VALDEZ, LOKUA, MECÁNIKO, MUKQS, NORFIK, RICHARD HOLHBURN + SLIKBACK are highlights of this ABSTRACT SCIENCE podcast, hosted by CHRIS WIDMAN. WIDMAN kicks off the 28th season of broadcasting with a program featuring favorites from the end of 2024 + a round up of Chicago-related releases, bookended by a hat tip to the late great DAVID LYNCH (RIP). The first hour is a mix of techno, electro, breakbeat + left-field drum n bass/jungle/hardcore/footwork. Hour two descends into downtempo, cosmic jazz, experimental electronics + dub.
