Ania Urbanski

As he prepares to embark on the Check Yo Ponytail Tour with Spank Rock, the Death Set, and Big Freedia, Denver punk-trance producer Travis Egedy, aka Pictureplane, hit us with a selection of his top tracks for fall. "Here are some tracks that are at the top of my world for this autumn," he tells Spinner. "[They're] artists that are really pushing boundaries and breaking down walls, forward thinkers who are not just pushing toward the future; they are already there."

'True Love Fantasy Feat. Talk to Animals'

Unicorn Kid

Unicorn Kid is just amazing. He is just so talented and makes this effortless rave music that sounds like video games underwater, like mermaids playing Gameboy at a trance party or the way anime looks. It's simply crazy. He is down with the #Seapunk movement for good reason. Google that s--- if you are unfamiliar.

'Vatican Vibes'

Fatima al Gadiri

Fatima al Gadiri is a composer and performance artist who makes beautiful music that is really cold, captivating and futuristic. She has some of the best taste in contemporary music from around the world as can be seen by her "global.wav" column for Dis Magazine. She also records as Ayshay and just put out a really beautiful record on Tri-Angle Records. The fantastic video was made by Tabor Robak who is a part of Thunderhorse video, a group of New York-based audio/visual/design geniuses doing great things for the new underground in that city.

'Trancegender (Adeptus Remix)'

Pictureplane

This is a remix of my song 'Trancegender' by Adeptus. He lives in San Francisco, and seems to be a very mysterious person. He produces incredible music and more people should really know about him. I think he is a genius. This remix is just next level. It sounds like 1997.

'Oepss Te Hardd!'

Anti-G

Anti-G is an 18-year-old producer from the Netherlands making 'bubbling house.' It's like a bastard version of the music style that was played in clubs in the Netherlands in the late '80s, that was dancehall played at 45 RPM, rather than 33. This song comes off his new release on Planet Mu called 'Anti-G Presents Kentje'sz Beatsz.' The whole thing is seriously mental and so fun to play in DJ sets.

'Hover Traps'

Rustie

'Live at Drop Dead Festival 2011'

Sewn Leather

This is my good friend, Sewn Leather, performing at the Drop Dead festival in Berlin a few months ago. I wasn't there, but from the looks of it, it was a legendary show. I heard he broke his nose at the beginning of the set and continued to perform the whole set anyway. The dude is a legend, and one of my favorite performers in the world. His music is pure and real electronic punk music. Total grime. Nothing is like Sewn Leather, he is a total original.

'Overflow'

Container

Container lives in Nashville, Tenn., and is a new project by Ren Schofield, who has played in some really legendary noise groups in the past, like Japanese Karaoke Afterlife Experiment, Taiwan Death and Dynasty (Dynasty being a life-changing performance for me, when I saw them play in my house in Denver in 2008). Container recently just played there as well and blew my mind. Just raw handmade techno made from all hardware. So good. This is some f---ed up music.
