Natasha Kmeto

Deep bass and spacey vocal interjections executed superbly.

Phaseone

Good space bass. Phaseone is about to drop on album on Williams Street Records [Adult Swim], who also put out Killer Mike's R.A.P. Music. Good work guys. 

LE1F

Futuristic club hop. Don't miss "Tha Whip" ft. Haleek Maul for one of the hottest riding smooth joints I've heard lately.

"Tell Her"

Fred Williams kills it on some goosebump-inducing soul wailing. 

Bonobo

Bonobo's back with his first new album in 3 years. The sound fits his paradigm (laidback, intelligent), but the aesthetic has gotten a definite update. Much less jazz-heavy trip hop and much more of an IDM vibe.

The Tower

Skyrider wrapped up this instrumental mixtape a few months ago but has sat on it until now. I saw him perform some of this live last weekend at Unit E for Man Mantis' Audiodrome monthly, and it was off the chain. 

More Mogya

Some raw and rugged beats straight out the Motherland. 

Def Dee & Zar

Sounding like a skinny Lord Finesse. New Mello Music. 

"Can't You See"

Red Bull sponsored this A.Dd+ track produced by NickNack. Super smooth.

Rarities

Four Tet dusts off some material from '97-'01... those were the days...

Preemo x Bada$$

What's really real though

Flume's Fader Mix

I'm really digging Flume's whole vibe. Young Aussie making some seriously dope beats. Here's his Fader Mix.

"Give a Eff"

Chi producer/MC connected to Stones Throw in 2013. Kicking it on that surrrious neo-90s stee that's all the rage with a bunch of super-dope up'n'comers (see Joey Bada$$, Underachievers, et al.)

Check out a mixtape of his via Stones Throw.

"An Overture Might..."

Hittin'

Check out this label comp EP from Friends of Friends.

"Guilford Ave Bridge"

Dan Deacon is doing a North American tour with Animal Collective this spring. It's going to be a truly mind blowing experience. I've already got tickets to see them at the Ogden. Psyched. 

"On Yr Side"

Speaking of Slow Magic, this tune is pretty incredible. Some of that deconstructionist Post-R&B-step. 

"Sorry Safari" Giraffage Remix

Giraffage has some stuff in the works with Alpha Pup. They blasted another tune of his earlier today. Here's a pleasant, floaty-piano remix he did of a Slow Magic tune. 

Visions

Compilation EP from Denver-based electronic collective Dirty//Clean contains some real gems, like this Amor, Est. joint that sounds like a lost bonus track from FlyLo's Until the Quiet Comes. Plenty of interesting bass sounds from the whole crew. Check out the whole EP. 

"Guuurl"

New Lapalux is suh-weeet. New album on Brainfeeder coming soon. No one will make tracks at less than 100 bpm by the end of 2013. 

Pillowfight

Another taste of the upcoming project from Dan the Automator and vocalist Emily Wells. 

"Crush"

Rush Midnight, produced by Twin Shadow. Some deft electro-pop-disco-fonk.

"Faces on the Dollar"

Stone cold ish from Gensu Dean and Planet Asia. 

King FOE x QKnox

I missed this collabo when it came out, but I wish I hadn't. Fortunately, stumbled across it the other day. because it's dope. 

"Uptown Boog'z"

Oh, you need some mellow wavy action for your Sunday morning coffee... here you go:

Dr. Quandary

Speaking of World Around, Quandary's new album will get you all dusty and leave you bobbing. 

World Around comp

World Around Records celebrates averting the apocalypse with this comp released on New Year's Eve. Plenty of gems to be mined in outer space. 

Real Cosby

A super clean EP. If you've been jamming that Daphni record, you'll dig this. He'll be doing a set at the Meadowlark 01-12-13 for DJ Babyshoe's night called Fresh Produce.

Bro Safari & UFO! are turnt up
