Local Spotlight
Excise Records
SF-based Direct to Earth affiliate with three versatile releases. The overarching theme is hypnotizing dubbiness, but within that exploring a wide range of feelings. Check Max Gardner's deep house crossover "Broken Pinkies," the hard-hitting simplicity of Muon's "KMC," and the ultra-spacy Millsian "Far Star" by Milkplant.
