  • Vocal-laced drum & bass to take you on a psychedelic trip.

  • In 2009, Hospital Records featured Saint Petersburg's Bop and Moscow's Subwave in its Future Sound Of Russia drum & bass compilation. Ten years later, the duo returns to the label for Love & Other Drugs. Its four tracks are warm, psychedelic and have unusual rhythms, but it was the vocals that first drew my attention. (They're also a rare instance of a woman appearing on this almost exclusively male label.) This soothing voice enhances the melodies, whether taking centre stage ("Don't Wake Me Up") or just contributing a few lines ("Teardrops"). On "Teardrops," the synthesisers are dazzling, the highlight of a considered EP.
