Led by their ringleader Tobacco, Pittsburgh-based outfit Black Moth Super Rainbow have been blowing minds and captivating ears with their woozy, disorienting, analogue-heavy psych-pop jams over the past 15 years. Last month they released their 6th studio album Panic Blooms on their own label, Rad Cult Records, adding another dark and hypnotic entry into their deep catalog. Their exclusive guest DJ mix for Midnight in a Perfect World is a hypnotic showcase through fuzzy ambient pieces, blown-out instrumental hip-hop, dreamy psych-pop, gauzy slow-motion analog-funk, and more, all beautifully held together by a love for warm textures, cinematic vignettes, and fresh beats.
