The Blackest Ever Black-affiliated purveyor of post-punk and dark wave-infused techno steps into our Los Angeles studio for a DJ set.

Camella Lobo’s music as Tropic of Cancer is shrouded in expertly crafted darkness – an odd fit, perhaps, for the sunny locale in which she’s making it. But the sound she’s tapped into – a meeting point between post-punk, synth pop and techno, backed up with Lobo’s ethereally processed vocals – feels universal, and her releases for labels like Blackest Ever Black and Downwards have earned her fans well beyond LA. Laying low since 2015’s gorgeously synthetic Stop Suffering EP, Tropic of Cancer has reemerged this year in the form of collaborative tracks with Ancient Methods and Ike Yard. In the studio with the Bunker’s Bryan Kasenic kicking off a week of broadcasts from LA, Lobo will give us an update on what she’s got cooking, punctuated by selections from her record bag.
