Fresh from the Mount Kimbie remixes, this one featuring on part 1, comes ‘At Least’ remixed by Instra:Mental.
Note: Mount Kimbie will play live in Brussels on the Recyclart Summer Festival! RSVP now on Facebook.
An incredible track by London’s Floating Points dating back a year or so. It’s not fresh of the presses, but it sure as hell sounds fresh as ever. Originally released with a male vocal, this extended dub version just sounds so much better without the vocal. It’s rich and colourful housy melody just gives you that instant feel-good. I just can’t help but smile when I hear this.
Tokimonsta gives us a preview of what to expect from her upcoming EP with a short mix of a couple of clips. The EP is out April 29th on Ramp Recordings. I’m really digging the first track in the mix.
This rolling bassdriven track featured on Fabric’s first Elevator Music compilation earlier this year. Whilst the compilation is full of goodies, this one is definately a favorite. It reminds of some early 90s techno, playing in a warehouse. It’s got that resonating echo that seems to bounce of the walls, filling the room with a warm sound you just can’t sit still on. And it just keeps on building up, never slowing down for a drop, never releasing it’s grip, only to come up with a melody somewhere 3 minutes into the track, taking you even further into this trip. I could lose myself completely to this one on a night out. Play it loud.
Nice pick, and great writeup too. It really sounds exactly as it reads, reads exactly as it sounds.
Released on Sandwell District, praised by Resident Advisor as the best techno label in the world, this Silent Servant track from 2008 really hits home. Kalon, a UK techno outfit, stepped away from the moody original and produced a driving techno track with a definite club vibe to it.
You can find the original over on our Facebook page!
I am completely addicted to Silent Servant!!!
Klinkt lekker. Ga me daar es wat in verdiepen.
Well, here’s a band I didn’t think we’d be covering, but that wasn’t taking Thom Yorke into account. Yorke‘s been working with a lot of electronica lately and this track is laden with influences. It’s hard to pinpoint a style here, but it’s glitchy, off beat and nerveous, the whole being supported by an almost inaudible bassline. One thing is certain though, Yorke‘s continuing to prove how unique his creations can be, and yet so appealing.
Liars will be playing in Brussels’ Botanique on Wednesday the 26th of May.
You can catch the original track by Liars on our Facebook page.
Woooaaa thanks a lot for sharing this. Big Thom Yorke fan, especially his solo works.
Wicked remix, very special hypnotizing vibe!
Copenhagen’s Mikkel Meldgaard started off his musical journey as a guitar player in various bands. By the mid-ninetees, he got into electronic music and started experimenting with beats and samplers. Towards the end of the century he found his sound in techno, heavily laden with dub influences. Nowadays we find him on Berlin’s Kompakt label where he continues his slow and driving 4/4 dubtechno sound.
Kenton EP was released in July 2009 on Echocord Colour and features a remix by Marcel Detterman on the flipside, which featured in Modeselektor’s Resident Advisor mix last September. (I prefer the original though. I just love the driving sound. It seems like this track never ends).

Heerlijk!
Dark and moody, atmospheric, haunting,… the adjectives just stack up for this one by Warp’s most recent addition. The slow, deep groove takes you on a cinematic trip down a dark passage. Vancouver’s Cameron Reed’s first EP, “Shaved”, dropped earlier this month. Below you’ll find the title track, my favorite from the EP.
The video really captures the eery and dramatic feel of the music, adding another layer to the impact it has. It was produced by a motion picture collective named SALAZAR, also based in Vancouver. Their focus has been on music videoclips and other narrative work, and they’ve recently expanded their territory into advertising. Be sure to check the rest of their work, it’s equally awesome.

interesting to find out about SALAZAR as well, I realised I’ve been loving their videos for a while!!
London based Geeneus’ track Ultrafunkula, featured on Warp Record’s compilation of bass music: North/South/East/West, alongside Falty DL, Headhunter, Mike Slott and Warp’s own Hudson Mohawke and Rustie.
Geeneus is the founder of Rinse.fm and probably best known as one of the producers of the Pay As You Go garage/grime crew. He was one of the early adopters of the UK Funky sound, and has been pushing the sound since.
I like!
Recently featured on Fabric’s Elevator Music volume 1 with the bass-heavy tune “If that’s how I feel”, Hot City‘s pushing out some nice bass-driven housy tracks. This one, Hot City Bass, was released last year on Ramp recordings, but it still sounds killer to me.
On a side note, I just found out I missed Hot City passing through Antwerp this weekend alongside Drop The Lime, anyone catch it?
