Datahowler+Trans Bedroom+Lissvik+Swiss
Edit: Cover image replaced due to “appropriation issues” (see comments for info)
I found Datahowler when his album cover above caught my eye, pretty and simple and not too emotional, just the way I like my vocals. Download his 2 song EP here for FREE.
Orchid Tapes is run by the musician Foxes In Fiction, he shares a ton of free EPs by friends and musicians alike and also keeps the cassette community having something to listen to by doing limited runs of albums on cassettes. The most recent release is by 16 year old Trans-Bedroom Sound which includes some real nice airy tones and a perfect soundtrack for an afternoon nap. Pick up the FREE EP here.
Half of Sweden’s slow disco duo Studio comes to us as D. Lissvik is back with a serious world music guitar solo that’s supported by some dark hypnotic sounds, a nice lengthy piece, pretty interested in hearing the rest of this LP.
Disco done unlike anything else these days brought to you by The Swiss.

June 11, 2010 at 8:44 amBravo, sir. This mix forced me to awkwardly dance around the office, much to the chagrin of myself and others. Well played…

June 11, 2010 at 9:01 amI would like to say this was a collage and I was gravely mistaken as to the legal rights of this. I just made this as a collage never intended for sale or even to be a release of this size. Andy contacted me and I’m
sorry to any parties offended the cover will be reworked and was never intended as thievery in any way. Once again sorry I was gravely mistaken on how images can be used in collages and it won’t happen again. Hopefully people enjoy the music still.

June 11, 2010 at 10:36 amHey Jakob,
I have spoken to Andy and I will be reworking this. What a terrible misunderstanding. I will have you a new cover shortly so your blog doesn’t have a gap in it. Thanks to everyone for being cordial, especially Andy.

June 11, 2010 at 1:21 pmHAHA. Collage?
I recognized that as Andy Gilmore’s art immediately. By the way, Andy Gilmore fucking rocks.
