abstract science podcast 1391 | joshua p ferguson + henry self

PAUL ST HILAIRE, CLOVERDALE, NIGHTMARES ON WAX + TORTOISE lead off new music from JOSHUA P. FERGUSON + HENRY SELF on this edition of ABSTRACT SCIENCE. JOSHUA oscillates between indie-electronic, ambient, deep house + jazz-ish sounds on his first hour set. HENRY picks up with a breaks-heavy set drawing on electro, techno, IDM before a late-set comedown into chillout territory. [aired 16 October 2025 on WLUW-Chicago 88.7FM]
