Minnesota, producer and key figure in the American bass music scene, closes out this alias with an awe-inspiring 40-track album. Clocking in at nearly 2.5 hours of new originals, Solis State Discoveries allows listeners new and old to navigate Minnesota’s labyrinthine imagination. A cornucopia of genres and sounds, Minnesota ends this project with a bang by presenting one of the longest electronica albums seen in quite some time.

New York-based producer duo Local Dialect shares a special tune from their repertoire with Audius! The track “Saranyu,” named after the Hindu goddess of twilight and clouds, was featured in Lane 8’s Spring 2020 installment of his seasonal mix series. However, Loca Dialect held this otherworldly deep house track close to their chest for some years before officially releasing it. Now, Audius users can unwind in this dreamy, introspective soundscape whenever they would like!

Mexican DJ and producer Momis Alanis presents an energizing warehouse techno track, “Let’s G.O.A.T.” Opening with a tension-building four-on-the-floor beat, Momis Alanis incorporates an iconic sample in the intro: the guitar riff from “Sirius” by 1980’s group The Alan Parsons Project. Often used to generate vigor at sports events, Momis Alanis sets speakers aflame with this sample. Weaving the “Sirius” sample with driving techno, “Let’s G.O.A.T.” lures ravers to the dancefloor, instilling them with a feeling of invincibility.
