Video: José Padilla & Kirsty Keatch - "Helios" (Balam Acab Remix)

Apparently Balam Acab made this remix of "Helios" over a year ago for José Padilla & Kirsty Keatch but it only just came out today via a video. The sound of this one is liquid, you’ll see what I mean once you press play. On a side note apparently combining these three artists essentially equals what I hear as Purity Ring!

Download/Listen: Lindstrøm – “Rà-àkõ-st”

Lindstrøm comes in hard with his latest single "Rà-àkõ-st." The quality tune is the first single from the Norwegian producer’s, as of yet untitled, forthcoming LP.

Onomatopoeia and Red Cup present, Perestroika - The Very Very Dangerous EP.  Chambaland and I like to switch it up and give ourselves a little challenge now and again so for our latest batch of Mashup’s we had a strict recipe to follow. Our ingredients? One shared acapella for two different instrumentals, all mixed together for two unique dishes. Check out “Danger City” below and then head over to our friends at Onomatopoeia to hear the exclusive flipside, “Danger Phone!”

Listen: Actress - "Shock Therapy 101"

Actress dropped a new tune via his twitter account. The track entitled “Shock Therapy 101″ has a more upbeat vibe to it than anything we heard on his 2012 LP R.I.P.  The beat driven track slowly and minimally builds up until the snyths hit and lead us out with the precision timing that the producer has become known for.  

Video: Jacques Greene – “Ready”

Producer JacquesGreene's drops the video for "Ready" the title track from his new EP on Martyn's 3024 label. From early releases with LuckyMe and Night Slugs via high profile remixes and on to the recent formation of his own Vase imprint the Montreal native has been at the front of his home town's rapidly snowballing acclaim as a creative incubator of unusual quality, fusing R&B's raw emoting to House and Techno's sleek propulsion. The Ready EP is a further refinement of the sound he's made his own, taking it further than ever before but always balancing aerodynamic efficiency with the unusually organic emotion. The video its self seems to be a world of miniatures although this could just be trick camera work, whatever the case both the tune and visuals are top notch.

Listen: Rustie – “After Light” Remix (Feat. AlunaGeorge)

Rustie saw his Glass Swords standout “After Light” reach new levels of popularity when sporting company Adidas used it in a commercial for the London Olympics and today its star grows even more courtesy of London pop duo AlunaGeorge. Singer Aluna Francis, provides some vocals and turns “After Light” into a sing-along jam for the remaining summer months. 

Listen: SBTRKT – “Gloss”

Back in May we shared something new from UK dub artist SBTRKT, the tune was reported to be part of a forthcoming ep and today we have yet another new tune in the form of “Gloss.” I can’t say with certainty that this tune will be official released as part of the ep but it doesn’t really matter, what does is we got new music from the man and you can hear it now below….

Listen: Prefuse 73 – “Aninha”

Piano Overlord, aka Prefuse 73,  dropped a tune by the name of  "Aninha" recently. The single officially appears on Aninha Mission, a collection of tracks recorded back in 2004 that never saw the light of day, that is now available via Chocolate Industries. They say good things come with age, what do you think?

Listen: Four Tet - "128 Harps"

Last month Four Tet shared “Jupiters” with us and now he is back with another new slice of goodness in the form of “128 Harps”. This one samples, you guessed it, harps.  The looping strings leave you with a fairy tale like vibe in the best way possible, enjoy below…

Video: Shlohmo – “The Way U Do”

Shlohmo teamed up with director Andrey Nikolaev for the visuals on “The Way U Do”. The tune has a sinister appeal with its eerie vocal samples and creeping beat. The video fits perfectly with the song showcasing some very “fashiony” shots of dancers in freakish costumes, enjoy below…

Listen: SBTRKT – “Gamelena”

SBTRKT is back with his first completely new material since last year’s breakout LP. The producer is said to be in the studio working on a new ep and has offered “Gamelena” as a taste of what we might expect to hear in the future.

Listen: Gold Panda - "4"

UK producer Gold Panda has let loose another random instrumental titled "4." Give it a listen below, and here's his explanation of how the track came to be...

"A track I made on a korg es-1 in about 10mins and jammed out for my mate called “Infinite Livez” to freestyle on at a last minute gig/dj set thing in Berlin a while back and I hadn’t eaten much and also had to dj and I’m a shit dj but I just played a bunch of records anyway and Inf’ helped me out by freestyling for me. He’s a nice bloke and a great artist. I just made a cup of tea. Maybe I’ll invite him over."

Video: Slow Magic - "Youths"

Slow Magic dropped a video for “Youths” this morning. You’ve might already have heard some hype around his upcoming 8-track album, “▲” acting as a  follow up to the free mini EP that was dropped on bandcamp all the way back in August of last year. “▲” is out on April 30th via LebensStrasse Records. Watch the video directed by Brendan Canty and Conal Thomson below.

Video: Squarepusher: "Dark Steering"

Looking like some alternate version of Daft Punk or the video game Dead Space, the new visual for Squarepusher's "Dark Steering" from his forthcoming Warp release Ufabulum, out May 15 in the U.S. and May 14 in Europe have arrived. Created by Jenkinson himself, the robotic LED visuals act as a teaser of what we'll see on his upcoming tour.

Squarepusher on Dark Steering:
"For a while I had apocalyptic nightmares about trails of nuclear missiles in the night sky. So I aimed to recreate that strange combination of exhilaration, terror and sadness both visually and emotionally through this piece. It lead to the idea of a spacecraft leaving earth at vast speed to escape, but oddly the music also made me think of it flying through a library. So I generated the visual aspect such that, as the piece progresses, it seems as if the viewer is ever accelerating through massive corridors of books." 

Listen: K.P. & Envyi – Shorty Swing My Way (BALAM ACAB Remix)

Balam Acab tweeted a mysterious mediafire link last night which led fans to this….  K.P. & Envyi’s “Shorty Swing My Way” was a big R&B jam for the ladies back in 98.  Balam Acab put his twist on things by slowing down the vocals and beat giving the tune a drugged out vibe.

Warp Records Triple Post - New music from Squarepusher and Clark and the Battles Remixes

On today's triplet of new goodies from the classic electronic music label we will not be discussing the rumors regarding a new Boards of Canada double album.  Instead we will talk about Squarepusher's upcoming album details and live show, Clark's latest tune off his upcoming LP and the Battles' remix album.

Squarepusher has disappeared for while (no shocker there) since his latest project with Shoebaleader One.  We're extremely excited to hear that he's back with a new album entitled "Ufabulum" releasing in mid-May, which according the the man himself will be pure electronic (no bass guitar? doubt it), melodic and aggressive. We're also glad that the Daft Punkesque mask he dawned on his previous collaborative project is still around.  Listen to a tiny snippet of what's to come below.  For more details on live performances revolving around the new album go here.

Up next is the latest track to appear from Clark's upcoming LP "Iradelphic".  We've already posted another album track "Com Touch", and now you can listen "The Pining Pt 2" below as well.  This track is still heavy in the beat section, yet the song is even more melodic with vocal elements that are introduced in this way for the first time on a Clark track:

¨

Our last bit of new is the exciting announcement with regard to a remix album of Battles' Dross Glop LP based on the relevant 12" releases.  Contributors include Hyperdub labelhead Kode 9, Shabazz Palaces, Silent Servant, Hudson Mohawke and more.  The album will be releasing in mid April.  Our favorite of the few that have seen the light of day so far is the remix of "Sweetie & Shag" by The Field.  Listen to it below:

Listen: Madeaux - “Karma In Reverse”

We may not know much about Madeaux, as  he, she, or they have decided to keep their identity a secret for the time being letting the track “Karma In Reverse” be the talking point. The playful tune has a similar vibe to AraabMuzik in its beats but with a little more whimsy coming in and out of it making for a unique work.   

Listen: SBTRKT – Hold On (SISI BAKBAK RMX) AKA Thom Yorke

Radiohead's Thom Yorke has remixed SBTRKT’s “Hold On” under the mysterious moniker Sisi Bakbak. The Sisi BakBak remix comes as a B-side on the single version of SBTRKT's original "Hold On", available digitally on February 21 and on May 8 as a limited-edition 12" through XL. Enjoy the tune and accompanying visuals below…
