"Brainwave"

Though glossy, conceptual beatsmith Hudson Mohawke is due to release his Chimes EP next Tuesday (September 30), the Glaswegian producer is shocking our synapses ahead of time by streaming the set's "Brainwave."

A mind-warping squelch of shifty synthwork kicks off the quick cut, but those tones end up being blanketed by the angelic calls of a choir and the deep, penetrative throb of bass. As the senses are flooded with these sounds, the original arpeggio is thrust straight into overdrive, pushing the track into an even dizzier direction.

You can let "Brainwave" strike your psyche down below, while Chimes arrives in full September 30 via Warp.
