Boyish Charm and Memories: Bruce, OffBeatKID, and Orange House

Charitable Sounds: Tronx, Danoizz, Nik Snake F, and Sweet Love Beatz

Understatement: Feyorz, Treize, Thy Birds, ForeverLive, and Fantom Sea

New Voices: Sasha Magerova, Nani Eva, Kate Nova, and Laura Plenkina

Quiet Voices: Alina Rostotskaya, Anna Volkova, Alina Os, and Ms. Sounday

Flights of Fancy: I-Tone, Sumeo, The Cancel, 1618, and Napo
A host of excellent glitch-hop recordings has appeared this week: all the way from the Pacific Coast to rural Lithuania. Many of them share an enthusiasm for metaphors of flight, fantasy, and family.
Precious Nostalgia: Jelly Groove, Children of the 90s, and Adam Beker
The theme of nostalgia emerges in new recordings from Kiev, Vilnius, and Babruysk (Belarus). Although they initially display a love for UK culture, these musings on the past begin to adopt a locally specific resonance.
The Alchemy of Anonymity: Beatowski, Fake Ferda, and Jahzovyi
New big-beat and abstract hip-hop recordings from three artists ponder the benefits of anonymity. Only through loss or absence can new meanings come into being. One of these musicians likens that process to alchemy.
