Recently uncovered a delicate IDM Beauty, a 7-track mini LP with skittering rhythms, acid-electro interludes and ecstatic drum & bass arrangements, orchestrated by Sweden's elusive Lava Lap, marking his 2020 debut release on Malin Genie.

Favourite track, 'Aporia' of wobbly electro-dubby jams alongside cyber-funk keys, makes a woozy statement over choppy chords and dreamy breaks. Another hot release, 'Perfect Date Night', kicks off a strict dose of squelchy acid, powering through twisted machine electronics over strong flutters of drum programming with layers of robot talk vocalizers for the added extraterrestrial touch.

Uninhibited wizardly creations from Lava Lap, reminiscent of the much-influential days of early Aphex Twin, this one does not miss!
