COM TRUISE Slow wave jams (accompanied by live drums) from this Ghostly International signing, aka graphic designer turned spoonerising synthjammer, Seth Haley. The sound of a galaxy cruise, back towards the 1980s, a bit like a 2013 update on the Bladerunner soundtrack, swapping Vangelis’s dystopian chimes for Haley’s throbbing, 32-bit soul. ■ Broadcast, Glasgow, Sun 14 Jul, listen at soundcloud.com/com-truise
