Sin fronteras. Sketch On Glass , último EP de Mount Kimbie y editado en Hotflush Recordings (sello donde se ha editado también el último trabajo de nuestro estimadísimo Joy Orbison ), es una obra de orfebrería musical perfecta. A pesar de diluir las fronteras que hay entre aquellos géneros que nos gusta tanto etiquetar como el Dubstep, el Wonky, o el Sonido Púrpura, todos los temas incluidos en Sketch on glass reafirman la pegada que tiene la conexión: Los Ángeles - Islas [...]

It is now Sunday/September 27, and you all know what that means... More smoothies for your itunes to keep it cruisin mellow to on a day I think everyone should be relaxed on. So, as the usual Sunday routine goes, I selected a few of my favs, and not to mention, for no particular reason, I decided to remix a song especially for this day to debut as my first 'somewhat official' remixed track. I hope you all enjoy it.. Some background to these songs though before I get straight into the good stuff. So recently, I have [...]
![The xx – Remixes and All [21 Tracks]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/1960152_lg.jpg)
I'm sure you've been keeping up to date with whats happening with The xx , the London quartet featuring the lead vocals of the sexy sonic seductress Romy Madley Croft and Oliver Sim (who also play lead guitar and bass guitar respectively). Backing up these shadowy figure is Baria Qureshi (keyboards and guitar) and Jamie Smith (beats, MPC sampler). First plays came a month ago or so, and I keep on going back for more. ' Shelter ' just never seems to get old as it brings back the colour of older Portishead with the flavour of [...]

A painter paints pictures on canvas. But musicians paint their pictures on silence. ~ Leopold Stokowski No other quote sums up The XX's critically-acclaimed (and deservedly so) debut album. If you don't have, get it right now . Sometimes, the notes you don't play are just as important and XX is a great reminder of that. Here's an equally great subtle remix from Them Jeans and a genetically modified ambient version of 'Basic Space' by Mount [...]

Lot of new goodies around this week: How long before Kanye et al are hijacking Mount Kimbie's space age beats? Not very fucking long if you ask me. Their new EP 'Sketch in Glass' is on the shelves and it's well boss. Futuristic lullabies. Get on it. Mount Kimbie- 50 Mile View (Download) Antony & the Johnsons new single 'Aeon' is out now, it contains a cover of Beyonce's 'Crazy in Love'. Who'd have thought that the party jam of the [...]

Mount Kimbie - 5O mile view

Following their first EP Maybe Mount Kimbie have hit the spot again with Sketch on Glass. Bringing that mellow yet dancy mood on all their songs they prove to be on a winning streak. " Everything on offer here is hot. And it all sounds so simple: never over-complex or disconnected. There are touches here of Zomby, Joker and others, just as there were Shackleton and Burial on Maybes , but Kimbie's sound is their own, and over two releases they've [...]

[Hotflush Recordings] (buy vinyl tk) (buy mp3s tk) "Sketch On Glass" is the highly anticipated second release by Mount Kimbie, following their highly rated "Maybes" EP from earlier this year, also on Scuba's Hotflush Recordings. These guys are in the zone! Pioneering a catchy brand of light-as-air, deep-as-the-ocean, feel-good dubstep, here they offer us four more superb tracks. The title track comes out swinging and only gets better as it goes along. Serious shuffle, fits of portamento, and comping organ triplets all contribute to a short but sweet piece of blissful music. [...]

Photo by Tamara Lichtenstein One of the great joys of going to your local record shop (or, er, scrolling through menus of WhatPeoplePlay ) is the anticipation, nay, expectation of discovering something or someone you had never hear of before. As Innervisions boss Dixon says of their bright young hope, Culoe de Song, "Sometimes tracks appear from somewhere you would never expect." So far, 2009 has been no different, with a host of fresh and (more often than not) astonishingly young talent breaking through. Narrowing it down was a tough job, but [...]

It's been a while since I last posted so I thought I'd do another random roundup of what's been floating my boat recently. First up, the best Electronica track I've heard all year. 'Maybes' by Mount Kimbie is their first official release on Scuba's label Hotflush Recordings . It's all Blade Runner atmospherics , Burial style vocal samples and plink plonk percussion. Judging by this I can't wait to hear more of their next EP . Mount [...]

Mount Kimbie - Maybes Download here This track is just a taster from a great EP by the wonderfully inventive producer duo set to hit the bigtime in 2009. On Maybes there are elements of Subtle, Floating Points, Teengirl Fantasy, and even suitably deep opening chords that Wicked Messenger and the Plague Recordings set would be proud of. Read more about them on the Inverted Audio website.

That Alkan certainly knows his onions- He's compiled a very nice mixtape which is up on XLR8R at the moment and feature's some absolute delights. The Soft Machine's 'We Did it Again' is pure psychedelic pleasure, a stone groove baby.. The Soft Machine- We Did it Again (Download) Mount Kimbie also feature on the mixtape, their recent EP sounds a bit like Popul Vuh jamming with J Dilla & Burial. Phenomenal stuff.

I see now I'd uploaded a couple of mp3's about two months ago (!) and I'm inclined to believe a switch was pulled - either the one to the Internet, or the one in my head. Anyway those who wanted to know, know anyway; for the rest, I'm talking bout Mount Kimbie. Don't tell me this is dubstep, it's better. It's fresh as larvae. Obviously, artists re-arrange the borders between genres and sub-genres all the time. Kai and Dom of Mount Kimbie have some obvious influences - including "girlfriends" [...]

Hey folks - Aoife here again. As I type, it's late Sunday night/early Monday morning and Niall is running around the flat packing for SXSW. Bless him, he's been RSVPing to parties all weekend. My heart bleeds for him, it really does. After a bit of a delay, our March podcast is ready. Hope you enjoy it.

Qualche settimana fa avrei voluto scrivere di tormentoni da ep acerbi. Poi la vitareale™ ha preso il sopravvento, e non se n'è fatto più niente. Successivamente qualcuno ha cercato sul blog risposta alla domanda di cui al titolo, i Salem sono stati chiamati per Dissonanze e quel mito di Koze nel suo commovente mix per per Resident Advisor è partito con un pezzo di Mount Kimbie e allora ho avuto un rimorso per la mancanza di prontezza con cui negli ultimi mesi non ho parlato di Zomby, Salem e Mount Kimbie. Però, ecco, Zomby, Salem e Mount Kimbie [...]
