Running a site like this, one thing is for sure; you have to care. I work full time and then spend the majority of my spare time painstakingly checking features, making sure that everything is in its right place, that the pictures look good, that youtube embed codes have the correct ratio... Yep, it gets that exciting. But it does matter. It matters because it's a representation of me - and our contributors - and if I get to the point where I'm half-assed about it then there really isn't any point in doing it anymore. The [...]

[RSS Readers: See post to listen to audio] Tropical Space Juke? i'm not sure what to call it...does it matter though, the man cares about melody and unique direction and split for upbeat relaxation and dancefloor, pre-order this 2LP its going to be one that you'll revisit plenty this summer. I should be suggesting more Soundcloud accounts to follow, the top of my list has to be Wisp , this track below is just the tip of what this man does, not one idea Reid Dunn has had has ever bored me.

Another month gone by and another handful of music that your friends at SKOA are offering up for your listening pleasure. The February edition of the Some Kind of Mixtape series features artists from all over the world, some of which might not be known by many of you. Either way, give the mixtape a listen and let us know who you enjoyed, and perhaps who you didn't, and make sure to give us feedback on this relatively new monthly feature. Our mixtape is hosted on 8tracks , a favorite of ours in the world of music [...]
The video for RxGibbs ' "Silver" highlights the liquid feel that so often elicits long, aquatic metaphors. Thankfully, that creative burden is lifted here, with the washes of blue water, bluer skies, bare limbs, and fruit (?/yum) interrupted by counter imagery of solid pieces of classical architecture speaking for themselves. Feel free to build your own metaphor out of that. The synth swells, ringing samples, and playfully syncopating drums play right along as light bends along the surface of the water and around the tiny drops that gather on the camera lens, conveying both a sense of serenity [...]
We premiered RxGibb's fine EP Futures two weeks ago, and now the track "Silver" has a video to accompany it. It's full of hazy underwater images that are constantly morphing and shifting, as well as a mysterious focus on fruit. No explanations necessary, let the serene track gently float you away. The bonus cherry on top is this remix from labelmates The Whendays .

RxGibbs es el proyecto de Ron Gibbs, un productor de Michigan que acaba de sacar un EP, Futures , en uno de nuestros sellos favoritos, Cascine. Su música es una mezcla de shoegaze bastante ambiental con algunos tintes de sintetizadores elegantes. El video de "Silver" representa perfecto el sonido de RxGibbs. Enjoy. extra: Nuestros amigos de The Whendays le hicieron un remix a "Silver". ♩ RxGibbs - Silver (The Whendays Remix)
RxGibbs : Futures - MP3 & EP Streaming Le label Cascine fait partie de mes favoris. Il rassemble une poignée d'artistes qui maîtrisent les beats dance, le lo-fi, les influences chill, laid-back et la synth-pop tout en jouant de la réverbe et autres filtres. Avec goût. RxGibbs n'est pas à son premier EP mais Futures sera le premier à sortir sous le label américain qui signe, une fois de plus, une excellente recrue! Cascine [...]

We are beyond honored to be premiering the latest release from one of our favorite labels, Cascine . Michigan-based producer RxGibbs is making dreamy pop tunes that instantly trigger our summer nostalgia. On these gloomy February days we are dreaming of sun and sand and surf and he graciously agreed to answer some questions for us about the season's influence on him. In the winter, we generally look forward to summer as this fantasy, and everyone has a slightly different version of that fantasy. What's yours? [...]

RxGibbs - Futures Cascine är återigen aktuella med ett nytt släpp. Denna gång är det RxGibbs EP Future, som släpps 21 februari. Där Cascines tidigare släpp träffat direkt, skiljer sig RxGibbs: det är inga självklara melodier som sätter sig direkt, så där som man kan förvänta sig att en bra låt ska göra. Här är det istället en melodi som lutar mer åt ambient, men men ett par trumsamplingar gör det till något annat tillsammans med ett ständigt närvarande nynnande. Jag sträcker mig så långt till användandet av ett engelskt uttryck då jag inte [...]

Sunday.. Is there a day better suited to the enjoyment of slow burning Cascine magic? We received a little slice of aforementioned magic a few weeks ago, and it came in the shape of new Cascine signing RxGibbs , and his (soon to be released) EP Futures. If you know Cascine, you should know what to expect here.. Gorgeous, lush and intricate synth soundscapes with a foot edging toward the dancefloor. What I particularly [...]

Week 4 and Exile is turning into residence. Two cascading pieces of electronic music. RxGibbs ' Proxy falls through the hazy memories of a Kompakt future: a land of brushed metal and milk. Where reclaimed architectural unit s of the past; are put into service as the unblinking backdrop; to the entropy of elegance into decadence. The crisp frame to the final moments of a 48 hour binge. RxGibbs' Proxy continues to fall. Straight through the part 4AD , part Gainsbourg ecstatic/mournful signing of a female voice. Falling back [...]

I was going to say something around the lines of 'this is gorgeous' or 'you'd hear music like this bar hopping in outer space' but I'd better let the fine folks at Cascine take this one -- Cascine is proud to announce the signing of Michigan producer RxGibbs and the presentation of Futures - an EP of sanguine, sophisticated dance music. [...]

Today we have some new textured ambient synth-pop in the form of Michigan producer RxGibbs. His new Futures ep is set for digital release on February 21 via Cascine . The title track has drawn comparisons to TSR faves Blondes and The Field and we would have to agree. Check out the lush atmospherics of "Futures" below. If you like what you hear, be sure to check out some of his earlier work here .
