The Yearn - Pále

18 year old Manchester UK bass producer Pále, released The Yearn EP on January 30th with a lot less fanfare than I would expect given how current and beautifully bass heavy. A musician since grade school, Leo Marcus, states in an interview with Transparent Cities that "composition is important to me" and cites his biggest influences at the moment as being: M83 James Blake, Mount Kimbie, Burial and Ghostpoet.

Tremors - Alpines + Dark Sky

Tremors, the second collaboration that Alpines has done with Dark Sky was released via their blog this a.m. Though the original was recorded over a year ago the rework and accompanying video is new today. The video was filmed on a drive back from the mountains and was thought that the landscape and colouring was perfectly fitted to the minimal yet epic soundscape in the track. Agreed.

10th Anniversary Laptop Battle - Seattle, WA @Lofi

On Saturday January 28th at LoFi Performance Gallery I attended the 10th Anniversary Laptop Battle and took a shit load of recordings and video to document the experience. There was a lot of talent in that room and I was just glad to be witness to all the exceptional beat making up close and personal. Nice work boys!

For a detailed list of the event and participants, go here. I've also posted the same details in the description of the Soundcloud set below.












Please contact me via Facebook, Twitter, or Soundcloud if for some reason I've mislabeled you or you would like the video or recording taken down. Or better yet, follow me if you dig what I'm posting.

Destiny feat. Pional - John Talabot

Much ado over Spanish producer John Talabot's upcoming debut full length release "ƒIN" today after Pitchfork's vote for Best New Track. "Destiny" is the second single to be released in anticipation of the Feb 6th album drop after last months "So Will be Now" also featuring the vocals of Pional. Both tracks have the dark slow build that will surely have fans of Nicolas Jaar and Zomby satisfied.
