It's a bunch of finnish-swedeish guys rapping about Saunas. Kaj "Bara bada bastu". I apologise.

She used to live in Bristol UK, but moved to the Netherlands when she decided to leave the drum & bass scene. This music was created after that when she felt she had some exploratory freedom. It seems very drum & bass-ish to me, and it's quite beautiful too. Gyrofield "Mother" https://gyrofield.bandcamp.com/track/mother

However, it’s one of my faves because it’s so vibey.

I only learned about them a few weeks ago, but this album has been rattling around in my brain basically nonstop ever since. this is the opening track

It rules. Even tho it's just 5 tracks it's difficult to choose one to showcase, but i'm gonna go with Look Alive Sunshine because it's catchy yet ideosincratic melody kinda rules. Good stuff.

An odd, sweet show, with some great technical animation. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VswibLMWYXg&ab_channel=NGKCR9EK
