DJ Shadow: "Six Days" (Machinedrum Remix) [Liquid Amber]
Hey this just come out yesterday. Both of these dudes are pretty much infallible and DJ Shadow belongs somewhere in the pantheon of electronic music deities, so this track is a party and an education in one. -Jemayel Khawaha (@JemayelK)Jesse Slayter & Wuki: "That's Right" [Mad Decent]
Bassline! We can't escape the sound at the moment, but good lord, why would we want to? It's fun to be right in the midst of a vibe at its most a-happenin', so let's enjoy it while we got it. -Jemayel KhawajaGoldroom: "Till Sunrise"
The current wave of "tropical house" that's taking over Soundcloud often makes me a bit nauseous. Sure I love tropical things,and will crush a few Piña Coladas from time to time, but seriously—enough with the damn marimbas. We get it. I'm very refreshed to see tropi-dude Goldroom move away from the fluff for some gorgeous chillwavy ear-sex, reminding me of classic M83. -David Garber (@dlgarber)Kaytranada feat. Shay Lia: "Leave Me Alone" [XL Recordings]
This guy has the gift of pulling the best sounds from various genres and gently sewing them back together for a finished product smoother than a baby's bottom. Take notes. -David GarberVessel: "Red Sex" [Tri Angle Records]
This sounds like it was made by FKA Twigs' evil twin, who is actually a slimy multi-tentacled monster, and I'm so so into it I could die. -Michelle Lhooq (@MichelleLhooq)Felicita: "Doves" [Gum]
A deranged scramble of YouTube makeup tutorials, wistful sighs and declarations of love straight out of a Ryan Trecartin video. Welcome to the post-Sophie universe. -Michelle LhooqSudanim: "Pleasure Flood" [Her Records]
If you pay close enough attention, you can hear the demons exiting your soul in fast forward when you listen to this track. -Gabriel Herrera (@gabrielherrera)Mark Wundercastle: "AC" [1080p Collection]
Seven minutes of 2000s-era air blade snares and exploratory synths over a plump bassline from New Zealander Mark Wundercastle, on what's quickly becoming one of my favorite labels. Keep your eyes on 1080p. -Gabriel HerreraDJ Nature: "No Talk" [Jazzy Sport]
Best new music (this record was just actually pressed, so I get a pass). DJ Nature on my new favorite Japanese imprint, Jazzy Sport with a song so vibey, it will relax your soul of any aforementioned rule infractions. -Joel Folwer (@freemagic)Flume: What About Us (Worthy Remix)
What is deeper than deep? Only the Bass will tell. -Olyvia Salyer (@thethreewise)Coyu Ft. Cari Golden: Profound Pleasure [Defected Records]
Meow. -Olyvia SalyerLucas: "Keep You Warm"
Are you sad about all the crazy shit going on in the world? Me too. - Lauren Schwartzberg (@LaurSchwar)NGHT DRPS: "Such Wavy" [Through My Speakers]
Stuff from Berlin to feel tuff to. -Amada EcheverriaEl Kid: "Labyrinths" [Tape]
Summer is ending :( -Elissa StolmanCaustic Window: "Squidge in the Fridge" [Rephlex]
They went an unearthed a buried Aphex Twin album from 1994 and now I'm having the most glorious flashbacks of moonlit raves on Half Moon Bay beach. -Vivian Host (@stareyezzz)Murlo: "Hydra" [Boxed]
Instrumental grime warlords Boxed come through with a 20-track compilation of space-suit music perfect for walking around RPGs feeling like a gully skengman. Hard to pick one track, but how about "Hydra" from your favorite producers' favorite producer Murlo? -Vivian HostFrom past THUMPDays:
