‘Russian Girlfriends EP’ by Perseus Three tracks of stunning tropical house from newcomer Perseus, which his label French Express is giving away for free on Soundcloud.

‘The Welcome’ by Pigeons An embryonic slow-build from Pigeon’s latest LP, The Welcome simmers with a low frequency, meditative buzz while pianos undulate somewhere beneath it’s membrane.
