[ via ] Unknown feels up a rework of Face + Heel's , 'No Stars'. Its spaciously loose-fitted and harmoniously effective. Like soft droplets of rain onto the concrete. A Slippery-faced rhythm that puts in a fine finish. Photo by the extremely creative, Brian Vu . 0 false [...]
WARM NTS RADIO SHOW W/ DAUWD + JACQUES RENAULT Listened to this all day on Sunday. Exclusives from Face + Heel , Unknown, new remixes, plus picks from Dauwd and Jacques Renault . I don’t have a tracklist, but it’s too good to not just listen and enjoy. Smoothed out and sexed up electronic vibes, that lead into jazzy, house tracks, some dance friendly numbers, some funky futuristic juke shit at the one hour mark, soul laced house, then at the 1:47 mark they get weird and it’s just a lovely way [...]
Tasogare no etude - Onishi Yuka Download: 01-e9bb84e6988fe381aee382a8e38 381e383a5e383bce38388e38299.mp 3 In my short (though as rapacious as i can manage [i can manage pretty well]) time with 802s/early 902s Japanese pop, this is [...]
"A Week Of Good Health," off Wonderlust (Raymond Roussel), flawlessly shifts between crooning ballad and head-bobbing pop. Chicago eight-piece Panoramic & True throws in strings, piano, guitar, bass and drums into the mix on this seemingly simple pop number, adding subtle complexities. The myriad sounds on the song make it fun, especially on repeated listens. [...]
Time was, when a group of friends would get together, they'd fire up the reel to reel recorder and spend a few minutes recording the visit for posterity. Sometimes it might be conversation, sometimes it might be skits, sometimes it might be music. For me, finding such recordings on a secondhand reels of tape is like successfully panning for gold must be for a prospector. There is something special about hearing people enjoying each others company, and listening to the full throated, untrained but enthusiastic singing that rises up on such occasions. Today, two significantly different groups of people, recorded [...]
New fantastic one from Unknown . #009, puts you in that lucid garage feel where you can close your eyes bop your head and everything will be alright kind of thing. Always great things... ______________________________ ______________________________ _____________________ Previously :: Unknown - #008
Unknown // #008 ϟ download surrogateself : Cluster F#$%
For the longest time this past year, I've been meaning to blog about the mysterious and nameless bass fabricator, Unknown . He most recently contacted me with his 8th catalogued tune that just got put up on Dummy Mag's soundcloud page a day ago. #008 is a looped lucid dream waiting to erase your current state of mind and hypnotize you with its down-tempo swooning bass melody. Dude makes some extremely gratifying numbers. Check them all out on youtube and listen to some of my favorites below...
Stream: Revenant - “Still Skinny”. Made for the ‘come-down room’ in the mid-1990s, obviously.
You may or may not have heard of #Unknown . It is an account on Soundcloud where tracks are released with no title or artist. Some are stream only and some are free. They intend to bring new and exclusive tunes with the names and identities of the artists being revealed after several weeks. Artists who have taken part so far include Goldlines , Ghostek , Karma Kid and Baby Diego . With no end in sight, this account should be checked on a regular basis for the latest upfront tunes. [...]
myworldmusicfriends.com If you've been around here a while you'll know that I have a major obsession with the 1967-70 war in Nigeria, when the Eastern Region of that country left to establish the independent nation of Biafra. It was a valiant struggle, but the nascent Republic went down to defeat on January 15, 1970. I suspect not everyone shares my interest, but some do, and for them I'm posting another entry in Likembe 's Biafra archive - the hard-to-find LP Biafra: Birth of a [...]
Today, three tapes which I've been saving for awhile, for just the right time. Now, instead of making each into a post of it's own, I've decided to bundle them together, into an "odds and ends" post. First up, a very brief tape featuring someone named Oliver, a radio newsman who has been asked (in 1975) to provide a few seconds worth of introduction to a special program on Foreign Policy. He does so, giving seven nearly identical readings in about 90 seconds. What makes this tape memorable is the obnoxious version of the text he shares with [...]

Some tasty little white labels popped up on youtube a few months ago and have been causing quite a stir! Some say they're new tracks from Burial, other that it's La Roux trying her hand at some dubby vibes and even some Richard D James speculation! The mystery continues... #001 #002 001 002
. Dans un contexte où le net autorise un référencement musical en quasi temps réel, on veut saluer le projet #Unknown pour sa capacité à réactiver quelque peu l'effet de curiosité et d'excitation que l'on pouvait ressentir à la vue d'une pile de white labels. A partir d'une idée simplissime, proposer régulièrement des morceaux anonymes en écoute sur une page soundcloud, #Unknown offre paradoxalement une exposition à de jeunes producteurs dont on peut apprécier les travaux sans a priori et en évitant [...]
Geen idee wie het is maar het heeft bijzondere allure. Luister en verbaas je, een nieuwe hype ala Burial?
Unknown - #004 Hot off the morning presses. Shrouded in mystery. Who is Unknown ?
Another week gone by, and strangely enough, good music did not stop being made. While maybe at times I'm too busy to sit down and post, I still get a chance to have these sounds in my ears at most moments in a day. I'm really thankful for that. Too many people are making really good music to not have a life that lets you listen to it. So here I am, copping out once again, and posting up a big collection of some of my favorites from this week. From tasty electronic gems, to sweetly twisted R&B [...]
Mucho nombre grande en esta emisión en vivo de El Horno. Como que se nos hizo tarde para colgar esta vaina por aquí, así que cortamos con la cháchara y entramos rápido en materia. Pangea Entre lo más conocido encontramos nuevas de My Bloody Valentine , Garbage , Metric , Ben Folds Five y FIDLAR . Del mixtape que colgamos la semana pasada rescatamos la de Natural Child . Hay "clásico" de [...]
N.E.R.D.-Spazz (Unknown Remix) Download audio file (Spazz-Remix.mp3) Well hello! It's been a minute since, right? The Blind I staff used to crank out compilations so quickly, but I find that the quality of the compilations is so much more thorough when we spend time really playing the music to see what works together. It's spring! My spirits are super high and ideas and opportunities are blossoming. I'm feeling good and hopefully you are too! There's no formula or [...]
