Never write off Keep Shelly In Athens, its genre bending when it comes soft pop music with an 80s haze over yet fusing in electronics that makes me want to put the song on repeat.

Tim Sweeney is doing an amazing A+R job with Beats In Space. Gonno rides a mysterious line that takes him into a dark caribbean digital world comes out the other end into a colorful synthetic space.

Ariel Pink strips it down and experiments just outside the AM gold sound with Jorge Elbrecht.

Tri Angle grabs up another huge talent for their roster with the signing of Forest Swords. Composition wise he always keeps it interesting by sitting percussion in this distant muffled space that I love.

Samps + Tornado Wallace

These 2 tracks from Samps & Tornado Wallace hold up as a playlist on their own, go deep with both, i’m still floating after hearing them.

Plug Research was a big part of my early exploration in post-IDM material, Oakland’s Shortcircles fits nicely on the roster with his melody driven sparkle and ethereal slow tempos.

Jessy Lanza is one of the more exciting releases coming out on Hyperdub, this video makes me happy, showing us how little you really need budget wise for a video, just creatives in control.

Teen Daze is giving away 3 songs on his Soundcloud for free, this one was the most fitting for this post :)

I’m becoming a big Almunia fan, staying true to his sound and really expanding on it.

I found this catchy, its an edit by LORD Raja of Flying Lotus’ Captain Murphy.

Well you know my favorite album already this year since I probably have posted this song by Majical Cloudz 3 times in different ways, we’ll here’s a live version with video and in interview form to make you go see him live if you haven’t already.

Flaamingos is being put out by my friends label felte. I’ve been bugging him for it for months, the demos I heard made me want to have the music for late night designing as a contrast to what I owned. Their sound is done by many but few times am I this excited to hear a song again and again.

RIP Emeralds…but I guess I love Steve Hauschildt solo a wee bit more.

I was wondering what this new Blondes LP was going to sound like, I DJed with one of them a few months back, such a good dude with a great track selection.
