Four Tet’s Album Title Is Terrible, But
Yesterday, Four Tet released a 38 minute mix entitled 1081. What kind of album title is that! How crazy am I going to sound when I suggest to my friend to listen to Four Tet’s “1081?” “It’s called 1081. What? No-the album, it’s called 1081. Why? I don’t know. Ask Four Tet. What? You don’t have to listen [...]

Listen to A-Trak – Landline (feat. GTA)
One of the new A-trak releases exhibits two very welcome traits: genre boundary-blurring and the clever use of a Woody the Woodpecker laugh sample. “Landline” is a gratifying collaboration with the young GTA and features the Canadian’s sophisticated turntable talents at a catchy 140 beats per minute trap house beat. The heavy bass oscillates atop subtle electric piano [...]

After spending this past summer touring with established musicians such as Flight Facilities, Flume, Goldroom and Todd Terje, Sydney-based producer Isaac Tichauer has a beautiful new deep house track to share. The friendly electronic vibes last over six minutes with tropical rhythms that consist of pleasing synths, solid basslines and syncopated percussion. Prominent and repetitive vocals magnify the [...]

Harley Streten is a local Sydney beat maker who got his first taste for producing music at age 13 from the unlikeliest of sources: a cereal box. The breakfast bundle strangely ignited his career because it included a music production program. Now 20-years old, he still lives with his parents in the Australian beach-side suburb of Manly and [...]

Listen to Big Boi “Lines” ft. A$AP Rocky and Phantogram
With Big Boi’s new album Vicious Lies And Dangerous Rumors scheduled to be released next month, the buzz surrounding the album is starting to build. “Lines” is the latest release featuring a verse from A$AP Rocky (who seems to mimic Big Boi’s flow) and chorus by Phantogram’s Sarah Barthel. Lyrically, this isn’t the most interesting track. Still, we expect [...]

Blackbird Blackbird “Running Up That Hill” (Kate Bush Cover)
Bay Area producer and DJ Blackbird Blackbird has put together a gorgeous and rhythmic “cover” of Kate Bush’s “Running Up That Hill.” With his characteristic je ne sais quoi, Blackbird Blackbird drowns Bush’s vocals in reverb creating an expressive echo reminiscent of “Hawaii” or “Pure.” A minute in, the ambient track builds with layers of percussion and flittering [...]
