Deadmau5 is known to release tracks he comes up with the night before on a live stream session, and “Fn Pig” is one of them (kinda). A similar sounding teaser was uploaded about a year ago titled “Get In The Cart, Pig” and it seems to have evolved into what “Fn Pig” is today. While we may not feature every single clip he creates, this one is worth checking out. More than 8 full minutes of industrial sounding progressive house that will get you ready for the weekend.
“Ambience & power, power and grace” sing The Daydream Club on ‘Neon Love Song (Part II)’ … and their new single arrives with bags of all three. There’s a real sense of grandeur to this reworking of the song, as the Leicester based couple’s tender two part harmonies ride an immersive arrangement of piano and swirling strings.
‘Neon Love Song (Part II)’ drop on May 28th via The Daydream Club’s own Poco Poco label and comes backed with a haunting Centaurs remix, which you can download below.
One of the hottest underground acts out there is AlunaGeorge, a duo made up of – wait for it – singer Aluna Francis and producer George Reid. ‘Just A Touch’ is a perfect example of what this talented pair can do. Featuring some sweet beats and handclaps layered over Aluna’s gorgeous vocals, ‘Just A Touch’ is the perfect soundtrack to those lazy hazy days. You can download their EP ‘You Know You Like It’, or wait for the 12″ release on June 12.
Paper Diamond has certainly accomplished a lot since beginning the project in 2011. His first EP “Levitate” saw rapid success on the free Pretty Lights Label, he started his own label, Elm And Oak, to put out music from some of his favorite up and coming artists and he has toured all over the world playing his futuristic sounds. For his latest 3 track EP “Wavesight” he has partnered with Mad Decent‘s offshoot Jeffrees to promote the album to a massive audience. For Paper Diamond fans this album is a great listen. “Airlift” is a high energy glitch hop banger with lightning fast arpeggios, heavy beats and gothic chords. “Turn The Lights Off featuring Nasimiyu” delves into the dubstep pop territory with a catchy hook, some massive builds to back it up and some nice wobbles all with a great shuffle feel to it. Finally, “Can We Go Up” steps up the tempo to electro house speeds with excellent detuned melodies and broken bass synths. Overall this EP is short and sweet and we can’t wait to hear more from Paper Diamond as he continues to blow up worldwide. You can preview the album below but be sure to pick it up for free when it drops on May 3rd.
Dream-poppers Beach House dropped ‘Equal Mind”, the B-side to their exclusive Record Store Day 7″ ‘Lazuli’, and we’re astounded. Firstly, it’s only a B-side- this sounds like one of their finest songs. Secondly, because the balance between Victoria Legrand’s ethereal vocals and the mountains of hazy synths is pretty darned perfect. If ‘Equal Mind’ doesn’t get you excited for the release of forthcoming album ‘Bloom’ (out May 15), then we don’t know what will.
A throwback to a remix we really never got a chance to listen to. Thanks to our friends over at raketa4000.ru, we are able to bring you this glitchy experimental madness that evolves into quite possibly one of the best remixes of M83 we have heard.
“Run into Flowers” is from M83′s 2003 album release, Dead Cities, Red Seas & Lost Ghosts.
Run Into Flowers (Jackson Midnight )
It is finally here. Purity Ring, the Canadian ghostly-synthpop duo, bring us their latest release ‘Obedear’. With sharp melodies glazed over a mystic atmosphere, this new track only increases our impatience for the release of their full-lenth album Shrines.
