  • As you might expect from an artist who's touched on most styles of UK club music in the last decade, Mosca's new offcuts label, Rent, is wildly diverse. Its ninth release, Calcium Channels, follows a series of peculiar club bangers with a smudged 45-minute ambient recording. Originally created in lockdown to soundtrack Mosca's own meditation, it's a welcome chance to hear the beatless work of an artist whose music rarely strays far from the floor. While recording, he imagined "blood pumping through veins, and ventricles doing their thing, synapses firing, joints creaking, acid breaking down food, bacteria multiplying, hair on fast-fwd, pushing through follicles." It's a typically colourful description which helps to bring this grainy and enjoyably nonchalant session to life.
