Producer. DJ. Vocalist. Musical instrument. Beatport Queen. I could go on and on about Anna Lunoe but I don’t wanna cross the proverbial creepy line. I will say that Ms. Lunoe is certainly on a roll right now after the release of her massive “Real Talk” EP. And today we’ve got her first ever solo release. Here’s what she had to say about the song:
“Curated by A-Trak & Catchdubs, I was MAD EXCITED when Fools Gold offered to release my first solo track ‘Up & Down’ as part of the first ever Fools Gold Clubhouse Compilation. This track was written in the middle of winter during some kind of lonely girl moment. I hope it makes you get down/feel weird. “
Get down? Indeed. Feel weird? Maybe. Feel tingly. Certainly. Thanks, Anna.
Erotic city…
It’s always respectable when an artist or group, like SBTRKT, pushes their own boundaries of creativity. Through sonic experimentation they’ve created an original track that helps ease the mind with it’s feel-good analog sound. With all of the music that they’ve put out after their initial debut album, I’m dying for another big release. Hear the new SBTRKT after the jump and join me in hoping for another album!
The dynamic duo from Los Angeles, Oliver, is keeping things low key and groovy with their brand new White Light mix. They take us on a 1-hour journey through sonic landscapes with a certain vibe in mind…
“In a world between dreams and reality, this mix was intended to conjure the feeling of a night cruise down some lost highway draped in a tapestry of stars.”
They couldn’t have done it better, so waste no more time and check it out after the jump.
As with many profound experiences, words cannot express the thoughts, feelings, and emotions that culminated from the 3-day fantasy land, Lightning in a Bottle. After attending, I realized what it was that motivates a company to be committed to “the highest levels of art, production, and aesthetic to always challenge people’s preconceived notions of reality and what is possible.” (website) There are countless festivals and music events in the world, but it is clear that Lightning in a Bottle is in a class of it’s own because of The Do LaB‘s determination to create an event that encompasses music, art, spirituality, and culture.

Formed in 2010, Canadian electronic band Purity Ring, is a genre-defiant duo that has already built a huge cult following with four singles and have yet to release their first album. Warping up influences from 90′s R&B, Trap, Rape-Gaze and lush dream pop… Corin Roddick’s stunning production and Megan James’ eerie vocals compose disturbing club lullabies that will leave you drifting in a daze.

More world-class emerging talent here from Kerri Chandler’s latest, MadTech Records. Kashii weaves bass house music that is at once detailed, lush, so deep and smooth but at the same time, grabs you with its one-foot-in-front-of-the-other pace, trading off between a pounding beat, striking leads and varied percussion. What’s really going to blow you away is once the title track, Rome, gets to the 3:50 mark.

Squarepusher just released his massive new album Ufabulum, a psychedelic, unfathomably intricate record that is so good, it is almost impossible to describe.

If you are a fan of all types of electronic music, I highly recommend you pick this album up!
