I caught Kindness down at the Fader Fort down at SXSW back in March and was very excited to see the live rendition of Adam Bainbridge’s project. Kindness did not come with their A-game at SXSW, granted it was their third show as a band and they did not have a proper soundcheck, I was mildly disappointed. I am a forgiving person and decided to give them a second chance and caught them live last night at Le Poisson Rouge at Josh & Dave P’s Fixed party. My experience was far from what I heard and saw down at SXSW, for they put on one of the most fun and entertaning shows I have been to in a while. [Read more]
“Fast cars, money, but no record label to truly call my own? This ends today… ” – Julio Bashmore
Julio Bashmore has taken his life into his own hands and is launching his own imprint, Boardwalk Records. The first release is his own tune “Au Seve” – a track that delves deeper into Julio’s bass filled house of a mind. Read more about Julio’s label here. Massif choons coming soon.
This is the first of new music from Yesayer, a cerebral pop tune that washes over you with synths and a tight bass and drum groove. It may not be over the top pop single that “Ambling Alp” was but it does have an epic sweeping outro that calls out to this Henrietta. Good to see that Yeasayer checked off “write a song with a female name” from their musical to-do-list. I am intrigued to hear the rest of their new tunes.
Azealia Banks seems to be going down the list of every hot producer out today first Machinedrum now Hudson Mohawke and Nick Hook on her first single, “Jumanji” off her debut “1991 EP”. Let’s see what happens after all the hype-dust settles to see if Azealia Banks has staying power. I think she may survive with this team of producers she has assembled. We shall see…
Para One has crafted one of the finest releases this year with the help of Teki Latex and the Marble Records team. “Lean On Me” is a futuristic R’n'B track that nods at Aphex Twin and Squarepusher “My Red Hot Car”. This track will be getting some heavy rotation from me this year. The remixes on the release are are fantastic as well especially the Hrdvsion Remix.
Hudson Mohawke and Lunice announce officially that their meeting of the minds, TNGHT will release their debut single July through Warp x LuckyMe Records. Massive choonsz.
Emil & Friends re-visions Neon Indians’ uptempo synth pop song into a slow burner banger. Stream and download the cover below. Also be sure to pick up the new Kitsuné AMERICA compilation featuring a new Emil & Friends song entitled “Royal Oats”.
“Originally a purely synth based uptempo dancefloor-glider, Alan Palomo’s single from his last LP, “Polish Girl” was reworked in my head as a slow steady head banger, seemingly off of the drive soundtrack, with obnoxious rock guitars pounding away on the down beats. Lather, rinse, and repeat.” – Emil
Hello vintage bloghaus. This is quite a pairing to bring us all back to the ancient bloghaus days. A time when bangers ruled the web and leaked mp3s were scarce and gave power to those blogs that leaked it onto a pre-historic hypem. Do you remember those days? Van She in hand with SebastiAn takes us down nostalgia road with a remix of Van She’s latest single “Idea of Happiness”. It is everything we know and love about how SebastiAn can chop, distort, and compress a tune into its proper banger glory. I’m not mad – u mad?
