Doc Sleep's latest EP, Your Ruling Planet, is her third overall and first on her home label. Written in January 2019, in the midst and aftermath of the lunar eclipse, the 5-track EP is a deep winter celestial reflection and personal realignment.
Warm and layered techno, melodic ambient, and twisted grooved out minimalism with lo-fi drums and tops are all explored on the introspective EP.

"The good doctor prescribes a subtly odd stepper that casually evades generic description."
GRIPPERS' TIPS
"Liminal knocks, smudged ambience, and looped field recordings float untethered through stereo space, creating a unified sense of otherworldliness, as the tracks veer between laid-back mystery and twitchy paranoia." - Grippers' Tips -

"Your Ruling Planet” is comfortably odd, relaxing into organic rhythms that dance hypnotically through the stereo field, gentle ambiences and field loops feathering into one another. She tells us a bit about how this came about and where she’s headed." - Peter Kirn, CDM
