You may try to fight the urge to lose yourself in the music but trust me, before long you’ll be jumping about to this track.

#5 White Gums

In a genre that may seem over saturated at the moment, White Gums take a different approach to the game, as their ambient sounds harmonise with a responsive visual show. Through a combination of carefully calculated algorithms and projected visuals that respond in real-time, what is achieved is a delight to the senses. Without trying to overload you with samples layered upon samples, the purity delivered comes across as therapeutic.
