Nautiluss is the alias of Toronto-based producer Graham Zilla who is channeling the UK club spirit with warm acid-techno vibes. His “Alpha EP” is a collection of 4 tracks that borrow Lone’s warm synth sounds and mixes them with Joy Orbison and Boddika’s deep house & acid sounds. “Cloud City” and “Mixed Numbers” are the two standout tracks for me on this release. These tunes will be on rotation for me this summer.
Twin Shadow’s sophomore record “Confess” is out July 10 on 4AD. “Five Seconds” is the first tune off the album that delves into a new wave rockabilly vibe with it’s hip-shaking Schaffel beat. Stream and download the track below.
The mysterious Kindness has one over my heart with his album “World, You Need A Change of Mind”. It is an album that sits in a place somewhere between nostalgic music while being the most exciting and forward thinking collection tunes out today. After reading this candid Q&A with Kindness in Interview Mag, you really get an understanding of what a self-aware character Adam Bainbridge is and how he curates and positions himself.
“House” is a standout tune on the album. It is most fit for a “single” with its simple piano chords, big pop synth sounds and its emotional hook that you just want to sing along with. “World, You Need a Change of Mind” is out May 8 in the US on Terrible Records/Casablanca Records. Pre-Order the album here. For those of you in NYC, Kindness will make his live debut at Le Poisson Rouge May 17 and DJ at the Tribeca Grand May 19.
Also could this be the drum sample in for the track? Ace Frehley “New York Groove”? Good ear, Geoff.
PS Check out this mixtape I made for COLT+RANE that I close with “House”.

Lone has crafted this beautiful journey of a mix that clocks in just under 42 minutes for his label, the prolific R&S Records. The first 4 minutes alone are worth the listen of this mix which he begins with a tune featuring Thom Yorke (that I need help identifying) into a tasteful remix of Aphex Twin’s “Windowlicker”. There is an unexpected but welcomed dive into some classic boogie/disco tunes that segue into some of Lone’s warm productions with a closing by an Evian Christ tune.

Montreal’s CFCF is set to release his concept EP “Exercises” next week. “Exercises” is an exercise the modes of variation and repetition that the greats of the 20th Century Modern Music utilize in many of their prolific works. CFCF is heavily informed by these techniques and provides a clear view of the intersections of dance, electronic, and modern composition. Stream the entire EP below via Hypemachine.
An updated edit of Crystal Waters’ classic “Gypsy Woman” by Manchester’s own Krystal Klear entitle “Krystal Waters”. Definitely a crowd pleaser.
