Devonté Hynes has been making music under many different names, and I am absolutely in love with them all. His latest, Blood Orange approaches nostalgia with the most sublime minimalism and little genre-restriction. “Forget It” is his newest single, and represents the best of a forgotten time in rock music. Grab the rest of the album here for less than $10.
Machinedrum has swallowed the early chunk of 2012, collaborating on new works with Azealia Banks and Om Unit, remixing Bonobo and Gang Colours, and releasing his own SXLND EP on LuckyMe earlier this month. I don’t know how he’s going to keep up at this pace all year, but hearing this Letherette remix of a tune he did with Theophilus London almost three years ago is telling me there still is much more in store. You can catch him on tour with Sepalcure/SBTRKT all spring.
Ernest Gonzales might be better known to some as Mexicans With Guns, but his latest release, Natural Traits , makes his birth name something to remember. I’ve been sitting with it for a few weeks now, and it’s just one of those albums that feels effortlessly good. Sublimely peaceful, it is at once calming and captivating – an admirable achievement for an instrumental album. Its hard to quantify in words, but this video for “The Voice of Fate (I ♥ You)” perfectly plays into its subtleties and serves as a great introduction to the album. You can stream/purchase the rest of the tracks here.
Last week ended with a very nice email from Cascine, who sent over an EP from their latest signee, RxGibbs. Futures EP is definitely more on the chill side of the label’s roster, echoing their description of sanguine, sophisticated dance music with hook laden vocal samples that journey through a seemingly endless myriad of effects and filter sweeps. You can download the album’s title track for free on their soundcloud right now.
The past two years I’ve made mixes to celebrate the joys of friend love (and beautiful music of course), and I’m at it again. This was meant to come to you on Valentine’s Day and “real life” pushed it back, but I think the theme is timeless. This is just a little token to thank you for being with us on this journey, and always remember, Danger Loves You. Tracklist: [...]
