The young, yet productive netlabel Santon Records has announced an important compilation: "Crystal Waves." It showcases a wide range of artists working in future bass, trap, fidget house, and similar dancefloor styles.

Four recordings from opposite ends of the Russian landscape draw a parallel between "sonic hypnosis" and hallucinogenic mushrooms. Life in a distant town, it seems, aids that sensation of dropping out.
