Back again with some grooves to get you through the weekend from those who deeply groove to those who dream.
Here are my selections:
1. DNGLS 'Heliris (Xhin Remix)'
I heard of Xhin when I was deep with my underground homies, who beyond listening to techno, also appreciates new wave and alt rock. And that's why Xhin killed this for us to go beyond the uncertainties of the future and conquer it.

2. Ultravox - Dancing With Tears In My Eyes (12" Inch Extended)
This is me appreciating new wave again but more towards bands like Ultravox and some album tracks from Thompson Twins, generally in the post disco/no-disco direction.
Teen Daze got me through times where I find myself unfamiliar emotional mix. Through dreaming with Teen Daze with the synth riffs and a little white noise/lo fi layered groove, the mind is cleared for a new direction.
When you have a mixtape with these songs around, it will be interesting to hear on a great soundsystem, where they treat such systems with great respect, allowing the systems to breathe for everyone to immerse.
