Just 4 days from Cris Cab mixtape release of “Echo Boom” and we already have another preview of what is to come on January 31st. The young Miami native has gotten Mavado and new friend Wyclef to help with the song “Rihanna’s Gun”. Not going to far into the reggae spectrum, Cris Cab still creates a laid back, summer song.
Echo Boom will be available everywhere January 31, presented by Billionaire Boys Club

Antipodean band The Bamboos have been around for 10 years, and to celebrate this impressive milestone they’re releasing a double A-side single ‘Eel Oil’/'Wihelm Scream’. ‘Wilhelm Scream’ is a cover of British minimalist electronic artist James Blake, and features Megan Washington’s soulful vocals against some solid brass. A must-have for lovers of smooth funk, this limited edition single is available now.
Squelch & Clap’s 123MRK is an up-and-coming french electronic and dubstep artist who is known for his complex beats. His new single “Untroubled” is a perfect example of the style that has made him popular; with it’s broken rhythms, vocal samples, and synth leads it’s a crazy ride from start to finish.
Whenever I listen to electronic music I tend to do it when I’m driving, and “Untroubled” is perfect for that. The layering builds and builds, lead by vocal samples that sit on top of everything and imply melody to move the song. The broken rhythms that come in around the one minute mark really showcase the talent of 123MRK as a dub artist, dismantling the beat without disrupting its overall flow.
123MRK’s album “Refined Madness” is now availble here.
We’ve been fans of Lemâitre since 2010, when they dropped ‘The Friendly Sound’ and ‘Nishio’ (which you can get here). the Olso act have returned with ‘Coffee Table’, a collection of seemingly random sounds jumbled together to create a wonderfully eccentric slice of electro-pop that has great dancefloor potential. The brave and slightly mental ‘Coffee Table’ is featured on Lemâitre’s new EP, ‘Relativity I’.
Gangrene, comprised of The Alchemist and Oh No, are ready to drop their second full length album, Vodka & Ayahuasca, via Decon Records this week. Straight up: this west coast psychedelic hip-hop collaboration does not fuck around. There’s some weird, grimy beats and lyrics that make you ask yourself, “did he just say that?”
The featured tracks are Dump Truck and Drink Up, but the real diamond on this album is Flame Throwers, and as the title suggests, that banger comes with some heat. Enjoy the free stream, and if it tickles your fancy, pick up a copy this week.

Londoner Burial (AKA William Bevan) has been gaining recognition over the years as one of the UK’s most interesting producers, with his music bending genres such as dubstep, ambient and house. ‘Endorphine’ was released all the way back in 2007 on Burial’s second LP, ‘Untrue’, and has been remixed by US artist Diminutive. A darkly atmospheric reworking, ‘Endorphine’ is a truly momentous piece of house, and is the perfect soundtrack to walking through empty streets at night. This remix is part of Diminutive’s ‘Burial Remixes’ EP.

Jonathan Visger, the sole and incredible talent behind Absofacto, does not just create sound. Absofacto creates experiences that extend beyond the electronic and into an uncautiously experimental world that is deeply rooted with genuine emotion. His latest release, ‘Lies’ is a beautiful, soft, borderline-playful-yet-dark delicacy of sparkly xylophone notes and longing vocals. While the instrumentation is electronic in nature, containing electric guitar riffs, keyboard and filtered groovy basslines, the entire process comes across very organic. Absofacto has the ability to induce emotion with his music in a way many fail, and quite truly that is what great music is all about. Follow him on facebook today.
