Not too long ago Dublab presented the compilation, Light From Los Angeles , featuring some of L.A.'s finest underground artists including, Teebs, Yuk, Nite Jewel, Sun Araw, Ras G, Julia Holter, and Suzanne Kraft. Not only did the artists contribute a track but also a video was shot exclusively on Digital Harinezumi cameras. Teebs & Yuk teamed up to fabricate a lucid formulation of tension-easing ambiance. Download it over at RBMA's soundcloud ... Video [...]
Minor late pass on this one, as Teebs and Yuk dropped off a dreamy new video and single thanks to Red Bull Music Academy last Friday. "Estara" lands on the forthcoming Light From Los Angeles dublab compilation, which sported some impressive features from Ras G , Sun Araw, Nite Jewel and much more. This track here sets the mood swimmingly, with spaced out visuals to accompany the laid back composition. Teebs and Yuk have worked together in the past, proving their chemistry is a force to be reckoned with. [...]

Arts collective Dublab has announced Light From Los Angeles , a 15-track compilation featuring a number of local musicians, including ambient singer-songwriter Julia Holter and electro crooner Ramona Gonzalez (aka Nite Jewel ), who collaborated together on a track called "What We See". While the gentle cymbals and wavey synths are almost too delicate, the track's main attraction is the gorgeous harmonies and interplay between Holter and Gonzalez. Mirroring that sentiment, the accompanying video (each album track will feature a video shot with Digital Harinezumi cameras) sees the two walking through a [...]

Earlier this month, Brainfeeder producer Teebs dropped a new project that wasn't technically an album but rather it was a compilation of loose ideas he's been working on over the past few years. The aptly titled Collections 01 was still good, though. Damn good, actually, and those of you who copped a vinyl edition of it were treated to a special treat. It apparently came with a free download of nine additional tracks including this soothing redo of highlight "Just the Yellow Bits" called "Estara". Luckily for everyone who hasn't bought the Collections 01 vinyl, [...]

yuk. - bigbright h i g h Visual artist Ariana Natale takes on the ‘mind-melting’ metaphor with popsicles and swimming pools for this freaked-out experimental piece from Los Angeles. Beautiful. Grab the album A D W A available on Leaving Records and My Hollow Drum .
yuk.- bigbright h i g h from Ariana Natale on Vimeo . Ariana Natale's video for yuk's "bigbright h i g h" wears its colors with pride. A woman lies almost lifeless on a tie dyed sheet, next to a swimming pool. A melted red Popsicle lies flat in her hand. This almost looks like one of the murder tableaux from "Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer", but it is soon clear that the only thing that has killed the woman is the heat. Melted Popsicles of many colors, tie dyed textiles, and vibrant [...]

The rad Pacific Northwest artist collective Dropping Gems has put out a fantastic compilation this week: Gem Drops is a collection of 21 tracks by some extremely talented beat wizards that all share the same idea of producing contemporary instrumental hip hop and electronic music, being influenced by the greats of West Coast beatmaking - think J Dilla, Flying Lotus, Matthew David, or Madlib. This uncompromised artistic vision receives an appropriate setting on Gem Drops , leading to a remarkably coherent result that showcases one of the most exciting directions in modern music. Featuring recently [...]

I’m generally not a fan of top x album of the year lists (cause the ones I see on other blogs ignore the massive amount of incredible releases on small labels as well as awesome self-released records) but I decided to do one anyway. Lots of beats and garage rock and most of them are local! Yes, I know some of my favorite releases this year are only singles, but I don’t care, they deserve to be on here. TOP 25 RELEASES OF 2010 [...]

lisa strouss yuk. "adept-ation for Dev" (From A D W A out now on Leaving Records) yuk.’s new tape, A D W A , is an incredibly beautiful ambient electronic album that sends you straight to a THC-infused dreamland in the woods. “adwatxchr” begins the vision quest by inviting you to give yourself to the late-night lo-fi haziness of the wilderness. “emilia reflection” lures you into the ethereal soundscape while the earth melts away entirely. The exploration of gorgeous melodies and soft beats continues with [...]
