Ben Bondy is an expert purveyor of diaphanous ambience and he’s never short on wares. In the past two years the Brooklynite released nearly a dozen albums, all of them essential comforts bearing subtle moods and gentle demeanors, dubby pulses and blissed-out reveries. From time to time, he’s gracefully ventured into peripheral territories like downtempo or IDM, and his collaborations have extended his sonic boundaries further: the Blessed Kitty, with Pontiac Streator and Ulla, features vocals, while his stint with producer uon as xphresh includes a celestial breakbeat. Bondy’s secret is approaching liminality not as conduit or provocative end point but as something beguilingly uncertain. It’s this recalibration of expectations that makes his sound a marvel— Bondy sells ephemerality as something irresistible. https://benbondy.bandcamp.com/
Lxv is the most prominent alias of producer composer David Sutton hailing from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Under the Lxv moniker Sutton has created unique rhythmic contraptions and processed sound environments that have been referred to as "understated, unassuming", " enigmatic" with "intentions tantalizingly elusive". Since 2014 Lxv has produced releases solo and in collaboration for Anomia, Enmossed, Warm Winters, Psychic Liberation, Umor Rex, Sacred Phrases, Soft Abuse Records and more and performed internationally and throughout the US. https://lxvlxv.bandcamp.com/
