Magic Fades – “Midnight Temptation$”
June 28, 2013
A couple of days ago, just before the bells tolled midnight, Magic Fades dropped a new slow jam on us. The appropriately titled “Midnight Temptation$” smoothly glides on MF’s signature airy vocals and ethereal-yet-dark-leaning production, creating the perfect mood for late-night romping….Petra Glynt – Of This Land
June 28, 2013
Toronto’s Healing Power imprint has been releasing fabulous music in gorgeous packages for awhile, including a slick LP by synth juggler Man Made Hill (co-released with Beniffer Editions) and another delicious slab of vinyl from psychedelic wizard Matthew “Doc” Dunn. Of This Land, the debut…
Kanye West – “Send It Up” THUGLI Remix
June 28, 2013
Kanye West has been in the media a lot lately. Lately being the past five years and that last sentence being something I really didn’t need to tell you. Ye has a personality that is easy to feel very strongly about, be those feelings hate or love. Still, even my friends who can’t stand Mr….
Mars – Rehearsal Tapes and Alt-Takes NYC 1976-1978
June 28, 2013
Though Mars did not ostensibly exist for long as a band, their influence in the New York scene was briefly substantial and their incredible shtick has made them a cult favorite; they played surrealist non-pop with a precocious liberality that to their credit very often cohered into dramatically compelling…
Timmy Sells His Soul/Tag Cloud Split
June 27, 2013
Washington, DC’s Daniel Euphrat performs under the moniker Timmy Sells His Soul, his “electronic pseudo pop” project inspired by Satan, cartoon cats, rubix cubes, or whatever other weird shit you can find on the MS Paint collage art of his album covers. On this split, with fellow DC dronester…Raider Klan – B.M.W.R.N. 2013
June 27, 2013
Last night SpaceGhostPurrp tweeted out a youtube link to a new half-hour mix from the Raider Klan. B.M.W.R.N. is short for Black Money World Rich Niggas, with the title being an obvious extension from last December’s B.M.W. mixtape from Purrp. B.M.W.R.N. 2013 features the whole Klan, and opens…Oisima – “Everything About Her” (feat. Annabel Weston)
June 27, 2013
Australian electronic producer Anth Wendt (aka, Oisima) released a new single featuring Annabel Weston’s beautiful voice. “Everything About Her” features some bright synth loops, dry percussions, precise bass lines and amazingly arranged vocals, creating a beautiful jazzy atmosphere with many contrasting…Hawaiian Gremlins – “Teenage Ways EP”
June 26, 2013
Imagine three gremlins surfing in Acapulco beach, wearing some animal print shorts and psychedelic multicolor shades. Funny, isn’t it? Santiago, Elías and Paquito started making a fresh lo-fi bedroom pop about four months ago under the name Hawaiian Gremlins, just by playing some chords, percussion,…Gora Sou – Music for Girls
June 25, 2013
The gentleman composer, Marc Übel, (pseudo)named Gora Sou is like a shadow in the shape of a person, a near-vacuum surrounded by an explosion of information in cyberspace. This much is known: in 2011, he was involved with the Red Bull Music Academy; he is from Heidelberg, Germany; he is one-third of…Scissor Now! – Not Now, But Right Now!
June 25, 2013
Scissor Now! have been one of my favorite Ann Arbor bands since I saw them at Ultra Mega Awesome Extreme (a local showcase, billed as “TRUE MEGA WORLDWIDE!”) a few years ago. Several days ago, the band released an LP, Not Now, But Right Now!, with little preamble. The album was actually…Premiere: L¡L M∑Я1©Å – “D-LEAGUE”
June 25, 2013
At the beginning of 2013 Magic Fades released one of my favorite records of the year, and a producer named Boy Scout Of America dropped a stunning remix to the album’s title track, “Obsession”. Since then BSOA has gone through some stages of growth and as a newly formed teenager is…
Blondes – Swisher [Full Album Stream]
June 25, 2013
It’s been a full year since Blondes, the New York freak-kraut duo of Sam Haar and Zach Steinman, released a self-titled compilation of their earliest 12″ recordings. But while that release merely compiled the pneumatic and mechanical dance movements of a band finding its own sound, Blondes…Premiere: Kandodo – “July 28th (edit)”
June 24, 2013
The letter “k” on your computer’s QWERTY keyboard there is only two short strokes away from the letter “h.” Yes, there’s a reason I’m reminding you of this little recognized yet obvious fact about keyboards. It’s because with the title of this new Kandodo…Jeff Mills is the Wizard: 1986-89
June 24, 2013
This past weekend, the missus took the mister camping, and we return to find that not only did we neglect to celebrate legendary Detroit techno DJ/producer Jeff Mills’ birthday last Tuesday, we missed a few reports until now that German blog Nerdcore had shared a seven-mix collection of transfers…Luxury Elite – “High Heels”
June 24, 2013
The mostly internet-based producer Luxury Elite has just dropped a new single announcing a collaborative split between Datalife and Public Spread the News coming out next July 15th via digital imprint Fortune 500, a label with a burgeoning catalog of releases from a bubbling international “new…Madrugapha & Ø+yn (Omasin) – Golden Rain Pope
June 21, 2013
Córdoba is a city that lies at the heart of northern Argentina, in the foothills of the Sierras Chicas mountain range. If you were to be wandering around said cluster of mountains in the dead of night (or in the middle of the day), you might just stumble upon what would appear to be a bizarre musical…Premiere: changemod – “summer/summer” JSHIH Remix
June 21, 2013
A couple of weeks ago we got the exclusive drop on Datahowler‘s remix to changemod‘s “summer/summer”. Today we’re taking things out of Texas and into another sunny climate with Orlando’s own JSHIH giving the same song his own twist. Taking on a trapped out vibe, JSHIH…
Premiere: Spazzkid – “Loving Free” Meishi Smile’s First Digital Love RMX
June 20, 2013
In April Mark Redito, bka Spazzkid ,dropped his Desire 願う full-length on us; featuring a self-released t-shirt + digital package and an already sold-out cassette edition from Purr Tapes. Not content to let the tracks gather dust, however; Spazzkid has now teamed with a variety of killer producers…n u a g e s – “Closer”
June 20, 2013
I discovered n u a g e s a couple of months ago after hearing his track “Forget” while searching for good vibes on Soundcloud — something that, day by day, becomes easier thanks to the global proliferation of producers on the service. Since then I’ve been following his work very closely,…
