George Clanton's 100% Electronica label is set to reissue Digital-Dance, the obscure and transportive 1988 LP from German duo SOFTWARE. Warm, sparkling tropical island vibes, described as "the holy grail of german berlin-school balearics", so you know it's right up our alley...

GABI's beautiful, otherworldly single "Fleece" is #blessed with a thick, bass-heavy club mix by Autre Ne Veut. Just as alien and trance-inducing as the original, but with ANV's heavy pop sensibilities elevating that "chorus" into a real life-affirming, clouds-parting moment...

Tallesen's Stills Lit Through is out October 6 on Software.

Napolian's Incursio is out May 27 on Software.

The song of the year so far gets an amazing extended rework from Montreal producer Jacques Greene.

Year-end list decompression time courtesy of this soothing track from Oneohtrix Point Never, whose "I Only Have Eyes for You" deconstruction was one of the most beautiful and moving things we heard all year. "Blue Drive" originally appeared on this split cassette release, and the track also makes an appearance on 0PN's limited/sold-out Rifts 5xLP vinyl box set...
