DJ Soulful Bliss -- with a name like that, you'd expect new age glitch but it's organic, woodsy, spacious, check out the track called Natural Instincts. The DJ sets are mixes of traditional Balkan folk song with gradually growing Black Sea froth building into downtempo grooves, heavy bass, smooth, well-rounded synth kicks and eerie keyboard washes and bells, melodies of the ney, Turkish and Roma vibes, trips. The link below is a apparently, upon closer scrutiny, not the work of Soulful Bliss alone. See the page for details

Eastern Depths IV (Various Artists)
On the darker more industrial but deep and experimental side is the compilation from Bulgaria's Mahorka label. Quite vast and often surprising jumps from grooves into abstractions and clever switch-ups, with an overall workflow that is hard to turn off unless you have difficult neighbors & thin walls. Hosting a roster of artists longer than your arm and almost all them were news to me, time to listen again.
