Melbourne, Australia not-vaporwave electronic producer Surfing follows up his stellar Deep Fantasy vinyl reissue with new EP Chrome. Listen to "Real", a hypnotic, house-y collab with LA Vampires, below + download the whole EP here:

Our friends at 100% Electronica are reissuing Deep Fantasy, the 2012 record from Melbourne, Australia artist Surfing, releasing the cult favorite for the first time ever on vinyl. If pressed to categorize this thing, we'd file the record under vaguely psychedelic lite-funk/dream-pop, or the dreaded (not by us, but you know) "chillwave/hypnogogic pop" tag...

Decompress for the evening with this ethereal and hypnotically rippling new techno track from Melbourne's TUC, complete with some incredibly soothing accompanying visuals. The dream-like "4x5 83x2" is out now on 12" via Salt Mines. Thanks to Kieran for the heads up:

We've mentioned this one a time or two already, but you can now stream Mall Grab's excellent new EP, including just-released tracks "Down" + "French Girls", in its entirety below. The Sun Ra 12" is out next week on London label Church.

Preview some sounds from Australian producer Flume's "almost finished" forthcoming LP Skin:

Taken from Melbourne group Caroline No's limited No Language cassette, a lovely collection of dreamily languid, vaguely psychedelic, and loose, often improvised bedroom pop gems that reveal themselves more with each listen.

But it's all about perspective, because now that summer's faded and gone, English's wistful, sepia-toned new single "Fix" — the achingly gorgeous opening track

"Perth fantasy windsurfer" Eleventeen Eston drops his debut Delta Horizon cassette, sounding "like the soundtrack to some mythically faded new wave instructional hang gliding video" (an aside: Britt from Not Not Fun writes the best album bios around)...

Sydney's Movement drops what is probably their best song yet (although "Like Lust" continues to creep on us in the best way) in the spectral/sexy new track "Ivory". An almost ominous, Holy Other-esque vibe to this one, aside from the shredding there at the end...
