Southern California producer Nosaj Thing has been in the rotation since we put him in the New Soul edition of our F2 digital magazine a year or so ago with Gaslamp Killer and Flying Lotus, among others. He just put out his Drift LP in June on Alphapup—we put up "Coat Of Arms" from it a while back—and it pretty much defines the genre we're going to call sleeprave, because you can't just go to bed and let the pulsing lights and weird drug reactions fade away. That may actually be a medical problem unique to us, but at least we have something to listen to. Further experiments in this strain of electronic downbeat are prevalent on Beat Dimenions 2, a compilation of abstractions and dream pummeling productions from Nosaj and his contemporaries that comes out on October 6th. "FWD" is but one of many strange jams on it, so check it out below and the tracklist and video for Dimlite's "Ravemond's Young Problems" after the jump.
