Over the past decade, the music of Lone has been somewhat schizophrenic, alternating between downbeat malaise and hyperactive neon mayhem. In contrast, his latest EP, *Ambivert Tools Vol.1*, finds Lone exploring some new ground: house music. With the record surfacing this week via the storied R&S label, the UK producer talks about his latest change in direction while outlining his plans for the Ambivert Tools series and his re-energized Magicwire imprint. Also joining the show for an interview is Blue Hour, a British techno producer who’s quietly built an impressive catalog of floor-focused cuts during the past several years. His latest EP, *The Midnight Sun*, is a surprisingly melodic affair that even includes a couple of ambient cuts, so the Berlin-based artist explains this intriguing evolution of his sound.
