Shlohmo – Rained the Whole Time (Nicolas Jaar Remix) [Stream]

vacation remixes

Last week, it seemed that a large percentage of the electronic ‘blogosphere’ hype was (rightfully) centred around Shlohmo’s Vacation -EP. On top of that, the L.A. producer finally dropped a studio recording of his “Crew Love” remix (check that out here if you haven’t already).  However, this week, the tides have turned and Shlohmo is the one receiving [...]

Crew-Love-Shlohmo-Remix

Who ever thought Take Care standout “Crew Love” could get any sexier? Well, thanks to L.A. beatmaker Shlohmo it just did. After a live rip of the remix managed to reach the ears of Abel Tesfaye, The Weeknd ringleader took to his Tumblr and promptly requested that Shlohmo record a studio version. That recording is now available [...]

Teen Daze – Brooklyn Sunburn [MP3]

teen daze

Here’s a new track from Abbotsford, British Columbia artist Teen Daze. I’m reluctant to call it “chillwave” (that’s sooo 2010) but the dreamy synths and elated atmosphere toootally vibe that way.

Virtual Boy – Let Go [MP3]

virtual boy

Yesterday, Alpha Pup Records dropped the second single from the debut album of intriguing electronic duo Virtual Boy. I can’t say that I’ve heard any buzz surrounding the album or Virtual Boy for that matter, so, I’ve taken it upon myself to put this “buzzwagon” in motion. “Let Go” opens with a vocoder that is curiously reminiscent of [...]

Existance – Miles Apart EP

existance

It’s only been one year since the birth of Edinburgh, UK-based netlabel Cut Records but their ninth release and first of 2012 is a rightful indication of Cut’s maturity. Founded by DJ/Producer/Designer DFRNT in January 2011, Cut plays host to an assemblage of upstart UK producers. Suave, chilled-out dub-techno with elements of UK garage is [...]

Objekt to Release New EP on Hessle Audio

artworks-000016620561-c9mxic-original

Objekt’s brooding soundscapes are best suited for dark rooms with just enough bass bins too many. Porcupine is the most accessible track and features a brooding acid line and pulsating percussive elements. Cactus is the type of song reserved for earl in the night or earlier in the morning. Simple in its complexity. stream the [...]
