Не так уж и важно, из штатов ты, Европы или России, когда твой голос уже через секунду вызывает череду восторженных возгласов. Любителями минималистичных , но великолепных песен и музыки, в которую слишком легко влюбиться. Честная, чистая и хрупкая «Open» уже вышла 12" пластинкой на Innovative Leisure .
![[Playlist] A Meaty Vacationing Mixture](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4052057_lg.jpg)
Hello friends and others. I am off on a mini-vacation tomorrow (see above picture). When we get back from Mexico the plan is to finish packing up our house and move to Vancouver...finally. Life will be pretty wild over the next few weeks so I highly doubt that there will be much new music posted up here. As a present, here is a playlist that I will be listening to while sitting by the pool, eating tacos, drinking chi-chi's and playing some serious Scrabble. Till then... 1. Dirty Gold - California Sunrise [...]

Last week we brought you some throwback songs for sex, including the infamous Clarence Carter, Al Green, and the sexy shower master D'Angelo. As much as we appreciate lusty songs of the generations from whence we came, it's time to turn our attention to sex-charged track of the present. Check out the list below for some frothy, climactic tracks for this Valentine's Day. And don't worry; we promise not to judge if you use this over the weekend before the actual holiday. It just *might* be necessary. xoxo [...]

What joy we festival lovers received today! Aye, the line-ups for two of the best festivals of the summer, Sasquatch and Primavera Sound, were released, and are they ever a gift from the festival deities on high.

The dreams you have about seeing Bon Iver under the stars and surrounded by landscapes as picturesque [...]

Mr. West gets mashed against The xx in this track by Carlos Serrano. Touch the Sky vs Intro. Dope.
Este chico sigue estrenando temas. Bastante después del "Progress" que presentaba en el último tercio del año, pero tan sólo unos días de que pudieramos escuchar su remezcla del "Bloom" de Radiohead, Jamie xx vuelve con una canción completamente nueva, "Touch Me" , la cual ya está disponible gracias al milagro de SoundCloud.

The Londoner unveils a new track.

New glimpse of Jamie xx solo material. Last night Young Turks had a takeover of Aussie radio station, FBi, and in it they premiered "Touch Me." It's a direct successor to "Far Nearer," only because both songs heavily use steel drums and it is very, very hard to make songs featuring that instrument sound differently. The devil is in the details. Check out the track for yourself, buried in the mix at 49 minutes in. ( Fader )
At about 49 minutes on the embed below, the xx's sonic architect, Jamie, shares the latest iteration of his by now practically patented steel-drummed/florid-house dance music. There's a disassociated vocal sample offering instruction in rhythm, there's the reverberating sounds of an island getaway and tropical cocktails, and there's the underbelly of a mid-tempo beat for reasonably paced shagging. Hear it, along with a mix from bandmate Romy, and other Young Turks treats, in this <a href=" http://theyoungturks.co.uk/"Yo ung Turks radio show for Australian Radio 94.5 FBi , below. It is also downloadable, if you'd like to do that and [...]

STS continues to tease his track-flipping GOLDRush collection (dropping Feb. 29th) with latest installment "Downhill", an introspective bent powered by the oft-sampled gloomy indie pop of The xx's "Shelter" . As producer Eric Hahn adds a subtle knock to the track's dreamy, nocturnal melancholy, "Downhill" sees STS stewing within the muted excitement of being thisclose to his superstar dreams coming true ("It's feelin' like we finally winning...") while prematurely worrying about having to sustain the heights ("Hope I don't lose control/ Or lose my pants, or lose my soul/ Once you reach [...]

Tweet January has come and gone. In some parts of the world Lana Del Rey 's "Born To Die" has already been released to mixed reviews, nowhere near making as big a splash as was anticipated by some. I've given it a listen, it's fine, but, as I expected, nothing remarkable. In not-LDR-related news, there have been plenty of good releases so far in this past month, with Cloud Nothings , [...]
