Hyperstory leads this episode with a track from their new album.

This episode begins with a couple of great, chilled vocal tracks — first, from Hyperstory, who’s just released their debut album (also titled “Hyperstory”) in November. Following that is the trip-hoppy Screenatorium, who’s been featured before in this podcast series. Next up is Evan Bluetech, with a brand-new track that has a slightly balkan feel to it — from his new EP, “Call of the Wild.”  Then we slow down a bit with Global Journey’s “Acquiesce,” from their series of themed music releases.

And what follows after that is a mélange of cinematic beats, dub, fusion, and rich headphone music– some whom you’ve never heard before in this series, and new tracks from old friends like Cardamar. Enjoy!
