Newcomer Airhead is yet another one that we don’t know too much about. So far we’ve got this: he’s the man behind this gorgeous Shlohmo remix, he plays guitar for James Blake and he’s releasing an EP so lovely that it might just break your heart. His track “Lightmeters” closed the “IOTDXI” compilation from R&S that […]
Read moreWe’re running this recommendation on minimum information. What we do know is that Vlooper is a prolific underground Hip Hop producer and part of the Quebecois Alaclair Ensemble (pictured above). Alaclair consists of a number of producers, rappers, and activists all of which remain anonymous as far as we can tell. The only other member with a […]
Read moreTruth is, we probably should have been introducing you to Xosar a while ago. The mystery behind this emerging producer is, however, part of her charm. Breaking through in an industry that tends to focus so much on the visual when it ideally should be all about the aural can be difficult especially for a […]
Read moreOur latest installment in the Truancy Volume series comes from a promising newcomer hailing from Amsterdam who goes by the name of Individualism, real name Maarten Brijker. In 2010 he showcased his eclectic live performance complemented by a violinist among others and earned himself a national prize in the category of Dance at the unprecedented […]
Read moreIt’s rare for us to hear one track from an artist and immediately fall in love, but Adam Hodgins aka Iron Galaxy appears to be the exception. The track in question “Attention Seeker,” a melancholic and clearly machine driven house tune, made its way onto Soundcloud last weekend and may signal another bright light hailing […]
Read moreThe forthcoming album teaser track “Pushin’ Aside, Pushin’ Along” from New York natives First Serve (produced by De La Soul’s Plug 1 & Plug 2) is resplendent in staccato ivories, sumptuous bass hooks, spectacular vernacular and classic flow from back in the day. Those with your fingers on the pulse will recall the track featuring […]
Read moreFor their next EP, Dark Sky is set to return to Black Acre, the label that put out their debut “Something to Lose / Ghost Notes” in 2010. Following their most recent release, the “Radius” EP on Modeselektor’s 50Weapons, things took off and it was hard to hit a club without hearing the instaclassic “Neon” […]
Read moreI would really love a mini-Joe Goddard to keep in my pocket. I could take him out and wind him up, and he would make me personalized soulful house tracks. Wouldn’t that be grand? Like all the best genre-spanning electronic music, Goddard’s remix begins with a deceptively simple hook that has you reeled in before […]
Read moreDaniel Martin-McCormick of Mi Ami, Black Keys, and Sex Worker introduced us to Ital, an outlet for his more dancefloor orientated house music, last year. With the sonically diverse 12”s he released on 100% Silk behind him, he’s decided to break in 2012 with his debut album, Hive Mind, on Planet Mu. The album is […]
Read moreAnd now for something completely different – the new cut from Seun Kuti (son of Fela Kuti and therefore heir to the afrobeat throne), as remixed by the formidably excellent Spoek Mathambo. Mathambo, if you’re a little late on this, is a South African DJ and producer, and a boundary pusher par excellence. Ever heard any […]
Read moreOur fortieth installment into our Truancy Volume series comes from a long time friendship of two guys from Bristol making giant leaps forward with their new production alias Behling & Simpson. Having released tunes together since 2004 under various guises and stacked up more than a hundred releases between them on an array of labels […]
Read moreToday we woke up and convinced ourselves that it’d be just like any other day, but then we had to face the truth. How can you really escape Valentine’s Day? Luckily for us we found a sweet gift in our mailbox, a Valentine’s mix dropped off by a secret admirer/friend of Truants to share with […]
