Century Girl

Theophilus London x Devonte Hynes

06.04

Posted in Music

No way you can hate on this song. Theophilus London will drop a new album around June. Awaiting this obvious gem, he released a previously unreleased record which stems from the Lovers Holiday sessions back in 2010, produced by frequent collaborator Devonte Hynes.

Melancholy Hill

An acoustic session with Gorillaz

30.03

Posted in Music

A beautiful live recording of Gorillaz’ Melancholy Hill, as performed in the BBC Radio 1 Live Lounge.

“Up on melancholy hill, there’s a plastic tree. Are you here with me. Just looking out on the day of another dream” - Gorillaz (Melancholy Hill , 2010)
This is a special song. Dedicated to a little man I’m going to meet this Summer…

Fever

Extraordinary third album by 2562

29.03

Posted in Music

Dutch dubstep and techno producer 2562 is one of our current favorite producers. This guy has his own unique take on dubstep and broken techno. On his new album, he imposed a very specific limitation upon himself: every single sound would have to originate from a 70s or 80s disco record.

“From the smallest background shiver to the most obese sub bass, every single sound originates from a 70s or 80s disco record” (2562, 2011)

No additional synths, drum machines or other sample sources. The result is an instant classic. In a stream, after the obvious jump.

Loving You is Killing Me

More good things from Aloe Blacc

17.03

Posted in Music

We sure hope Aloe Blacc will make a video for every song off of Good Things, in our humble opinion one of the more slept on albums of last year. This video was directed by Ross Harris and features baby Boogaloo.

Men with Hats

Caffeine by Brandt Brauer Frick

07.03

Posted in Music

Really enjoyed this video titled Caffeine for German trio Brandt Brauer Frick. Fully animated, the video features art concept and illustrations from Danae Diaz and Benjamin Karre. Brandt Brauer Frick’s latest LP release You Make Me Real is very much recommended.

Gospel of Opal

FaltyDL's moody introduction

06.03

Posted in Music

Ben Soper directed this moody video video for the track Gospel of Opal, from FaltyDL‘s upcoming album You Stand Uncertain on Planet Mu. The record will be released March 28th. Can’t wait…

Out in the Streets

Africa HiTech's greatest track of 2011

03.03

Posted in Music

A couple of months ago, Mark from Rush Hour recommended a certain track by Africa HiTech, a new super group consisting of Mark Pritchard and Steve Spacek. They will release an amazing album titled 93 Million Miles part post/future dubstep (or whatever you’re calling it), part dancehall, part broken beat, part electro, part jazz in places, that’s a lot of parts but it’s all good. Check the track in a stream - it’s still very avant garde - after the jump. Also, check their latest mixtape; a Deviation session in a download.

Follow Me

Posted in Music

Follow Me is the new music video of Dutch electro artist Krause from her debut album No Guts, No Glory. This video has been shot almost entirely with 3D scanners.
