Dreaming Tiger does what it say in the box- first person exploration of a luxuriant jungle, layers of green across which you slide like the ghost of wind, dodging high definition pits of light where the sun stamps it burning foot, hallucination of seeing yourself from the outside as a powerful beast raising its head at the sky, light reflected in your eyes and muscular silhouette delineated sharp for a second before you slide back into your body and return to the chase.

Wake up you, human you, under the protective canopy of this mighty jungle, the fire has burned down to its last cinders, everyone sleeps, you scan your surroundings dazed and, as you stare into the darkness where you were advised not to go, you see that face framed in emerald staring at you majestic, massive eyes glaring like two coins of gold that pay for the quarry’s transition across River Styx. It steps back into the darkness, you are forgiven, and you will never forget.

Arthur Russell riffs and percussive house with a contemplative twist, what’s there not to love? Slava rules. Check Moment Sound for some hot releases.

In Permutation City, Greg Egan describes a universe outside of space and time computed by the externally expanding power of self-replicating Von Neumman Turing Machines, a tide of white cubes digging their tendrils into a void they reclaim for a dynasty of software copies of humans that will live forever to become anything they want, to eventually face aliens evolved from the molecular seed planted in the schematic of a planet by a Autoverse hacker, encountering The Other is an important milestone of their mindblowing odyssey.

Yep, least they become bored they have built into their universe the possibility of an alien race emerging from a set of initial conditions established in the template of their universe, and emerge it does, insects which communicate through a collective dance, developing explanations of the cosmos which, by challenging the principles on which the universe of which they are part was created in the first place, destroy it.

20jazzfunkgreats don’t need any drugs to trip their balls off. This is the rhythm of their hallucination.

Soft Rocks- Leave Your Earth Behind (Roots Unit Goodbye Earth Remix)

If Delia & Gavin’s Rise was the metronomic stomp of the hooves of a Pegasus accelerating across empty Martian expanses, then this Roots Unit remix of Soft Rocks’ is the symphony through which the synaptic connections of an alien hive mind reconfigure to assess whether this beast approaching in the distance is friend or foe. It’s a friend. Let’s dance.
