Maara makes seductively uninhibited, proggy dance music. In fact, shes quickly becoming one of its foremost exponents. Barely pausing for breath between releases, Spiral 2 the Other Side finds the Montreal artist summoning divine feminine frequencies with a hypnotic, ritual-ready 4-tracker.

Some Maara productions are shot through with an almost radiant optimism, but here, darkroom throb prevails. Big on the gated vocals, Spiral 2 the Other Side achieves cybernetic sensuality through trippy,

moire-d electro, while Take the Wheel Miss Sweetie, with its driving, fathoms-deep approach, provides a direct take on the blueprint.

The Canadian assumes the role of high priestess on the flip. Forget the world is a ritual incantation for bridging seen and unseen worlds; prog house magick with shades of 90s trance utopia. Rounding things off with a tunnelling electro tripper, Doom Quest references the vortex-dwelling atmospherics of early tribal modes to mind-altering effect.
