If you're looking for tracks to weather the British autumn, dub techno is an excellent choice - a deep, slow current that never goes out of fashion. Conna Haraway's latest EPs are proof that this genre still has plenty of talented proponents.
Spatial Fix, released earlier this year, showcases Haraway's skill at crafting hypnotic, slow-paced music. With Freon, he takes a more upbeat approach, blending dub techno with tropical trip-hop elements. However, it's the gorgeous dancehall-infused closer Patent that truly steals the show.
Meanwhile, Haraway has also contributed to the growing Short Span label, founded by Matthew Kent. Haraway's new track for the label is a standout, with Redirect and Detach displaying his skill at creating gripping, club-ready tracks. His sound design is meticulous, building deep layers into music that feels both misty and majestic.
In addition to these recommendations, there are plenty of other great tracks to add to your playlist this autumn. Peaches' latest single Not in Your Mouth None of Your Business is an awesome manifesto for queer resistance over a fist-raising electroclash beat. This Is Lorelei is another perfectly turned pop gem from one half of Water from Her Eyes, brimming with boyish feeling and a crunching, 90-second bedroom anthem about hurting someone by accident.
Dexter in the Newsagent by London pop-R&B artist Charmaine Ayoku features a cute, bumping beat as she shrugs off an unwanted relationship. Lala Lala's Does This Go Faster? is another wistful indie-pop dreamer that feels like the kind of moment that should last forever. Armand Hammer and the Alchemist's Super Nintendo showcases the incredible sampling skills of Alchemist, paired with a stunning verse by Billy Woods.
Finally, Julianna Barwick and Mary Lattimore's Melted Moon will transport you to another world - anchor yourself before listening, as their combined sound is otherworldly. Steve Hauschildt's Dividua is also worth checking out, particularly if you're familiar with his work in the esteemed kosmische band Emeralds.
These are just a few of this week's best new tracks - perfect for adding to your playlist and making your autumn soundtrack even more special.
