I am overly excited to help announce the first ever PORTALS SXSW Showcase! That's right, the crew is headed to Austin next month to be a part of the action and help throw a killer party! It comes equipped with BBQ, drinks, more music than you could possibly want, some super nerdy bloggers, transportation via the PORTALSbus! and some amazing sponsors. Ex.fm and The Basic Fund have been kind enough to throw down and help us get this thing going, and we couldn't be more thankful. Here's [...]

This is the story about a young Austin-based producer hailing from the Southwestern suburban kingdom of Phoenix, AZ who through his sheer will and determination has established himself as a rising star within the electronic music scene, all at the tender age of 19. I am talking about a Mr. Jacob McNaughton, known to us as Galapagos. McNaughton is what some may call a 'prolific' producer. He has been producing music for less than a year and has already released four EPs and has received rave reviews from reputable blogs like XLR8R and [...]

Four Tet - Moma Galapagos - Jessica Alba Juj - Summer Sad Souls - Meandering Feist - How Come You Never Go There (Beck Remix) Memoryhouse - The [...]
It's surprising how struck I can be by music over-wrought with familiarity. On the surface, 18-year-old Galapagos isn't doing anything wholly new. Alvin -esque pitch-shifting? Heard it. R&B sampling? Been there. Chopped vocals and beats? Oh, please. Still, there's something I find infectious about his songs and structures, particularly "Feel Things Inside." Surely, its wrong to think of ProTools or Logic as anything other than stringed instruments. If songwriters can produce a dearth of material using the same guitar chords, why can't laptop auteurs do the same with software tricks? [...]
Giraffage is Charlie Yin, a 21 year old multi-instrumentalist from San Francisco who produces lush electronic music. Comfort , his stunning debut LP, was released a little over three weeks ago, and has been widely acclaimed the world over. I asked him to throw together anything he'd like for this Substitute Teachers , and he presented us with a sublimely chromatic collection of his contemporaries. Mount Kimbie - Maybes NIVA [...]

18-year-old Phoenician Jacob McNaughton, aka Galapagos has been turning heads in the blog world for a little while now. In a word where moody and drug-infused Rn'B is all the rage, it's actually pretty refreshing to hear someone go out of his way to create something as clean and sugary as possible. His new cut, Feel Things Inside, is a rework of Jennifer Hudson 's "No One Gonna Love You". It's almost obnoxiously pitch-shifted, stuttering and wild, yet it also manages to be utterly infectious. Stream and [...]
