label: Hypnotic Mindscapes   Cat.No: HYPM001

Toronto's Hypnotic Mindscapes offer up 4 analogue grooves for their self-titled vinyl debut. Founded by Cosmic JD and run by a tight-knit group of artists, Vol. 1 explores the liminal spaces where electronic paranoia meets 90s techno euphoria. Berlin-based Canadian Tro opens the EP with a melancholic journey into a future where machine bleeps duet with FM chord melodies. A2 sees established Ecuadorian producer Nicola Cruz, aka Fauna Extinta, submit an energetic modular outing that still retains his dramatic flair and lightness. In contrast, Berlin-based Ecuadorian Chicaiza delivers a snappy electro bomb with hints of vintage trance. Toronto's elusive live-act Payphone concludes the EP with a deep, cinematic tour of the cosmos. [info sheet from distribution]
