Can't You Just // Bwana

Free download from 21 year old Canadian, Bwana, today on Diplo's Mad Decent label. Definitely loving seeing the future bass "genre" just going in all sorts of directions.

Dutty Artz NEW YORK TROPICAL Compilation

The club night 'Dutty Artz NEW YORK TROPICAL' was formulated in NYC in 2008 by DJ Rupture, Matt Shadetek, & Geko Jones to fight the cold and with their Hispanic and Caribbean inspired electronic party jams. The Brooklyn party series lasted through the summer of 2009 and in 2010 this compilation was put out to share the vibe of those parties. It's still very cold in Seattle and it's almost April, so this is hitting the spot right about now.

Other random track I found from the same label.

Night Trains // Habstrakt

Far Red // Gacha

Rainbow Skies // Crossbeat

Check out the free download below from Belgium IDM producer, Crossbeat. Rainbow Skies is a bit more of a pop tune with vocals tending to remind me of a Gorillaz vibe, while other tracks/mixes on his Soundcloud lean more in the 2-step, DnB realm.

Airic // membrain

In case you missed the flurry of tweets this am from indie electronic Canadian darling, Grimes. And if you haven't dug in the depths of Pitchfork's new tracks today (because it's apparently not front page news??) check out the new side project from Claire Boucher and Tim Lafontaine aka Cop Car Bonafide . A lot more on the experimental side, but still featuring her trademark vocals which, for me, is an excellent combination. The EP, Rewind, is due to drop later this year.

XXYYXX (feat. Steffaloo) // Love Isn't Made

16 year old Orlando beat maker, xxyyxx's second full length album drops tomorrow via Relief in Abstract records. Yeah, I said second release. Check out this video for "Love Isn't Made" featuring the ethereal vocals of Steffaloo.

Loner (Leaks Music Remix) - Burial

18 year old producer from down under takes a Burial track and makes it even prettier? Yeah, I didn't think it was possible either. Check out his bandcamp for more.

"Cocoon" (Nocturnal Sunshine Remix) - Alpines

With only a handful of singles out Alpines has grabbed the attention of bloggers everywhere with their excellent taste in artists to collaborate with on remixes. Nocturnal Sunshine, also know as Maya Jay Coles got her hands on "Cocoon" last summer and transformed this epic pop tune into something a little deeper.

Throwing Snow// IA // MIX 55

Inverted Audio is a London based online magazine focused on electronic music and visual art. Check out today's newest mix from UK downtempo bass producer, Throwing Snow. With other mixes posted from the likes of Raffertie, Solar Bears, & Seekae you can assume that I'll be holled up in my apartment for the next week geeking out on this blog.

"Emitting" - IG88

Check a new track from local, Branden Clark, more widely known as IG88. In true form to his style, it's as sleepy and dreamworthy in it's ambiance, as it is complex and thought provoking in the glitch laden bass lines. Definitively also check out his most recent album drop, A Loom & Not Me, on Portland's label Nueva Forma below streaming in its entirety, as well as several "name your own price" digital albums previously self released on his bandcamp.

Labyrinth Ear - Apparitions EP

Download this new EP from UK electronic duo, Labyrinth Ear below.




And a video for my fav track off this EP:

"The Space Between Us" Mix - Madeaux

I can't quite recall how I came across Madeaux now, as I've been listening to this mix on repeat for the last 3 days and am in a bit of a daze from it. According to his (her?) tumblr this is the first mix ever put out (slow clap). Chalk full of chopped and screwed remixes of some of my most favorite tracks of the last year, I downloaded every single thing off this soundcloud page. I suggest you do the same.



"Gutter Glitter" - Lapalux 
"The Space Between Us" - Madeaux 
"I Remember" - Madeaux 
"If I Had a Heart (Madeaux Remix)" - Fever Ray 
"Karma in Reverse" - Madeaux 
"High Priestess (Madeaux Remix)" - Active Child 
"Eski Love (Madeaux Reconstruction)" - Timbah 
"Crew Love (Shlohmo Remix)" - Drake feat. The Weeknd 
"Glory Box (Shapes of Light Edit)" - Portishead

West in Dust 2012 Compilation

News of newly formed electronic label out of Oakland, West in Dust, was all a buzz on twitter yesterday.

As reported this morning on alt sounds " The West in Dust label is a collaborative endeavor between two genuine electronic music devotees—Dave Reep (a man responsible for multiple production outfits including Elephant & Castle) and music writer/producer Glenn Jackson (James & Evander). Deeply rooted in Oakland, California’s burgeoning beatmaker scene, West In Dust is the pair’s humble attempt to further champion quality electronic sounds, focused on artists that are inventive and forward-thinking while not losing touch with what makes music enjoyable."

Stream the forthcoming compilation below and stop back by their soundcloud for the download link on March 27th.

"No One" - Bassmynt

Another free jam to download from Bassmynt.

Outside (Cralias Remix) - The Weeknd

Cralias released a sprinkling of remixes on his soundcloud and YouTube pages back in December. Download the 9 track EP here . FYI - that Joy Orbison track is everything you wanted and more.

"Slow Stars" - Jacob Rohde

21 year old Aussie producer, Jacob Rohde, released a free EP along with many other previously recorded tracks via his soundcloud yesterday. Leaning toward an ambient/trip hop feel at times, the vocals on "Be Patient" were a pleasant surprise. Much like most electronic music produced these days it's tough to put a label on his sound especially after finding the below track on YouTube.


(via East to West)

"Nova" - Burial + Four Tet

Dr. Dre - Still D.R.E (Shatterhors Sitdown Refix)

With the number of refixes, remixes, and covers coming out using 90's samples you'd think this would start to get old. Well, maybe if you weren't a teenager in the 90's because I for one, can't wait for more of these to keep coming out. Download this track for free from Danish producer, Shatter Hands soundcloud page and thank me later.



If you're into electronic based hip hop beats be sure to head over to his Bandcamp for many more free tracks.

"Think/Feel" (feat Chelsey Sceffe) - Beat Connection

Hometown heros, Beat Connection, dropped a much anticipated new single as a Fader exclusive this am. After their 2010 EP "Surf Noir" the news today of plans to release a new album this summer is something I personally can't wait for.
