xDream is the re-awakening of the child spirit. The child spirit lives everywhere: in our memories, the corners of our emotions, moments of mischief and euphoria, and whispers in the trees. In our youth, it grew from a seedling into the shape of the internal conscience, that little voice in your head that tells you right from wrong. The debut album by Dasychira features contributions by fellow artists Malibu, Embaci, and Baby Blue, as well as live violin by Iglooghost collaborator Vivek Menon and voice acting by mirukii and daisyvoice. Dasychira completed an Asia tour in 2019 performing A/V sets with Yikii in Shanghai, Shenzhen, Hongkong, and Shenzhen before going to Seoul, Taipei, and Tokyo. xDream was released digitally on Halloween 2019 via Blueberry Records x UNSEELIE with music videos by Awe Ix, Dante Capone, Slama & Delong, and others.

Not a lot is known about Toby Smith and Blueberry Records like the mystery. Let these tracks tell you everything you need to know about the myth that is the... Secret Static.

The original freaks SES are back for another mind-melting EP called Saboteur. Completely tuned for a sweaty underground club system, the kicks in "Sounds Like" hit deeper than your typical sound-boy basslines of 2019. "Europa" is on some dystopian Kraftwerk Trans European Express tip with all the attitude you'd hope to squeeze into four-and-a-half minutes. "Hijacker" kicks off the B side with continuing paranoid themes of the SES back catalog. "Flesh Tone" simply jacks you in half and makes you throw shapes like it's 1989.

Sadaf H Nava is an Iranian composer, violinist, and visual artist whose multidisciplinary interventions include sound, video, performance, and text. History Of Heat is an eroto-intellectual retelling of a love story. It is the scholarship of heat, and the sources of its production in the body: desire, exaltation, anticipation, fear, rage, and mourning. It is a fable circulating through the nerves, pumped and distributed by its own mythologies. Through different chapters, you follow the heroine from the initial desire to love, the sensual pull which oscillates between the grotesque and sacred longing of the flesh ("L'Enfer en pleine lumière", or, "Hell In Plain Sight"), to the sudden ghostlike appearance of the "Other" (with "Apparition") as a projection of the dream. "Animal" speaks of instinct, the smell of the beloved, already the deconstruction of the divine back into the realm of the physical. The title track sings the hesitation of love, the precipice of openness, and the invitation of the contract. In "Perfection", the pressure, which keeps the relationship on the pedestal of the absolute, stunts and paralyses love. "Tiny Engine" speaks of mechanical attachment, attachment to the lover as habit, as a second nature, and the call to the other person as a magnet. In "Ditectrice", the madness and the folly of separation spawns war and confusion. "Feed Him" follows with resignation and exhaustion. "War Text" brings forth the devastation, the peace treaty and finally the metaphysical divorce. In "Guttermoon", the vita contemplativa begins, the blood starts to cool, the scene is a ghost town. "Wrong God" similarly winds down as an ode to remorse and mourning. Finally, "Cinema Verité" closes out the album with a mistrust of "reality". History Of Heat is an experimental narrative and cinematic pastiche of all original and self-recorded material. A chaotic mix of sounds, both analog and digitally produced, recalling a warlike interpersonal breakdown. The mood established by the lyrical content of the piece is meant to be demanding, enclosing the listener within a unique and compelling cocoon of otherworldly sound. The album is framed within a discursive love story which reflects larger relational problems and interpersonal traumas. Looped vocals act as incantations woven in and out of lyrical singing and spoken word. The instrumentals embrace chaos and intensity. Improvised violin and broken-down beats complement and balance the melancholic overtones which flutter above off the grid rhythms in this charged ficto-personal account.

Yo Falty why don't you do the old school shuffle anymore? What happened? Failty: "OK, held this one back from 2011. All the garage and two-step workouts I made were inspired by hours and hours of listening to Horsepower Productions, Zed Bias, El-B, Darqwan... This tune in particular inspired by Benny Ill himself. 'Ill Bent' was never released, I always held back some exclusives for my sets . . . Benny Ill remixed the track in fine style, both "Straight Up" and with a "Fat Larry" spin."

FaltyDL's second release on his own imprint Blueberry Records sees him going back to basics. Dancefloor bubbling track "If All The People Took Acid" jacks you directly into an updated acid soundscape. The tune also gets remix treatment from the inimitable Octo Octa, taking the acid squelching to an even higher level. "Flesh Of Acid" and "Scream Acid" are both designed to catch you off guard on the dancefloor, perhaps even terrify you. It's an energy thing, Blueberry believes clubs should be both safe and electrifying at the same time. Housed in a sleeve designed by Tom Simon.

XGLARE, is Jessee Egan, a Brooklyn-based producer, sound designer, and multimedia artist. Representing Brooklyn in full force on the debut record, Morph EP, XGLARE yields incredibly heavy atmospheres. "Lymph" sets the tone with an updated halcyon rave sound. "Fossa", featuring Ariadne, an opera-trained singer, immediately submits you to whisper shouting, a highlight of the album. In between more dance floor-oriented tracks, "Spore" and "Plexus", sit two sound design gems, title track "Morph" with its pounding rhythmic charges and vast reverberated rooms, and "Ganglia", which reminds of early Do You Know-era Squarepusher.
