Washed Out - "Amor Fati" (Clams Casino Remix)

Clams Casino on his iPad - notice something on the right there? ;)

Big year for Tri Angle signee and Red Cup favorite Clams Casino whose work thus far has kept our interest with each and every release. While we've been fixated with his imperfect yet flawless sound, our friends over at our Onomatopoeia have long been expressing their support for chillwave darling Washed Out.  The two come together on this mostly beatless and extremely atmospheric remix of Washed Out's "Amor Fati" by Clams Casino.  Is it just us but does the lead synth sound an awful lot like an old school μ-ziq sound? That's got to be a good thing. Listen to or download below:

Guy Andrews - "Shades/Textures" EP

Brighton based Guy Andrews will be releasing his "Shades/Textures" EP on Hemlock on November 21st.  The EP is another example of the exciting melting pot that is electronic music these days.  With shades of techno, bass, dubstep and some old school drum & bass atmospherics Guy Andrews' sound further contributes to the crumbling of strict scene boundaries and exists in a multiple-influence grey zone area (more so than obvious dual sounds such as the techno meets dubstep of Martyn). We're particularly intrigued by "Textures" on which Andrews plays with a very characteristic Berlin techno stab intertwined with percussive elements which are tonally related to the bass/post-dubstep world but are imported into a 4/4 context:

Watch: High Places - "Sonora" Music Video

Another day another High Places music video.  After "Sophia" the LA based duo is back with an equally awesome yet gruesome music video for "Sonora", a track from their "Original Colors" LP on Thrill Jockey.  The track is along the same vein of lazy/hazy electronic music fueled by a characteristic flanger/phaser on the percussion and accompanied by the ethereal and slightly detuned vocals.  The video takes places in a universe where spinach has the same effects as it does in the Popeye cartoon (only in the real world spinach infused muscles don't look so good). Watch the video below:

Watch: Gold Panda - "Marriage" Live

We are renound Gold Panda fans here at Red Cup and have been so since his very first releases.  On the latest issue (3-11) of the excellent Slices Magazine we caught a brief glimpse into the mindset of the British artist, known for his modesty and for being soft-spoken, in which he states that performing live was never part of the plan but developed out of necessity.  We're perplexed by this because Gold Panda's live performances number among the most intriguing one-man electronic music sets with many elements reconstructed and well-adapted for the live environment.  Watch him perform "Marriage" live in London this past October below and you'll see what we mean.  Don't forget to check out his DJ-Kicks mix as well, which also demostrates his unique DJing skills as well:

Twin Sister - Kimmi in a Rice Field (Balam Acab remix)

Dasha Rush - "Relativismi" EP

Dasha Rush's "Relativismi" EP is coming out right around the holidays on Sonic Groove Records. Her inspiring signature take on techno never ceased to impress us here at Red Cup on almost every release thus far. B-side "Relative Perspective" is particularly interesting with a  wave of deep beats and evident experimental electronic influences . Listen below:
