If you're not feeling appropriately "Tuesday" yet, here's Bear Mountain 's track "Congo" from their new album XO . An infectious tune lathered with synthy chords, live instruments, syncopated bass lines and strong vocals. If that just scrapes the surface then go on and visit this page and listen to the other beat-upper "Two Step". The post Bear Mountain appeared first on Indie Music Filter .

Frankie Knuckles recently blessed The Fader with an exclusive live mix along with an interview. If you claim to be a fan of dance music and the new Daft Punk record is 'so your thing' then you should get familiar with Frankie Knuckles. This guy laid the groundwork for disco house music as it exists today. Check out a few excerpts of the The Fader interview while listening below.

What happens when you mix Congolese guitar, some bouncy hip-hop beats, and Bamboo 's smooth Swahili rapping? Why, Im glad you asked! You get a vitamin C-infused jam that will immediately make you wish you weren't at your computer reading a blog, but rather coasting along the beach on a bike or dancing on a humid night in a far away land. Bamboo is a Inglewood, CA native, who after getting in trouble a lot as a kid, was sent to Kenya by his parents where he learned to speak Swahili. He decided to [...]

Kid A. Kid A es una chica de Virgina que sorprendió a todo mundo el año pasado con su álbum PPPoney , el cual supuestamente era un soundtrack para una película imaginaria. Misteriosamente el álbum desapareció del Bandcamp de Kid A , sin embargo, lanzó una versión retrabajada su sencillo "BB Bleu", el cual saldrá bajo el sello Technicolour el próximo 3 de junio. Todo parece indicar que Lana Del Rey tendrá una fuerte competencia. Escuchen una versión demo de "BB Bleu" [...]

Last year Japanese artist Kid A released her 'PPPONEY' album, which has since disappeared from her Bandcamp. It was an 'OST' for an imaginary film, a flood of ideas which included, at the center, the 'BB BLEU' song. Its original, "demo" form is still streamable here . Minimal, to-the-point and one of the most divine pop tracks of 2012, in amongst Kid A's bold invention existed a special songwriter. 'BB BLEU''s gaining its first release proper through Technicolour on 3rd June. It's gained a re-recorded version, spanning further and shrouding [...]

Straying away from his former electric pop vibes in Mind Bokeh, Bibio 's seventh album, Silver Wilkinson plays with "folktronica" tropes popularized by Vampire Weekend in the early 002s. His recently released single, "A tout a' huere," shifts between a newfound acoustic style and his staple cheery synths as tumbleweed guitar melodies leave you grasping for a fresh breath of country air. Despite working on his new album, he did a mix for FADER that oddly doesn't even sound similar to the Bibio-esque electronic vibes or folk- tinged vignettes. I personally love [...]
I can never get enough Congolese guitar. I'm so addicted to it that I hunt it down wherever possible, even if it lives outside of the Congolese rumba world. If you read through past posts, ... read more

vi abbiamo già parlato spesso dei Jagwar Ma , duo electro-psych-pop australiano, come una delle formazioni più promettenti di quest’anno: quando manca meno di un mese all’uscita del loro album di esordio Howlinì, prevista per il 10 Giugno, ci torniamo ancora una volta, con il loro mix per Fader :

Photo: Chris Sweda, Chicago Tribune A lot of Chicago went into this writing. The city was heavy on my mind after reading the Tribune's "Life After Hadiya," an article focusing on Hadiya Pendleton, the Chicago teen killed as an innocent bystander just weeks after attending President Obama's Inauguration. The story traces the path of the bullet, which struck Hadiya as she sat in the park, to today as the 15-year-old's three close friends - all of whom were there with Pendleton - try to move [...]
Silver Wilkinson, Bibio's seventh album, is a career high point for the eclectic Black Country musician, bridging the best notes of his earthy folk to his woozy beat work, sometimes in the same song. The ... read more
![EARMILK x BIRDDOG Presents: Slava, Teams, Cities Aviv, Solar Year, Brothertiger @ Living Bread 4/10 [Event]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4935146_lg.jpg)
Bushwick's finest deli, Living Bread, is allowing us to co-host a party with BirdDog this Friday. Be warned, this isn't any deli or any party. When Living Bread isn't swarmed with the hungry Morgan stop residents, this deli/bodega dims the lights, clears away their tables and chairs, transplants a beer booth in a corner, and sets up a sound station to present a new DIY music venue. This is as "brooklyn" as anything gets. With such an under-the-radar layout already, our event with David of BirdDog Promotions is an experimental dance party featuring Slava , [...]
