Josh Rathburn is a Northern Massachusetts-based electronic music producer best known as Lomotor. Drawing comparisons to Boards of Canada and JOVM mainstay Rival Consoles, and inspired by hills and valleys of his rural surroundings, Rathburn’s work sees him blending modular and analog synthesizers with found sounds and early childhood cassette recordings to create songs that often feel like a scratched and faded memory of a melody heard long ago.
The Northern Massachusetts-based producer’s latest single “Bee In A Bag” is a hypnotic song featuring dense layers of oscillating synths, skittering beats, bursts of spacey feedback paired with a motorik-like groove. While seemingly recalling LCD Soundsystem‘s 45:33 and The Chemical Brothers‘ “Star Guitar” the new single manages to be trippy yet club friendly.
