Fancy Mike - “Miami Vice”

It's been almost exactly a year since we last posted about Fancy Mike, and seeing as he's just put up a new song on his Soundcloud it's about time he got some more airtime. Or pixeltime. Or whatever you want to call this. Moving on from the semantics, the new track is a two minute treat. Spacy, bassy and dubby in places, it's got a chilled ominous feel that's enhanced by the sampled vocal that drifts in and out of the instrumental. It's seriously good, [...]

I'll see your overt declaration, and raise you a nuanced reductive reasoning. Fingerbanger 1 : Youth Lagoon - Cannons (don lowed) -- Fingerbanger 2 : Fancy Mike - Ramachandran (don lowed) -- Fingerbanger 3 : Nujabes - Steadfast (don lowed) -- Fingerbanger 4 : Belleruche - Anything You Want (Not That) (don lowed) -- Fingerbanger 5 : Kim Hiorthoy - [...]

Fancy Mike treats his soundcloud with a new hip-hopping lullaby entitled, 'Hikiomori'. It's a hypnotizing strum of a beat that rewinds and geeks-down to a bluesy swing number that has hard-felt booms and claps underlying this topsy turvy stepper. Fun stuff...

WORD
Late last year, Midwest producer Fancy Mike released the great Madison Square Gardner EP on King Deluxe , full of thick programming and effervescent synths. One of the most notable aspects to his music, though, was an affinity with orchestral sounds and composition. While the music had its heart in hip-hop, the underlying structure was in the symphony. It lends his music a weight sometimes not found in the bright, spastic beat constructions that circle the globe today. Not one to rest on his laurels, the new Sigma Chi Primavera [...]

I... just... can't... stop... dancing. Sometimes, you just find the perfect song for a given moment; That's how I felt when I threw on some Fancy Mike and opened up my window to a fat ray of sunshine and a chorus of chirping birds. As Twin Peaks set the mood and the sun beamed down through my already milky hookah, I couldn't help but start bouncing on my bed. You know what they say: if you can't dance on your feet, dance in your seat! Fancy Mike is a young producer hailing from middle America. Not [...]

When you are in the depths of Winter it can feel as if Spring will never arrive, and yet here we are, with the weather growing warmer, the days becoming longer and the skies often seeming bluer. We're riding bicycles through city streets, planning camping trips with friends, drinking beers while watching baseball games and going on long hikes through the hills. It's a good time of year. A lot of the music that I've been obsessing over speaks to the change in the season too. By and large these aren't songs for a day at a beach, which isn't [...]

Here's a little selection of what I've been listening to over the past week. It's a combination of my last.fm plays, online streams and the odd song I've heard on the radio. So, in no particular order, let's have a look. First up is a 502s/rockabilly girl-folk group called Louise & The Pins , hailing from London. They happen to be rather good friends with Laura Marling, in case you need any extra incentive to check them out. The music consists of simple guitars behind lovely vocal melodies. And they have [...]

It's time to listen to a bunch of the tracks I have not posted recently. Here is the next NOT POSTED mix.

You can stream all the songs in this mix using the Yahoo media player at the bottom of the page OR if you are browsing with Chrome you can play (and scrobble ) the whole page using the ex.fm extension OR [...]

Jonny Wildey aka Alphabets Heaven of the Kings Deluxe collective, dropped his alluring 11 track debut album, Jay's Odyssey , earlier this year. The album engirds a dreamful opacity of beatastic measures that can uplift and creep at anytime of the day. 'Walk On' runs a consistent waterfall of textures and tones that phase in and out, pulsating and streaming through the speakers and into your earholes. Post-dream, afterglow material. 'Woman (feat. Alessi's Ark)' gives off a bass heavy, funky melody that captures the femininity of the powerfully reverberated voice of, [...]
