Grab your ears and stick them on this Aussie future soul shimmer and r’n’beats glimmer from Melbourne. Hiatus Kaiyote is their name, which still has me thinking of a… Continue reading
Very excited for new this Jai Paul demo that surfaced yesterday. Been a fan of the Rayners Lane, north west London producer’s output ever since his future soul track “BTSTU” with its signature… Continue reading
Like pouring six bowls of Cap’n Crunch in your ears. Love it when hip-hop just gets plain weird.
5:04am music. Released nine hours ago from man of the lushly-stringed nocturnal moment Oliver Tank. (I’ve banged on before about Mr. O.T. being a James-Blake-soundalike-Aussie, primarily because it sounded like a cool… Continue reading
When I saw there was a new Behling & Simpson remix up, such was my excitement that I clicked on “Download” just a little bit faster than the time it takes a hummingbird… Continue reading
Every once in a while I’ll take a dive head-first into the weird and wonderful gym-bag that is “folktronica” (see Beth Orton and the Chems’ collaborative output, see also the rather excellent Perfect… Continue reading
Thursday feel-good song. “When can they measure the width of our love?” “Never a time.” Find this track and more from Ypsilanti, Michigan’s 14KT on his latest album A Friendly Game… Continue reading
Big look for Joker on this one. Pathos is as heavy here as his signature synths.
Nina Kraviz here with a late-night haze of rhythmic 909 kicks that kick you in the shins and claps that clap you across the face. Slurred, talk-in-your-sleep talk is ladled over the top… Continue reading
The perfect rainy day song. The Shins’ Richard Swift sounding not completely unlike early Mayer Hawthorne sounding not completely unlike the large majority of the Motown greats. Although when your full name… Continue reading
There’s plenty of moody and introspective vocal electronic music out there right now with the “post-dubstep” or “sounds a bit James Blake-y” tags. The music of Ifan Dafydd is far better than those… Continue reading
Pure Bristol vibes. Rave in peace.
Morning tune. L.A.’s Thavius Beck comes correct with some lush, cinematically-orchestrated strings. “Thanks” is perfect pre-noon listening. Thavius Beck – “Thanks” Grab… Continue reading
To me, Quadron’s band name will always sound like a black metal outfit formed by Harvard mathematicians. Who knew they would actually turn out to be an easily-lovable Danish duo fully capable of… Continue reading
Woke up with this super-relaxing-times Photek tune in my head this morning. Which is strange because my wake-up alarm ringtone is usually Three 6 Mafia’s “Poppin My Collar.”
The UK producer’s lush, Balearic, synthpopped, chillwaved track “Paws” finally gets the video treatment. The result is exactly what you’d expect this sound to look like if you could see it: multiple dream-like… Continue reading
Viewing notes: 1. This is some of the greatest dancing since MJ. And one of the best music videos ever. 2. I actually and involuntarily “laughed out loud” at 0:23. 3. Defying death… Continue reading
East London ska-dubsters The Skints take on Katy B’s “Katy on a Mission” and expertly execute a smooth, blissed, dubstyle reggae version of the original. Things to enjoy: 1. The slow nod of… Continue reading
My new favorite 1970s Indian psychedelic rock group. Atomic Forest also may just be my new favorite band name. At least for this afternoon.
Things to love about this video: 1. The silent vow of competitive resolve by another contestant at 42 sec. 2. This stage of the singing contest is called “Survival Audit.” 3. The fact… Continue reading
The modestly-titled Just A Band are my new favorite experimental electronic band from Nairobi, Kenya. Check out their exclamatorily-titled track “Hey!” and the corresponding video below. Both prove that rapping in Swahili is… Continue reading
Raw. Forget looking back in time with your Top 10 lists, this dark and deadly slice of hype is looking so far forward in the future it’s beaming the apocalypse back to us.
Floating Points solving all your problems. Lights down for best listening.
