Various 2

On its Various 2 compilation, Altered Circuits returns with a gripping four-track selection by an equal number of distinct-voiced artists. Perrax En La Calle sees tINI merge sturdy drums, arpeggiated basslines, and ominous synth work. Up next is Ionic, a fusion of quirky, pointillist hooks driven by 909 kicks and a sub pattern. On the flip side, rising talent Desiree Falessi joins with the peak time Scandal. Closer Flex features a sharp arpeggiated bassline that funnels through misty, LFO-steered synths.
