Had the horsemen in the WediditCollective any interest in pushing the crew narrative, I probably wouldn't have to link to their website in the first sentence. You might know the principals better from their solo work: Shlohmo , Jonwayne , Zeroh , RL Grime. There's more and all of them are interested in further blurring the line between beats, raps, R&B and IDM. It's experimental without the pretentiousness associated with the label. So Jonwayne's new mix for XLR8R includes Sun Ra, Edan, Ironman , Biggie remixes and eerie Japanese New Age music [...]
Hospitality is a band that makes sonic candy-perfectly engineered tunes that satisfy the proverbial sweet-tooth. That's not to say that their sound is pure fluff, not to be taken seriously, but rather that Hospitality has cultivated an attitude and approach that yields an unapologetically warm and fun brand of indie-pop. "Friends Of Friends," with its skip-to-my-loo baseline and Amber Papini's casual vocal delivery, feels wonderfully effortless, as if the band just picked up their instruments and started improvising. Sure, Hospitality isn't exploring the confines of their genre or challenging the sonic status quo on this one, but that's not what [...]
A video from the forthcoming Rarebit album, Daizo. It's been released this week on Non Projects . Rarebit is the pseudonym of electronic music producer and composer Justin Hopkins, and his latest release has a concept that can't be caught by listening to a single song. The album is an exploration of familial genetics via music, taking inspiration from his own relatives to create a set of tracks that are different, but resemble one another in certain ways. Some tracks blatantly sample others on the album. With the track above, "Mt. Weather," Justin combines ambient [...]
Dream Koala mixes in for the 26th installment of the DECKast . His debut mix compiles a heavy amount of currently buzzed about U.S. beat experimentalist all-stars. A lot of classics on this one. Highly translucent and a tremendous amount of dreaminess emitting off all 35 minutes of it. Here's what Yndi, himself had to say about the mix... " This mix features music I listen to and artists who inspire me at the moment. Maybe it will sound a bit "random" because I enjoy different stuff, but I tried to keep an [...]
The Soul Electronic: Rained the Whole Time (Nicolas Jaar Remix) - Shlohmo: thesoulelectronic: We...
This is what it sounds like when dubs cry. Nico Jaar jackknifing Henry Laufer's original into a work of skeletal, hand-carved beauty. If these two aren't the best EDM producers of their generation, they're among of the closest ones. From Shlohmo's Vacation Remixes
Jonah Bromwich's most natural trait is telepathy. One of electronic music's most enjoyable characteristics is its ability to seem alien. It can seem like the kind of advanced sound that everyone will listen to once the singularity takes over and our bodies are ½ nanobot. It's easy to forget that the beats are crafted according to the same melodies and tones that enable us to enjoy less futuristic genres. Ernest Gonzales , better known as Mexicans with Guns , has a handle on the human side of synthetic [...]
Shlohmo - Vacation Friends of Friends: 2012 Shlohmo 's latest release, Vacation EP, is a beat and vocal meshing that exists as a darker extension to his full-length debut, Bad Vibes. This EP is yet another product of LA's innovative word-of-mouth label, Friends of Friends , which has yet to put out a bad beats album. Of course, the Vacation EP is no exception. This album is an ambient-organic laptop timepiece with two faces depending on the volume. Turn it down and it plays [...]
Everyone's in love with Los Angeles's lo-fi beat producer Shlohmo ( Friends of Friends ), and even The Weeknd 's Abel Tesfaye is not immune to Henry Laufer's charms. Shlohmo's remix of Drake and The Weeknd's "Crew Love" has already done its share of internet rounds in the form of live YouTube videos, but as he expressed in a Tumblr post , even The Weeknd couldn't bear the teasing any longer. In a matter of days, an official version of Shlohmo's sedative, hazy take on the track became available for free. We can only hope this bromance will continue. [...]

Teebs unleashes a bouns remix on Shlohmo's new Vacation EP, which is out now on the Friends of Friends label. His reinterpretation of 'wen uuu', is something what you'd expect from the dude. Those pretty harp melodic gradations and loosely assembled dreamy compositions, its another one for the charts. The 12" is packed with remixes from not only Teebs but as well as Nicolas Jaar, Airhead, and label mates Salva and Groundislava. Purchase the EP over here . Shlohmo - wen uuu (Teebs Remix) [...]
The San Antonio producer Ernest Gonzales released his second solo LP "Natural Traits" combining delicate 8-bit synths with drum beats, guitars and natural sounds. As its title reveals, the album focuses in the feelings evoked by the beauty of nature and feels more like a collection of great instrumental songwriting rather than a dance/electronic studio [...]
![[Review/Listen] – Hospitality – "Hospitality"](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4046916_lg.jpg)
Tweet From the bouncy jangle of album starter "Eighth Avenue" , it's immediately clear Brooklyn trio Hospitality have come a long way from 2008's debut six song EP – and not just the kind of growth that's afforded when you stop recording in your apartment and actually enter a studio (although that's sure to have had a positive impact as well). On their debut album, Amber Papini captures the ineffable spark of their EP's best tracks and [...]
Jonah Bromwich's favorite vacation spot is the Isle of Wight. There's only so much concrete meaning that we can infer from beatmakers' music. Without lyrics acting as signposts, all we have to go on is tempo, mood and the occasional sample. Not much really. That's what makes it so fun when a producer like Shlohmo drops a few more clues to puzzle over. His excellent new Vacation EP plays the meaning game extremely well. At first, the title seems like a [...]
![Shlohmo - Vacation EP [New Release + Tour Dates]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4042707_lg.jpg)
Shlohmo : Facebook | Twitter Whoa. I've had Shlohmo's latest release Vacation EP [purchase here ] on repeat for about 30 minutes or so. That's saying a lot for a three song EP. It's the perfect vibe music whether you're chillin' in the right mental zone or trying to get down on some sexxxi time with your significant other. He's in the middle of a European tour right now, so to all of our EU readers please unplug from the internet and check out his performance. [...]
