MP3 blog 2013/09/03

blog 2013/09/03 - sometimes I want you to be the one to call


A/T/O/S - A Taste Of Struggle (Commodo Mix):  Get ready for a chillbass heavy update this week, and we'll start it off right with this super smooth single.

C. Diab - Stone:  Wonderful melodies, all droned out in to states of bliss.

Conner Youngblood - Proportions:  Guitar + skitter vox all over this plodder.

Dan∆logOne - Places:  Downtempo framework with a 4/4 beat, from the album Skys.

Dracula Lewis - Permafrost:  Oh god I love this oh so much.

Flume - Left Alone ft Chet Faker (Ta-Ku Remix)
Flume - Sleepless (Paces Remix):  2 incredible slices from Fume here, and each by a familiar name in the so-awesome-bass category.

Julio Bashmore - Au Seve (Bengfang Trapped Remix):  Bashmore gets the intensity ramped up for a short little trap spell.

K.Flay - Hail Mary ft Danny Brown:  D.B. stands for douchebag, but the flow on this is all sorts of hotness.

Kanye West - Mercy (D.Fine Remix):  I've said it before and I'll say it again:  Kanye reworks are always best when you subtract the Kanye.

Little Boots - Motorway:  Little Boots is back with more of her pop pleasantries with her new album Nocturnes

Local Natives - You & I:  I am still digesting the new album Hummingbird, but this song immediately jumps out as a highlight.  For fans of Grizzly Baer, Beach House, and that entire vein.

Los Rakas - Abr Zame (Uproot Andy Mix):  The now classic riddim falls in to UA's toolkit and it still sounds like sex.

Ólafur Arnalds - Endalaus II
Ólafur Arnalds - Two Songs for Dance:  The new album Two Songs for Dance has some vocals on it that I really couldn't dig, but the instrumental tracks with their clicky IDM beats are pretty damn marvellous.

Rae Spoon - God Was On Your Shoulders
Rae Spoon - Love Is A Hunter (My Prairie Home version):  Let's not mince words:  My Prairie Home is a stunning album.  A fully realized new work, it also serves as soundtrack to the new National Film Board documentary of the same name on Rae.  Jarringly beautiful autobiographical songs sit perfectly balanced against instrumental vignettes, offering up moments of solace, reflection, and a moment to breathe before moving to the next scene.  It even includes an incredible rework of Love Is A Hunter.  HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

Rhye - Open (Bondax Remix):  One of the most beautiful tracks of the last year gets a wonderful new dress for another night on the town.

Swimming - Triplebrie:  Yeah with a name like that I think I was guaranteed to love it.

Termanology - Bars For Days:
