• Mercimer feat. Lisa Gagerman – “Walk At Night”
    Mercimer feat. Lisa Gagerman - "Walk At Night"

    This is the first I’m hearing of Mercimer, but I was instantly enamored once I pressed play – not to mention completely in love with the track artwork. The track was released on A New Direction Music – a seemingly new Norwegian label. “Walk at Night” is the lead single off of the Swedish producer’s Leagues EP – officially out today. The vocals are pop at the core, but are [...]

  • Rules – “Dance, Love, Demise”
    Rules - "Dance, Love, Demise"

    DC-area producer Rules has followed up his self-titled EP, with a new track, “Dance, Love, Demise”. It starts out with super dark pitch shifted r&b vocals, and gradually lightens up as more of the beat comes in, eventually settling in to a comfortable groove. The track is available for free download through his soundcloud.

  • Tuesday Born – Singing In The Dark EP
    Tuesday Born - Singing In The Dark EP

    How appropriate to be writing about Tuesday Born on a Tuesday – cosmic. The UK-based producer is celebrating the recent release of his Singing In The Dark EP. The four tracks are dark and mysterious and serve as a reminder that winter isn’t that far behind us. Get ready to get lost in these hypnotic tracks for a while.

  • Retrospecticus: The Avalanches – Since I Left You
    Retrospecticus: The Avalanches - Since I Left You

    This post was originally published in 2011 on the now defunct Tsururadio. The Avalanches – Since I Left You Retrospecticus: a journey back into my musical history. I’ll be revisiting albums that opened up new genres for me as well as ones that changed the way I thought about music entirely. In a word: definitive. It is impossible to think about an album that has become so much a part [...]

  • Little Daylight – “Name in Lights”
    Little Daylight - "Name in Lights"

    Spring (and the cherry blossoms) has truly arrived here in DC, and it seems appropriate to celebrate the moment with some good clean pop. “Name in Lights” by NYC-based Little Daylight fits the bill perfectly. It’s delightfully light and infectious and makes me excited for the season. I was lucky enough to catch them at U Street Music Hall this past Thursday opening for Goldroom and they were just as [...]

  • SZA – “S”
    SZA - "S"

    We first fell in love with SZA back in October with the release of her See SZA Run EP with all of its hazy romanticism and blissed-out beats. She has a new release out today, an EP simply titled S. Her seductive vocals are back, layered over deeply hypnotic beats, and as undeniable as ever. If you’re in NYC this weekend, she’s got two back-to-back shows, opening for Chad Valley [...]

  • Squarepusher vs Ghostpoet – “Meltdown”
    Squarepusher vs Ghostpoet - "Meltdown"

    It’s been ages since we’ve heard anything new from Ghostpoet, but it seems fitting that he would make a return in 2013 as the number of impeccable electronic releases so far this year are astounding. “Meltdown” is off of his forthcoming sophomore album Some Say I So I Say Light and has received a gorgeous reworking from Squarepusher. The new version leaves more space for his vocals to breathe, and [...]

  • Wildarms – Clear Eyes Remixes
    Wildarms - Clear Eyes Remixes

    I spent a lazy Sunday swooning along to the air-brushed sounds of wunder-label Cascine‘s fantastic show on Newtown Radio, Pleasure Points, and was pleasantly reminded of an email about Wildarms sitting in my inbox. His Clear Eyes EP has been rounded out by a trio of stellar remixes from Doss, Blue Hawaii and Octo Octa. This dreamy bundle of tracks is all set to sweep you away to a land [...]

  • The Range – “PS 3″
    The Range - "PS 3"

    It’s been a minute since we’ve checked in with one of our favorite labels of the moment – Donky Pitch. We got a taste of their forthcoming release from The Range titled Seneca. The EP starts off with the immeditately electric “PS 3″ and takes a turn towards darker, deeper bass in the subsequent tracks. The track also sees a transformative remix from longtime-fave Obey City. The full EP is [...]

  • Active Child – “Evening Ceremony”
    Active Child - "Evening Ceremony"

    It’s no secret that I have a deep love for the consistently romantic Active Child, but I had no idea that we’d be graced with a new track from him so soon. “Evening Ceremony” is instantly recognizable, but more subdued and spooky than some of the tracks off of his recent full-length. Prepare to have your heart broken again and again with each subsequent listen, and join us in eagerly [...]
