Karl Off
Belgian composer Olivier Désir (aka Karl OFF) is a member of the Radio OFF musical collective, he produces wonderfully intelligent tracks such as this & his EP Horses, Guns & Chipsets is out on Bandcamp tomorrow (15/03).
DrumTalk
Huntleys + Palmers (Sophie, Auntie Flo) first release of 2014 comes from anonymous producer DrumTalk - a hugely listenable tussle between exuberance & melancholy. Take a listen ^.
Peekaboo
Italian producer Lorenzo Badioli used to go by the moniker Diadainconsupertrafra - obviously this was far too difficult to pronounce or think about, so he's come up with the much shorter alternative Peekaboo. I was going to choose just one of the 3 tracks below to stream but it was genuinely too difficult, each track is characterised by that same wonderful atmosphere whilst throwing a unique range of subtly complex beats & loops into the mix. Take a listen below:
Quiet Sun
UK producer and construer of ambience Quiet Sun released a new album last week. All in all it's a very pretty album, featuring a lot of delicious sounds which loop, swirl and embed themselves into the happiest and calmest corners of your mind. Sitting somewhere between Evenings and one of the more ambient faces of Four Tet, I'd definitely recommend you give The Fields of Sleep a listen. You can hear & purchase the full thing via Bandcamp, a few of my picks are streaming below:
City
I'm feeling this from new Canadian born, London-based producer City. He's just released a short, 3-track EP titled November. For me the stand-out of which is In the City. A sort of audio depiction of that 'end of night' feeling - it's for people who can't be bothered to dance anymore and just want to nod along in a trance-like state whilst wrapped in a blanket. Grab a free download below:
C H A N T S
Wisconsin producer CHANTS has been kind enough to include the desired situation in which to listen to his new album I Feel Like I Feel It in the title of this track. So thoughtful. So if you live in the Southern hemisphere (or are brave enough to withstand minus temperatures) and own a porch, get out there at 1AM and turn this up:
Cameo Pink
I have very little info on Cameo Pink, all I can really tell you is that he/she/they sound bloody good. Treasure is the second track which has a sort of Maribou State/Pedestrian vibe to it, with some Jamie xx style steel sounds (try saying that out loud) thrown in for good measure. Listen below:
TMPST
Islamabad producer TMPST dropped his super chill Serpentine EP last week. Three For is the stand out track and is crafted so beautifully, you can't help but be taken in by the whole surreally ecstatic aesthetic. Grab a free download below:
Jengan Skies
London-based producer Jengan Skies has just released his debut Slates EP - a sort of introspective, but truly lovely and immersive patchwork of sounds. The link to the full EP is right here, stream a couple of my picks below:
Pále
After two straight days of hating everything that's been thrown at me, the new one from Pále is so wonderful to hear. All Silver is sort of reminiscent of Gold Panda, the Lucky Shiner vibe is more than audible with dreamlike vocal samples that cut and weave through a beat that flutters so gently and makes me oh so happy. Grab it for free below:
Tiger Tsunami
Get your hands on this new freebie from London producer Tiger Tsunami. The textures of sound in this are lovely, backed by a playful beat Spanish Nights is full of life and pretty impossible to not bob along to. Give it a listen below and follow the link on the Soundcloud tab for a free download:
kwes
The talented kwes returns with a new track and the promise of a debut LP set for release (14.10) via Warp. I was lucky enough to catch him at a free show a couple of months back and the way he performs live is absolutely magical; I'd thoroughly recommend seeing him when you get the chance. Stream 36 below:
Navy Shade
It makes me sad realising that I probably won't ever inspire a producer to make a beautiful track like Julia Roberts did. Somehow, Kasia doesn't have quite the same ring to it. London producer Navy Shade is currently gaining support from the likes of Bondax, Armeria etc. & it's not too difficult to see why. Take a listen to Julia below:
Monto
Choirboys is the new one from Irish producer Monto. Kind of reminiscent of early James Blake, the track swells from good old percussive hand claps and vocal loops, to form a cocophony of staggering chords, and all sense of calm vanishes into well-organised chaos. It's fantastic. Grab a free download below:
MunDane
I just received my first taste of NYC producer MunDane, and I like it a lot....like a lot a lot. He's just released an EP called Small Apartment which can only really be described as a beautiful and interesting exploration of electronic sound. Already I'm a big fan, you can stream a couple of tracks taken from the EP below:
Also worth checking out is this super nice Blue Hawaii remix, in which he really does justice to what I personally think is the best track of the year (so far).
Gross Gross Girls
On the whole, trap-style percussion is a huge dislike of mine, but Gross Gross Girls (who makes music way more beautiful than the name suggests) has me thinking twice with new track Bloom. It turns out that trap percussion isn't always a negative thing when you know what you're doing with it, especially when paired with warm, swirling synths and dreamlike vocal samples. Grab a free download on behalf of Bad Panda below:

Kuage
Parisian producer Kuage serves up a slice of summer with the infectious A Part of You. This one is for fans of Maribou State, Pedestrian and so on. So go outside and go dance to this somewhere with all your friends:
