BodyLanguage+Mujuice+P. American+Burial

Posted by Jakub



Soon to be Soul-dance pop superstars Body Language has innocence, enjoyable stage presence, and danceability nailed down for a crowd any young crowd, download this free EP they’re offering.

Mujuice is a Russian producer i’m pretty sure, i’m guessing he’s kind of young too. He always hooks me in with catchy repetition, reminds me alot of Farben’s Starbox.

Fans of the label Kranky don’t need an introduction to Pan American, I personally prefer listening to most of their earlier material because of how calm it got me.

In my opinion the most dynamic and emotional Burial track, this song has helped me through long drives on this SVIIB tour.

B. Baird+LukeAbbott+TwinShadow+Anoraak

Posted by Jakub



I can’t find too much about Bill Baird but this song is a must hear for an ambient head. From front to back this light horn parts floats over the piece, HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

Luke Abbott’s new album starts over off with these amazing little flutters, I had to share.

Twin Shadow redeemed itself after I heard their new album, I love the Don Henley style guitar playing here.

I’m on a Anoraak kick because of his synth work but i’m not feeling these vocals, still a pretty solid listen, I can see alot of people enjoy this.

Atlas Sound+Arp+Matthew Dear+Eluvium

Posted by Jakub



Rocking with the new Deerhunter record is fun but I hate wearing out a record too early so I started digging thru some Atlas Sound and pulled out this gem of an early EP.

Arp has some light synth work that takes some time to grow but that growing time is where you want spend your time listening, soo relaxing.

For those who bought the Matthew Dear album on CD you didn’t get this digital bonus from Matt. Its a new spectrum of that circular sound he does that grabs me.

I’ve noticed i’ve been looking for more tasteful piano music, Eluvium and Peter Broderick have been my go to’s, any more suggestions? I know its a huge can of worms to bust open, I don’t need any BS like Radiohead piano covers or dumb shite like that.

Deerhunter + Seams + Apparat + Copy

Posted by Jakub



The new Deerhunter is everywhere, you probably already listened to it but its well worth posting, when Bradford starts singing slower in Helicopter it grabs my ear, probably my favorite moment in the record.

Seams put up a free download recently, its beautiful, Four Tet-ish with whirlwind kind of feel, highly recommend you download.

I’m always excited for new Apparat, I expect him to always deliver epic speedy melodic material tastefully and he did just that, everything thats underlaying in the song gorgeous too, needs to be heard more than once, I could go with out the marching band breakdown though.

I don’t need to file Copy under any genre its not worth the hassle to place him somewhere because its not going to help explain how much I love this tune.

The Walkmen+Anoraak+Glasser+Hooray!

Posted by Jakub



I’ve always liked how the singer of The Walkmen voice went along with the guitars and their conservative classic style has made it easy for them to be a big hit in the main stream. I listened to the album and thought it was really strong but I found this NPR Session of the song Woe Is Me to be what i’d love to put on if i’m going to listen to The Walkmen.

More Neon Indian remixes, this one comes from Anoraak from France, if you haven’t noticed yet i’m still a sucker for this gentle 80s sound.

Glasser takes a Fever Ray approach, nothing new here but its done really well. At times in this song I wish Ellen Allien took this approach I think by now she’d be doing big things. Also, one part that grabbed me in this Glasser track was the similarities in the intro with Matthew Dear’s Don’t Go This Way, which I loved, more of that sound please.

Hooray! style is all over the place, I can’t put my finger on it, crunchy kicks or sometimes even pianos, in I Guess… he flattens out simple noisy loops making them sound like the last new minutes of a No Age session that has died down.

Games+Lovelock+Surfer Blood+Quantec

Posted by Jakub



Oneohtrix Point Never is at it again, melting our ears with synth leads and nostalgia as Games, its like the best Saturday morning cartoon intro.

Tangerine Dream did wonders for 80’s film scores and musicians, Lovelock follows down that path with this spacey light hearted jam.

Twin Shadow how are you going to just rip one of the most popular guitar loops out of a Police song and have the balls to put your name on it?!

On the road i’ve been listening to a ton of older and newer techy Dub, it makes the mind numbing 10 hour a day drives go by abit less painful.

Bibio + Samiyam + Rustie + Balam Acab

Posted by Jakub



Free spirited Gonjasufi gets reworked by label mate Bibio and its a real unique outcome. Don’t expect the usual guitar or anything worn in sounding, instead organs driving the song into this distorted bass guitar breakdown, it sounds better than I can describe it.

To help promote the upcoming Shigeto debut album Full Circle, Ghostly International is giving away some high profile remixes. The head nod master Samiyam takes Shigeto’s And We Gonna and slaps it around a bit into a low key west coast jam, download it here.

You want a gnarly release to wrap your head around then go out and pick up Rustie’s new EP that came out on Warp today. Its like Sonic the Hedgehog spinning out of control and getting tangled in miles of cassette tape thats being fast forwarded, i’m a fan of this kids creativity, he’s really setting the bar high for how wild this beat music can get and still be super enjoyable.

I keep looking at the name Balam Acab and think its another word just spelled backwards but its not. With the success of Baths I keep running into more beat releases with reverbed lyrics. I really love the use of the water related field recordings in this one, I hope to see this act live.

Brian Eno + Redshape + Pandatone + Fenton

Posted by Jakub




Oh man this first preview of the new Brian Eno’s LP on Warp Records has me geeked, have a listen above, it grows into a bit of an educated punk kids dream.

Deep techno wizard Redshape is always on my radar, I prefer his singles over any other material, if you ever want to hear someone holding down the early melodic Detroit sound than look no further than this man.

Brooklyn’s Pandatone glitches out on a low key folk venture, for some reason after hearing this I started to miss the labels like Hefty and earlier Mush, those were the days for this kind of sound.

I imagine that if I had a playlist for snowshoeing in the dark i’d putting a bunch of Fenton on it.
