JLIN, CARIBOU, MOUNT KIMBIE + VEGYN lead off this edition of ABSTRACT SCIENCE with JOSHUA P. FERGUSON + HENRY SELF. For the first hour, JOSHUA’s set navigates slo-mo techno, footwork, ambient + ambient jazz. For the second half, HENRY turns his attention to mellow psych and downbeat soul before upping the tempo to survey the latest strains of underground floorfillers. [aired 11 April 2024 on WLUW-Chicago 88.7FM]
