Honest: Geometry Of You

Four Tet: THE TRACK I’VE BEEN PLAYING THAT PEOPLE KEEP ASKING ABOUT AND THAT JOY USED IN HIS RA MIX AND DAPHNI PLAYED ON BOILER ROOM

No joke, that is what he titled this track. Obviously voicing some frustration about the current state of how music is released and consumed.

Dean Blunt: Papi

On Dean Blunt's newest LP, The Redeemer, he decide for his music to become more accessible and less dabbling and experimental. Which I think is great for everyone. He even said the songs are "romantic". Anyways, I'm excited.

Atoms For Peace interview with FACT Mag

A really good read over at FACT Magazine here. They inertview Thom Yorke and Nigel Godrich about the new Atoms For Peace album AMOK.

One of the more interesting things I think Thom said that resonates with this blog:
 "It’s a broad question, but how much of a role did dance music play in AMOK? You’ve been on both Boiler Room and Benji B’s Radio 1 show recently Thom, and you were playing footwork records – which to return to the idea of kinetics, is pretty much dance music distilled down to its most kinetic form.
 TY: “It’s everything, you know? It’s everything going forward as well – as I said earlier, it was a box, and this is our first response to it but it’s something I want to go deeper into… DJing it, breaking it up even more, and when we next meet up with the band it’s an area where I want to bring more to the table. It’s definitely informed by the best bits – for me, anyway – of dance music. I’m not a wholesale believer in all of it, but the stuff that’s good to me right now… it’s the most interesting stuff that’s happening.”
...
NG: “It’s interesting you ask about dance music though. It is the most happening area of popular music right now, it’s forward-looking and it’s inspiring – even if you don’t like all of it. It’s a little universe all of its own. This is something that’s different in that there’s interaction between electronics and acoustics, and there’s vocals – it’s a very rare thing. For me, it’s exciting because I’m a fan of Thom’s voice, and I’m now getting to hear it on something that’s genuinely original – there’s not much else that sounds like this. The possibilities seem endless. A lot of electronic music seems cold, because it’s missing a voice.”
TY: “For me, whenever I’m building anything, whether it’s on a laptop or drum machine or whatever… there’s always a vocal going in the back of my head. It’s almost impossible for me to listen to a dance tune from beginning to end without picturing a voice. I’m a singer, I can’t help it. I’ll listen to Actress tunes and I’m hearing vocals – it’s just me.”"

Gazelle Twin: Mammal (album stream)

Super good. If you like Fever Ray, you will dig this album. Check out the Clint Mansell remix, Mr. Mansell wrote the score for Requiem For A Dream and every other Darren Aronofsky film...baller.

Actress: Voodoo Posse Chronic Illusion (video)

A digitised, re-purposed and time-warped memory of the Tokyo skyline dissolves and switches over the length of the song, melding with the palette of deconstructed digital rhythms .

Boiler Room Magic (downloads)

We used t have this small room on campus in my middle school and we called it the boiler room. And we would make all these outlandish stories of what when on in there, with various people like Moon, our janitor. But this Boiler Room is much better. Check this trove of goodies I just found. downloads now available:
