John Frusciante appears credited alongside Trickfinger on 'Tysch', 72 BPM of acid-tinged calm on Acid Test. The Field answers with 'In Our Dreams': 8:16 of loops at 76 that suspend time.

From Seefeel to Brigade

The back half gathers the year's bigger landmarks. 'Ever No Way' previews Sol.Hz, Seefeel's first album in fifteen years, back on Warp; 'It's You' is one of the original cuts Sofia Kourtesis wrote for her DJ-Kicks on !K7, a mix shaped by grief after her mother's death, and that tenderness shows even at 128. In between, Loraine James and Sydney Spann drag 'In a Rut' through Hyperdub, and Ranj Kaler's 'Bound' stands as the longest cut here: 9:31 that live up to the name.

The ending is a controlled landing. Leaving Laurel embrace with 'we carried one another', Tor's remix of Noe Solange's 'Home' dims the lights from Anjunachill, and Weval leave 'ON' glowing on Cercle before Brigade switch off the booth with 'Unlimited Dreams Corporation': 71 BPM in G-flat major, nearly fifty beats below where we started. The party doesn't end; it dissolves.
