Here is a great minimal track, especially if you ever find yourself having a summer night minimal listening session, highly reccomended! If not, here is a good start to your new collection, but give it a listen here, first. "Evil Dub" is off Trentemøller's incredible must-have '06 debut album, The Last Resort. Anders Trentemøller is a Danish electronic musician from Copenhagen.
Today I noticed iTunes is promoting something called "DJ Playlists". Because of it's less than exciting theme, it probably would never have caught my attention if I hadn't seen the names of Diplo, David Guetta, Skrillex, and other popular, but more or less random DJs, one of them being a recent favorite, SBTRKT. So I took a listen to the clips of SBTRKT's 10 song selection and fell in love immediately. I haven't checked the others out and don't really plan to, but feel free. SBTRKT: DJ Playlist - August 2011 The mix includes: "The Lick" - Dark Sky "All Your Love" - Hudson Mohawke "Crystalfilm" - Little Dragon "Mozaik" - Zomby "U Don't Survive" - Machinedrum "Isolateur" - Mike Dehnert "Short Bus" - DFRNT "Unglued" - Objekt "Arnaud & Bernard" - Humanleft "Night Bird" - Nightwave It's a great mix of new funky electronic artists with a few I haven't heard of before. If you love garage and other artists like Falty DL, definitely check out this playlist hosted by iTunes! http://itunes.apple.com/us/playlist/sbtrkt-dj-playlist-august/id457552535 Also worth checking out is SBTRKT's mix for Mary Anne Hobbs!
This past spring, a friend of mine told me about this incredibly heavy yet refreshingly tasteful remix of the famous R&B cover. After a bit of hunting, I found out that HNNY is based in Stockholm and this remix was released on Sweet Surprise. Unfortunately, I can't find any other info! I would love to hear more from HNNY. Listen here! (I know, there's nothing up to embed, sorry!)
I've always liked this remix and just came across it again the other day. It is unexpected in a strange way that you'll have to discover for yourself! I don't want to ruin the surprise. Grab a free download! Foreign Born are San Francisco-based producers Matt Popieluch and Lewis Pesacov. Rostam Batmanglij (Vampire Weekend) is a producer and multi-instrumentalist.
Balam Acab (Alec Koone) brings us down into an arena of dubstep that is just beginning to be explored, where heavy bass and 8 bit synth blips meets powerful, raw acoustic samples. In "Regret Making Mistakes" the orderly structure of electronic music harmonizes with the inexplicable beauty of natural sounds leaving the listener in a contemplative trance.
