Xenoscapes

Xenoscapes (Benny McGrigor), an Australian psytrance producer, makes his formal debut with The Hive Sanctum, a full-length album released on German netlabel Glitchy Tonic Records. The vibe is deep, dark, moody, and minimal—an alien dreamtime populated by fantastic mechanical creatures creeping and crawling through the prickly undergrowth. Sparse, sprawling rhythms lay the foundation while eerie, brooding atmospheres set the tone—now it is up to the human mind whether these sounds can fully take form in this world. Mastered at Anti Logic Studio, Berlin.
