This has been a good year for Dipped in Dollars. From getting a mention in the Guardian, previewing Jai Paul‘s album in XL’s New York office, interviewing artists like Gilles Peterson, Jensen Sportag and Onra to premiering exclusive mixes by Solar Bears, Teams, and Streets Of Beige, our second year has been filled with lots of fun. Hopefully we’ve been able to influence a few record purchases as well. There already are some big things in store for our third year, and Crimson and I have also made mixes to thank you all for the good times.

The man behind one of my all time favorite albums released another LP through Ninja Tune yesterday, and Sew, Darn, Mend is one of my favorite cuts from the record. The track euphorically unfolds around a single melody, showcasing Daedelus‘ ability to create exceptional music. Purchase a copy for yourself and check it out.

Daedelus is going to be hitting the road for a third Magical Properties tour with support from fellow LA beatmakers Tokimonsta and Sholohmo. Both Daedelus and Sholohmo will also be releasing albums on dates throughout the tour, so I’m sure there will be special nights surrounding each release. You can check the full list of dates here.

Daedelus – Stampede Me (feat. Amir Yaghmai)

Tokimonsta – Aching Nodes

Shlohmo – Places
