Sailor and I – Tough Love
-
May 22nd, 2012
>by B. Darko No Comments
Yesterday I was listening to the newest Noir Recommends and his 120 min set opened with “Tough Love (Aril Brikha remix)” by Sailor and I. Immediately I was enthralled with the track. The vocals resonate with a sweet sorrow, and both the Aril Brikha remix and the original track are excellent. The duo hails from Sweden and are set to release their EP in the upcoming months. I’m looking forward [...]

Substitute Teachers: XVI Records
-
May 22nd, 2012
Rising London label XVI Records has contributed to the latest edition of our Substitute Teachers series, and I asked Josh Byrne – the label’s head – a few questions after listening to their mix. The impetus behind XVI is to find and release material by some of the UK’s most forward-thinking artists. What forward-thinking artists have influenced you all in the first place? We love so many different types of [...]
Letherette – “Maybe”
-
May 21st, 2012
Youtube has become a haven for Letherette beats that will probably never see the light of day, and this unofficial video for “Maybe” by Synesthesiæ Films (who are also responsible for Solar Bears‘ “Forest of Fountains”) uses footage from Japansese cult classic Cruel Story of Youth to take it somewhere else. You should revisit their most recent mix for Ninja Tune if you’d like to hear what they’ve been up.

Airliner

May 21st, 2012
I was real surprised to find out that Airliner was another pseudonym for Com Truise, whose None LP focuses more on lush funk samples, downtempo hip hop beats, and crushing, high-end synth melodies that evoke the earlier works of Lone, Boards of Canada, and Stephen Farris. Grab the LP on his bandcamp and it will be well worth your dollars.

Lapalux reworks Slugabed‘s “Mountains Come Out Of The Sky” with his usual gutter glitter, ensuring no part of the original is discernible with loads of saturated reverb, time-streched vocal samples and wicked, off kilter beats. The remix is available for free now, and will be released alongside remixes from Kutmah, Arp101 in the not-too-distant future.
