Yacht funk meets balearica in Greeen Linez ’ swanky daytime disco production “Hibiscus Pacific”. Greeen Linez is a collaboration between Christopher Greenberg (a member of Hong Kong in the 60s ) and Matt Lyne ( A Taut Line ), residents of Cambridge and Tokyo respectively. If you aren’t well-versed in the “yacht funk” genre, that may be because there only seem to be a handful of artists recording in it right now, most notably Binary favorite Hemingway . It’s basically what it sounds like: groovy, funky high-class elevator music with roots in '70s soft rock [...]

image: via flickr This is about Matt Van Schie. Yes, the one from Van She. He's been doing his solo thing for a while now with the not-too-long-ago debut solo release of the fun " Balmy Nights EP " -while his bandmate, Michael Di Francesco is doing remix wizardry under the name Arithmatix! . (need more van she tech circa 06-07 in my life) There has been a stream of remixes to supplement this EP release and a chilled out remix of Matt Van Schie by none other [...]

Something old and something blue. His choice of the haunting melody of Futurecop!'s N.A.S.A. makes Theophilus London one tight motherfucker for using it on his song Humdrum Town . Tuff beat, spicy-nice flow and a floating refrain takes u on a voyage thru sparkling lights. This is the best combination of "rap" and Dreamwave we spinned @ our HQ since such genres like Yachtfunk, Spacylectric Fonk, Unicorn Rap and Laserbeat occured. Mp3: Theophilus London - Humdrum Town [...]

This Hungarian kid is with us for a lot of months, a lot of moments and a lot of sets: We Plants Are Happy Plants , shortened WPAHP, hanging around in Budapest and kicking great tracks after great tracks. He fully sustained his position in the huge world of electronic/dreamwave/yacht-fun k with the gorgeous publications he dropped that year. To name only a few: 1. Sell Your Soul (+ s.e.x.y video-clip ) 2. Apollo 3. Bluebird 4. Lullaby 5. Sailing In A Dreamboat and a million of haunting, stellar remixes of [...]

In the blogosphere, handling electronic stuff/remixes/pitches/snacks/e tc, exist combinations of musicians, that gleam extra-bright, if you only think about them. Expect what happens when musical dreams come true, like the pair of hardknocking kids we're going to pop with this glock: the bosses of Electrofunk in 2K9 O'Spada give high five to the LA-County-Trooper of Yachtfunk NightWaves . This gang will enrich your day with airy melodies and heartrending beats, escorted by the beauftiful vocals of Julia. Mp3: O'Spada - Ten Strikes (NightWaves Midnight Fire Remix) Mp3: [...]

Yesterday stellar yachtfunk-collective Valerie from France proudly announced the free download of the exclusive first track from the new 73 Maethelvin & Stephen Falken split limited (500 copies) vinyl The Last Escape/Cruising , produced by Valerie themselves and Freedanger. "If one track must represent the spirit of Valerie, it's Cruising." (College - Oct. 2009) Definitely the best soundtrack for chasing cars and watching tv shows from the 80s on mute. If you fancy you have to hug, holla @, kiss, yell, bow before, support Valeries and their production by [...]

Gov Mgmt surprises with an absolutely cheesy electronic track by G.O.V., called Forever , that was originally a track by the Pelifics . Gov Mgmt headed following story with the track: G.O.V. was browsing through Hype Machine and found the Hemingway Remix and was so inspired by it that he wrote this entire song in 20 minutes. The song is satirical in nature and is making fun of all the things guys have to do in the cat and mouse game also known as dating. The remix and more to come are [...]

image: flickr Who else would I be talking about? Hemingway brings us back to his 116ft super yacht for an intergalactic space-cruise through the milky way of funk. Just as I was feeling the yacht-funk vibe taper off, James Harris aka Hemingway brings the vibe to new heights with his rework of Keenhouse's "Ari-es" taking us to interstellar-bongo-yacht-funk critical mass . Believe me when I have said [...]

image: lewis and clark expedition via flickr Not the novelist. Yacht Funk master, Hemingway just dished this one out to me which promptly made my pupils dilate and ears perk up with anticipation. It's fun to watch as Hemingway continues to build his repertoire of sounds -especially the way he uses certain elements. I'm so down. You last saw him early this year with a remix of Pelifics , and now he's back with a remix of The Virgins ' [...]
