Flosstradamus made a track with some...ahem... smoky undertones. Take this track, titled "Rollup," and put it through the goofy sounds filter of Baauer and you get this sexy, nasty, kitchen sink remix. This track popped up and it's my weekend hype song for sure, and I don't even smoke. It's off the new, "Fool's Gold Clubhouse vol. 23 collection [...]
Photo by Pavlina Summers Posts from me have been and will be scarce for a bit longer due to a cross-coastal move. What can bring me to dig my laptop out of a mound of personal crap I decided to lug? A new track from The Helio Sequence. The duo went into a radio silence [...]
For those of you who haven't heard yet, you can stream the Com Truise album through his label, Ghostly. We gave you a preview of a track earlier, here's the whole thing for your robot ears' listening pleasure.
Those polarizing Las Vegasans (Vegasites?) The Killers are back with the first track from Battle Born due out this fall. No one was sure if we would even get a new Killers album but fortunately for us they're back with "Runaways". Landing equidistant between the sounds of '062s Sam's Town and '082s Day & Age, [...]
Anoraak recently released this video for unreleased "Made-up" in promotion of their upcoming tour alongside retro-synth cohorts College and Electric Youth. The Drive tour is what they're calling it, referencing that low budget 2011 movie with that unknown actor Ryan Gosling, which College and Electric Youth shared the featured track "A Real Hero". Anoraak's tunes [...]
We've heard from Beat Connection several times but they just recently released their debut album The Palace Garden. Leave it to a Seattle group to create one of the sunniest summer songs of the year with "The Palace Garden, 4AM" which is perfect for a July day at 4PM or AM. Their sound has definitely [...]
Just in time for your hazy digitized summer Com Truise will be releasing his second full length for you to defrag to poolside. The record entitled In Decay is due out July 17th on Ghostly International sounds like it will be another gem in Truise's catalog electronic music recorded via VHS. Com Truise - " [...]
Stars are preparing for their sixth studio release and first since 20102s The Five Ghosts. The album entitled The North is due out September 4th. Below is the synth filled first track "The Theory of Relativity". Enjoy! Stars - "The Theory of Relativity"
Vizzy went from one of my favorite rappers to sitting alone at that position with the Pop Culture Mixtape he just dropped. It's an amazing amalgamation of great lyrics and beats. And the title isn't just for show either. Every track is filled with random XV style references that endear him to the listener like [...]
Just when you thought Lana Del Rey's "Video Games" had reached critical mass Orlando producer Luminary Youth drops a fresh sample giving it a rebirth. File this guy next to Clams Casino, Star Slinger, and your other favorite distorted, choppy instrumental hip-hop producers. If you're into this track you'll dig his newly released Unwritten Future [...]
Greetings all. As the newest member of the SlaptheBass team, I felt I should give a quick introduction to the types of things you can expect to see from me. As you can tell from some earlier posts, I am very much into exactly what the other guys are (and hopefully what you are). This is an [...]
Welcome to the weekend. Strap on your floaties, crack a beer, and press play. Leading off is a new chill track from 21 year old Detroit producer GRiZ. Next up a couple new mashups from the masters The Hood Internet and Xaphoon Jones to kick it up a notch. Then turn it on up to [...]
Snowmine are back with another fantastic single. Everything about this track just soars, the guitar hook, the vocals, the keys. These guys are seriously on the brink of blowing up. Head HERE to download "Saucer Eyes" along with their remix of Twin Sister's "Meet the Frownies". Snowmine - "Saucer Eyes"
Sometimes right from start of a song you know you've found your new favorite song. They hit you right in your personal sweet spot from the top and don't let up until you've listened to it on repeat seven or eight times. Welcome to my sweet spot. My ears immediately perked with approval as the [...]
Danish producer Tomas Barfod, also WhoMadeWho drummer, recently released his latest album Salton Sea featuring this little gem. "November Skies" may be the title but this track is more suited for a sweaty summer dance floor than late fall. Its woozy synths and swelling nature set the stage for featured siren Nina Kinert to take [...]
Experimental electronicist Matthew Dear is prepping for the release of a new full length on August 27th entitled Beams. The first track off the album "Her Fantasy" features Dear's typical crooning over an entrancing, almost tropical beat. Head over HERE to Ghostly International to pre-order. Matthew Dear - "Her Fantasy"
One of Sub Pop's newest signee's is the Australian quartet Husky. Made up by cousins Husky Gawenda (guitar and vocals) and Gideon Preiss (keyboards) and backed by Evan Tweedie (bass) and Luke Collins (drums) the group create a massive folk soundscape. Their first single "History's Door" is a great introduction. Building from Gawenda's quick picking and elegant melodies [...]
Parisian producer Onra crossed my radar last year when I caught some tracks for his excellent Chinoiseries Pt. 2, but I never got the chance to talk him up. Fortunately this track floated by this week. "L.O.V.E." is as far from the mish-mash of Chinese and Vietnamese sampling I first heard from him. Calculated arpeggios, [...]
It's always nice to hear something new from the mysterious SBTRKT even if it's not an official step towards an album. Per the SoundCloud post he's back in the studio working on ep's, album, etc., but there is no plan for the track "gamelena". Thanks for sharing SBTRKT. SBTRKT - "gamelena"
Gold Panda - "Mountain" Gold Panda marks his first official release since 20102s Lucky Shiner with this 73. Derwin himself explains the tracks as such: Listening to ‘Mountain’ again on a trip to Japan over New Year, we flew directly over Mt.Fuji and it seemed to just fit what I was seeing out of [...]
