[TMN RESIDENCY] Introducing Our Next Resident Artist: Galimatias

For so many of us, October signifies the changing of the seasons. As we usher in chilly weather, multi-colored foliage, good books, and hearty, home-cooked meals, we’re always looking to gleefully embrace music that matches those impending changes. Switching it up from the sun-soaked festival anthems and catchy-as-hell indie pop chart toppers, we can’t help but be drawn to tunes that are a little slower, a little more mysterious, and a little more relaxing to flood our airways.

As we welcome in all of the above, we’re also welcoming in a brand new resident artist, and one who has a style that’s perfect for slowing down, and taking life in, minute-by-minute, moment-by-moment.

If you haven’t figured it out by now, we’re, of course, talking about Danish artist Galimatias. Most of you should be familiar with his work by now, especially the stunning pieces composed with Alina Baraz. He flawlessly incorporates a wide array of genres, seamlessly fusing together elements of R&B, reggae, and soul, amongst others. All of those neatly combined influences shine brightly in the most recent EP, Urban Flora, which boasts eight sultry, seductive, and highly addictive songs. If at this point, you’re wondering what exactly that experience entails, please press play below. We’ve made it easy on you by including the entire collection, plus a few of our other favorites. Be warned, though, it might incite the need for some top shelf booze and quality time with your significant other. It always does for us, at least.

One thing that fans and bloggers haven’t seen much with this now Los Angeles-based musician is his personal side. His facebook is bare, showcasing only a few select photos. Interviews with him are hard to come by, as well, with only a few select publications getting the opportunity to dig a little bit deeper into the man behind the music.

For all these reasons, we couldn’t be more pleased to bring on Galimatias as our Resident Artist for the next month. We’ll be bringing you an in-depth interview, some exclusive music, and a few other surprises as well. Make sure to stay tuned all month long.

’Alina Baraz & Galimatias – Unfold’
’Alina Baraz & Galimatias – Maybe’
’Alina Baraz & Galimatias – Show Me’
’Alina Baraz & Galimatias – Can I’
’Alina Baraz & Galimatias – Fantasy’
’Alina Baraz & Galimatias – Pretty Thoughts’
’Alina Baraz & Galimatias – Make You Feel’
’Alina Baraz & Galimatias – Drift’
’Galimatias – Ocean Floor Kisses’
’Porter Robinson – Sea Of Voices (Galimatias Remix)’

[Pop] MØ – Kamikaze (prod. Diplo)

_MØ_
Kamikaze

With the success of “Lean On,” Danish vocalist  is well on her way to stardom, and rightfully so–she glides over electronic soundscapes with a grace and character matched by few of her contemporaries. If you’re not familiar with the rest of her catalogue, we’d highly recommend giving her album No Mythologies To Follow a listen. Yesterday, Annie Mac premiered MØ’s latest Diplo-produced single, which serves as a fitting progression in their ongoing series of collaborations. “Kamikaze,” similar to “Lean On,” features a markedly downtempo backdrop with an understated catchiness designed to grow with every listen. Once again, MØ proves she knows exactly how to bring out the best in Diplo’s production and that not every pop song has to be obnoxiously formulaic. Here’s what she had to say about working with Diplo:

 I love working with Diplo. It’s always such a fun and open-minded creative process. It’s about making memorable songs but, more than that, it’s about making pop music that wants to push boundaries. I’ve been loving all kinds of pop since I first fell in love with the Spice Girls, but pop needs to bring something new to the table, it needs balls. And that’s what you get working with Diplo. Making Lean On and being a part of that tornado these past eight months has been one of the greatest experiences in my life so far, and I’m super happy that “Kamikaze” is made in a collaboration with the same group of my friends.

Here’s to hoping the stream of MØ and Diplo collabs continue!

[Future Funk/Hip-Hop] Warp9 – Milky Way Jello ft. Everyman, WilldaBeast & Safi’s Lab

Warp9
Milky Way Jello

Why are crossover records so darn delicious? We could answer that, but instead, we’re going to just share with you a new hybrid single from Warp9 called “Milky Way Jello” that fuses future funk with hip-hop. It’s been done before here and there, but this record is definitely groovier than the rest. Warp9 enlists rapper Everyman, horn player/producer Willdabeast and Safi’s Lab for the record that was released as a part of the Milky Way Jello EP on Adapted Records. “Milky Way Jello” is a sexy medley of nearly too much good stuff, which is why I’ve had it on repeat all day today. Whether you’re chilling with your friends, in a road trip, or looking to dance, this is the record you need. Check the rest of the EP out through Beatport, where you can buy the single, or the entire EP if you’re feeling it.

[Electro House] Dyro – Like A Boss

Dyro
Like A Boss [Out now]

WOLV Records brought the heat straight from the studio of its label head Dyro with “Like A Boss.” Dyro, who’s currently at ADE, has had some killer records in the past, but this one especially blows us away. The bass house phase that electro is going through is turning up some quality records, but Dyro takes his own path to bring forth something that has a little extra oomph and style behind it. “Like A Boss” is more than a burst of energy; it’s an all out barrage of aggressive bass samples that will stop at nothing until you are dancing your ass off. He surprised us with this one, but we’re glad he did. After a little delay, the song was finally released, so it is currently available on Beatport for those of you who want to toss it on your digital devices.

[Indie Rock] The Hunna – Bonfire/She’s Casual

It seems to happen when we least expect it. We spend hours sifting through music in dozens of different avenues, from SoundCloud, to email submissions, to random tweets from artists, and so on. We find tunes that we enjoy on a daily basis, casually putting them in our list for possible posts to happen in the following week. Every once in a while, though, maybe twice a year, we come across something that leaves us with a cartoonishly gaping jaw and trembling fingers, giving us the instantaneous urge to write it up. Ninjas and ninjettes, that’s exactly what we have here today.

The Hunna are a Hertfordshire four-piece consisting of Ryan (Vocals/Guitar), Dan (Lead Guitar), Jermaine (Bass) and Jack (Drums). This is more than likely the first time you’ve heard of them, given the fact that “Bonfire” and “She’s Casual” only came out two days ago. Upon pressing play, you’ll quickly realize this is a name that you’ll soon hear a lot more of in the near future.

First up in this two-track collection is “Bonfire,” which was produced by Tim Larcombe (Lana Del Rey, Halsey) and mixed by Dan Grech (Wolf Alice, Circa Waves). It’s frenetic, yet extremely polished, carrying the heft of a band that’s been writing songs for decades. Drenched in anthemic nature, it immediately insights the need to start singing along, which is incredibly rare for a debut release.

The B-side to this tune is “She’s Casual,” dials back the intensity a bit, showcasing an impressive lyrical ability and cadence that lures listeners in within seconds. The track then switches back and forth effortlessly, showcasing larger-than-life crescendos and calming breaks rife with playful hums paired with a steady kick.

With a debut release as impressive as these, we have to imagine that the live show is equally as impressive. Check out their tour schedule below the players, and pick up some tickets ASAP.
