Mr. Oizo

The first taste of his new record is a gem of dark-tech-acid-house mayhem. Album drops 11/18.

"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. 

Ryat

I stumbled across Ryat a year or two ago via a free EP. She/They - it was a duo originally, but I now I only see her - joined the ranks of the Brainfeeder crew for the new record, which was out last week. Here's a tune from it. 

Flying Lotus' "Lovers Melt 2"

Been hearing a lot of stuff coming from Flying Lotus the last few months, and I'm not complaining. The batch of previously unreleased stuff he put up on Soundcloud had some real gems, then there was a nice mix for/of Thundercat, and now this, the follow-up to Lovers Melt 1. Enjoy the waning days of summer. Check it out via BrainFeeder.

Tayler McFerrin "A Place in my Heart"

Taylor McFerrin is a new addition to FlyLo's Brainfeeder imprint. Here's a collab with vocalist Ryat that is pretty intense. Any relation to Bobby? [silence] Bet he never hears that. If you yearn for a brighter but equally emotive Portishead, or can interpolate the existence of a song made by Bjork and Lovage-era Dan the Automator - this might be for you...

New Gaslamp Killer EP out August 4th

Get your freaky electronic celebration on because Gaslamp Killer is dropping an EP on Flying Lotus's imprint Brainfeeder. I've got to say that I've never been so excited for an album from an artist I actually knew less about musically. He dropped one amazing track on the Art Don't Sleep compilation a few years back - a downtempo gypsy trip beat - and ever since then I've just been waiting to find more. Then he dropped a sweet mix for the Stones Throw podcast a year or two ago when the Heliocentrics' debut dropped, which was also excellent.

I've only heard this one song off the new album, but it is reminiscent of the Heliocentrics in so far as it is a sparse, spaced-out, drum-heavy groove that might make stoned tweens lose their minds. By the time the cymbals drop on the latter half of the song the overall effect is vaguely reminscent of classic Venetian Snares jungle played at 3/4 speed. Ridiculous.

Welcome your ears to the digital land of post-apocalyptic milk and honey.

Here's the leaked track: "Anything Goes"



Buy it when it drops on the 4th of August.
