Foals – Spanish Sahara (Deadboy Remix)
Deadboy keeps on delivering. This time with an exquisite remix for one of the few indie-bands that I like: Foals. Melancholic yet funky. Free mp3 through XLR8R here.

Claude Von Stroke – Vocal Chords
Perfect blend of emotions in this track. Playtime: in the morning after a long long night.

Clubroot – Cherubs Cry
Clubroot has often been hailed as ‘the new Burial’, but hasn’t really caused a stir in the dubstep community. I’m not sure his new album is gonna change much to that position, but personally I’m just glad this 25-year old kid issued a new album (II- MMX) filled with “dreamy bass heavy space music around the 140 [bpm] mark”, as he describes it himself. The title of this track (‘Cherubs cry’) says a lot about the atmosphere in this track.

Crystal Castles – Empathy
The new Crystal Castles album is awesome. This unofficial video for melancholic melodic electro monster ‘Empathy’ is even totally awesome. You can see dancers doing some proto-breakdance moves called ‘Voguing” in the 70s or 80s. Madonna popularized it and brought it to the mainstream world with her hit song “Vogue”.

Box Mouse – 5:37 Outside The Station
We’re all fans of Echodub here at the Worlds Below 100hz (see previous posts here and here). The collective has now released the second installment of their “Echodub loves” compilation; you can download it for free here. As usual the compilation is a showcase of “some of the most beautiful music coming from the deeper end of the dubstep, electronic and IDM genres”. This is the second track from the compilation, check it if you’re into melancholic Burial-style dubstep:

Carsten Jost – Days gone by
Dial Records from Hamburg releases a new compilation filled with techno-at-ease, emotional minimal and roadtrip-by-night electronica. This reminds me of Superpitcher‘s excellent mix album ‘Today’. This compil is in the same league, and I love every second of it. Essential!
Boomkat has the full album as download. Go and buy it if you like this.

Scuba – Glance
Every now and then, an album is released which is perfectly suited to listen to in an airplane. The sounds and mood accompany your view on the slightly rounded horizon marking off a pure purple sky. ‘Triangulation’ by Scuba is such an album. It has been on non-stop this week on my i-Pod, and ‘Glance’ is my favourite track. The melody in the end oozes an airy melancholical atmosphere, perfect for seeing the sunset at 33.000 feet. When do I catch my plane?
‘Latch’ is another favourite track, hear it on our Facebook fanpage. Don’t forget to make yourself a fan for more interaction!

T.Power vs. MK-Ultra – Mutant Jazz
No introduction needed for drum’n'bass classic ‘Mutant Jazz’. Sax, panflutes, pads and snare-melodies are the perfect setting for late summer evenings.
And yes, this featured as well on the brilliant compilation Freezone 2 by DJ Morpheus from Brussels (check his bio, Morpheus has a serious musical history!).

Fuck Pony – Let the Love Flow (new album)
Fuck Pony is a duo project led by Jay Haze. This man is really hard to label as he produces almost every range of electronic music. Fuck Pony said to be his more housy side. The duo released a bunch of records on Get Physical but now Fuck Pony turn to B Pitch Control, home of Modeselektor, Apparat and Ellen Allien. Not so surprising as the album breathes the Berlin sound of the label.
The new album is now avalaible for stream on Luisterpaal.
