Ever off-kilter, Slugabeds sense of humour masks an ability to uncover raw but wildly unpredictable new talent.

The producers Activia Benz imprint acts as a hub for such producers, with new signing Toby Gale making ears glisten round these parts with his latest slo-mo, fluoro-enhanced synth jammer.

New cut Air Bones billed as their most twinkly lovely release yet has a gorgeous, near 16-Bit sense of nostalgia. Alongside this, though, theres a sci-fi futurism, a sense of the hyper-real to recall Night Slugs.

All slumped rhythms and choked samples, Air Bones continually billows outwards before collapsing under its own glitter-enhanced weight. Slugabed perhaps sums the track up best: [The EP] has a dreamy feel.Its a bit like when you ridethe horse around at nighttime on Ocarina of Timeand theres no one aroundand you feel very blissful.

Check out Air Bones below.
