MIX: Derlich – Quantum Chemistry II Dark Reflections
Happening across this mix quite by accident it’s far too good a selection to keep to myself. It is the work of Belgium’s Derrick Scheerlinck, aka Derlich. I came to find it whilst listening to his work following on from hearing the latest release on Singularity Recordings; his Cult of Static EP.
