As a solo artist and as part of collaborative outfits, Finnish-born producer Tuomas Salmela has released material on an impressive number of dance music labels (his discography boasts the likes of 2020Vision, Turbo, and Rekids, to name a few). Next, Salmela is set to land on the Turquoise Blue imprint with the Hobo Dots EP, which will find the artist operating under his Phonogenic alias (a project which is also set to release a full-length LP later this year). Ahead of the EP’s release next week, Salmela has passed along “Mizumono,” a bonus cut from the Hobo Dots sessions. Stretched across a brisk seven minutes, the production is squarely focused on the dancefloor; a handful of squiggly synths and atmospheric textures are sprinkled throughout the track, but it is really the tune’s sludgy bassline and sharp rhythmic components that do the heavy lifting here. Salmela’s free offering can be grabbed below where a preview stream of the man’s upcoming EP (which features a collaborative remix from The Mole and Hreno) can also be found.
