Traveler, documentary filmmaker and musician Kenji Williams makes beautiful music aimed at the mind, body, and spirit. With tracks previously released through Flying Rhino and Bedrock, ABA Structure's sound could be described as progressive or trance. But Kenji steers clear of all the usual tricks on EPIC, employing electro beats, dynamic arrangements, sparse but devastatingly effective melodies, and flashes of emotional clarity, while Irina Mikhailova provides soulful, otherworldly vocals. On closer listen, Williams's original sound is more in tune with the great experimental techno of Dave Moufang, Russ Gabriel and the Black Dog. From the ambient skank of "Luna Dub" to the gorgeous tech-house of "Houseboats" and the deep breakbeats of "Yelo", Kenji unassumingly activates the imagination and takes us deep into a world of animated spirit.

Evenings At The Microscope
performed by Jerry Berlongieri (Jerry Berlongieri, 2009), 1 hour 2 mins
John writes: Jerry writes game music professionally, having contributed to the games for 'Spider-Man', 'Call of Duty' and 'James Bond'. His music is very idiosyncratic, reminiscent of the 8-bit Atari days, with lots of bleeping and blooping and plenty of good-natured energy.

Filthy Dirty
performed by Wicked boy (Wicked boy, 2010), 39 mins
Wicked boy is a wicked mix of ambient, jungle and trash trance.
The album "filthy Dirty" is a reflection on child soldiers and fashion models.
Everybody seems to be over 45 but nobody is. Shame on humanity for doing this!
Society seems to play dead. It's just filthy dirty. And I'm not being ironic.
Hey, it'...
