Download: Brainfeeder Sampler (feat. Martyn, Lapalux and other)

The LA based label Brainfeeder headed by Flying Lotus has proven to be a force to be reckoned with in the field of beat-centered electronic music.  With a roster featuring the likes of Martyn, Lorn, Gaslamp Killer, Thundercat and Lapalux the imprint has remained on the cutting edge of the scene delivering fresh and new ideas on every release.  Having just received the label-of-the-year award through Gilles Peterson's show, Brainfeeder released a compilation available for free download here (in exchange for your e-mail address) with songs from the label's roster for your listening pleasure.  The comp also features a previously unreleased Lapalux track from his upcoming album.
