London’s Floating Points is all all over this funky shuffle track. It’s electronic, but still has a live feeling (and no, that’s not just because there is crowd noise at the beginning). This one feels more like it’s being played...
This is amazing: 4 producers wanted to dig through legendarily British DJ Mr Thing‘s equally legendary record collection and sample all they wanted. The only rule was that Nothing Leaves the House. This 4 track record playlist is the result of that day...
Have a listen to this moody, but happily catchy, layered, indie folktronica (yes!) from Sydney’s Caitlin Park. Then, head over to her Soundcloud page and listen to her covering Solange. Then, I don’t know… take a walk, or something.
This is a complete re-work of M.I.A’s 2005 release Pull Up the People (here’s the original) by Paris producer Alesia. But don’t be confused that this is simply a lame remix with a bigger kick drum added… it is a...
So, there’s this Boogaloo: …and then there’s THIS Boogaloo. Both are worth your time this weekend.
Some catchy, spacey guitar pop from London’s Popstrangers, just released on the excellent Washington DC label Carpark Records.
Jack Dixon is a tremendously talented house music producer from Brooklyn, NY. I have been trying for about 10 minutes, and cannot do better than his bio on Soundcloud: His intricate productions sound as much at home on a packed,...
Rafi El is a Los Angeles-based singer, songwriter and producer who has created a really good album that was released on Dutty Artz in late January. This is a track from that album, called Colapso. My Spanish is pretty poor, but...
This is puuuuure Netherlands… Dutch producer GANZ remixes Hamertje Tik’s Sleepless Nights.
Happiness is a sad song. A brand new track that sounds unlike anything else in the MadDecent camp (in Soundcloud, they categorized this as “Sad Bangers” – ha!). This song is achingly good – and will probably remind you a...
Both Maya Jane Coles and Bonobo are must-listen producers – 2 greats who make warm, analogue-friendly sounds in the digital age. Everything they release is worth your time. Turn this up loud and have a great weekend.
The Field have let echoing voices, phased drums and monstrous synths take Wild Beasts‘ Wanderlust to a very different place…
This something very weird and quite wonderful from UK band Adult Jazz. I honestly have no idea how to describe this… Just listen.
Black Atlass is a tremendously talented 18-yr old producer from Montreal. This is from his EP Young Bloods (Fools Gold) and is in a perfect place between dreamy soundscape and Deltron 3030-grade hip hop. Gorgeous.
I can’t quite figure out who or what SLUGGERS is, except that he/she/they is/are from Miami. I DO know, however, that SLUGGERS has done quite a number on Diplo’s Revolution. Crank it up here – and make sure you’ve got...
