After another long hiatus, BEAM is excited to present the vinyl debut from rising star and nebulous neurocranker, al dente. Over 4 tracks, ‘Running and Falling Over’ captures the stylistic fluidity we have come to know and love from Naarm/Melbourne. Ever present traces of Dozzy refract through millennium-bug tech-house, summoning atmospheres of deep yet ever playful psychedelia. Opening the A-side on ‘Ripple Effect’, pulsating drones and echoes of organic percussion slither through the undergrowth. ‘Soft Steps’ explores fractal resonance amid expansive, evolving textures. Flipping to the B-side, ‘Unfold’ melds paranoiac psy with a wiggly tek swagger. Slow-burner ‘Blue Trial’ closes out the EP – a proggy roller for the eternal sunrise.

BEAM is excited to present the long-awaited debut EP from South London mainstay, Rudefood. Across 4 tracks, the listener is welcomed into a radiantly eccentric habitat, in which freakish prog, entrancing breaks and wiggly tech are fused together with a unique melodic sensibility. The title track ‘Cloud Hop’ moves with a terrace-friendly bounce, in which pulsating sub lays the bedrock for a fluidly evolving lyricism. The cascading synths of ‘Undercurrent’ trawl the nether regions of tempo, teasing agents of higher intelligence from their slumber. On the B-side, ‘Without a Trace’ matches pastoral psychedelia with stuttered breaks, channelling multiple U.K. auralities. To close, ‘Shift’ sees rolling, crunched out throbs emerge from surging swirls, flirting with the thresholds of disorientation.

Topping off another slow year at Assistance HQ, Mr Assister channels some slightly darker shades for the second release on BEAM, aimed squarely in the vague direction of the dance floor. In 'Masonic Forest', a rabble of delirious bongos get blown off course, trudging endlessly through the tangled grounds of the grand lodge. Down below on 'Jordan', drums pound incessantly and chants echo from the murky distance, valiant but ultimately inert on their futile march to nowhere.
