Yes : Dancing Through The Light

The 80s provided an interesting time for Prog rock as it began to dip into the world of synths and New Wave. This led to an interesting collaboration between Yes and The Buggles. Trevor Horn of The Buggles stepped in to vocal duties and Geoff Downes on synth/keys. Here is a track off the remastered version of the album that reminds me of Yellow Magic Orchestra. #2manysynths #2manyvocoder

Toro y Moi : New Beat + FACT Mag Mix

Toro y Moi is in the process of shedding his Chillwave shell and sprout wings that show he is a proper artist that can produce more than just lo-fi tracks. Underneath the Pine is his 2nd full length release, an album that sounds like The Whitest Boy Alive meets Stereolab/Broadcast with heavy sprinkling of boogie a la Dam-Funk. “New Beat” is the first single off the album, a highly appropriate name for a funky tune that shows that Toro y Moi is not just riding a chill wave and wants to dance.

Toro y Moi – New Beat

This FACT Mag mix is seems to be a road map to how Toro y Moi came to his new funky sound, one part odd 70s funk tracks and contemporary House and UK experimental electronica.

James Blake : Tep and The Logic

James Blake welcome to the big leagues as you are signed to Universal here in America and as blog giants such as Perez Hilton blog the shit out of you. The most amazing thing about James Blake is not just his production quality and songwriting but his ability to make you feel like the music is just for you. His music becomes a gem that you want to cherish and keep to yourself as that artist that you discovered on your own.

Apparently this is a bonus track off of James Blake’s self-titled debut album. An eerie track soaked in reverb with a creaking drum pattern and howling vocal samples that is deconstructed into something that echos his post-dubstep predecessor and godfather, Burial.

Fantastic Mr Fox : Mix for Vice Magazine

I cannot stop listening to this mix by Fantastic Mr Fox – amazing tracklist and overall vibe. You can’t go wrong with all those Jamie XX tracks especially “Far Nearer” (I need this track!) as well as some Gold Panda and quite an amazing remix of Usher “Nice & Slow”.

FREE GUCCI 2: THE BURRRTISH EDITION COMPILED BY SINDEN

Download: FREE GUCCI 2: THE BURRRTISH EDITION COMPILED BY SINDEN

The electronic/dance world is infatuated with the one and only GUCCI MANE, the rapper that has taken rap onto a level of absurd that has not been seen before in the mainstream world. He embodies all that is “swag” and “I don’t give a fuck” in the rap world. The Brits decided to take on his swagitutde by re-working Gucci’s party jams into swagtastic UK club tracks. Download the mixtape compiled by Sinden here. Listen to some of my fav cuts below, I am definitely surprised to see These New Puritans on this comp. BURRRR
