Hanging Garden // Classixx - Fun nouveau disco with some indie vocals

imageSilver Wilkinson // Bibio - Peaceful, delicate, and fragrant soundscapes that let you know its summer time. “A tout a l’heure,” “You,” and “Business Park” are kind of dancy. This album is an interesting blend of guitars and electronic sounds loaded with reverb.

imageThe Way Things Fall // Adult. - If you’re in the mood for neurotic and quirky dance music.

Today’s sound nugget is “Portishead- ‘MACHINEGUN’ (Jimmy Edgar EDIT)” This shit is fire! A deep dark, gritty house tune to let your inner night crawler out. The percussion is just so sexy. AND ITS FREE!

Mount Kimbie to Release New LP; First Single Available for Free Download

Mount Kimbie’s sophomore album is official! The duo announced that their first LP since Crooks & Lovers will be released on May 28th. The Warp Records release entitled Cold Spring Fault Less Youth will contain 11 new tracks, two of which will feature the vocals of King Krule. One of the new tracks titled “Made to Stray” is available for free download HERE. The new track features many layers of shifting percussion and shifts between a bellowing club banger and a mellower yet soulful number that would be well suited for a late night drive around the city. The percussion gives the track more of a house vibe whereas the smooth keyboard chords, the light indie-rock vocals, and the ambient saxophone cacophony in the background give it more of a melancholy and loving jazz vibe. These two sides meld together quite nicely although sometimes it sounds like one element wants to overtake the other but doesn’t quite get there. Its as if the producer was unsure of what sounds they wanted to shine through.

Justin Timberlake - Suit & Tie (Aeroplane remix)

figures the buoyant, sexy hooks of the OG would work well with Aeroplane’s sleek approach to production. Best thing I’ve heard from Aeroplane in some time.

Ghibli//Clubs

The third installation of Ghibli’s youtube sampled album trilogy, titled Clubs, was released on the 7th of this month. The 10-track LP is filled with an array of undulating house jams in the 130bpm range that vary in sentiment from melancholic to gleeful and inhibition free. They are anything but generic due to the qualities inherent in the youtube samples. However, this means that some of the tracks can be a bit crunchy and brash. I recommend the tracks “Vespers” and “Measures Words.” The whole LP is available for free download along with the other two installments, I recommend that you grab them now!

Today’s sound nugget is “Dreams” by n u a g e s.

Lets suppose that you were able every night to dream any dream you wanted to dream, and you would naturally as you began on this adventure of dreams, you would fulfill all your wishes. You would have every kind of pleasure, you see, and after several nights you would say, well that was pretty great, but now lets have a surprise, lets have a dream which isn’t under control. Well something is going to happen to me that i don’t know what it’s gonna be. Then you would get more and more adventurous, and you would make further and further out gambles as to what you would dream, and finally you would dream where you are now.
