Jaja, Kollege Dreampop und seine seltsamen Freunde. Lockets zum Beispiel, genauer gesagt Todd und Dan aus Philadelphia, die mit ihrer Debütsingle die Kollegen von Beach House ganz schön unverträumt aussehen lassen. Aber hören Sie doch selbst!
Astronomar’s simple but effective productions are bringing fun back to our dance scene. A formula that has seemed to been lost in the late 00’s til present day when huge “in your face” synth’s became common place. Back to the Beat caught our ear a while back when it was dropped by the LOL boys at one of the now infamous Well parties in DTLA. Swordfight is a new track with an addictive ascending synth drop and space sword fighting sounds and weird bells to fill out the rest. With a great tune “Got To Move On” on Discobelle already and a new release from Top Billin in the near future plus more, we’re very glad to add Astronomar to our family.
Mad Decent is proud to announce its very own “Mad Decent Volume 1″ compilation, featuring 18 tracks hand selected by label head Diplo from his favorite overlooked remixes of past releases plus a variety of new music from the label’s next crop of artists.
The compilation presents a selection of Mad Decent artist who’ve helped shape the label’s unique personality since its inception. Featuring blistering remixes of classics such as Bosco Delrey’s “Wild One” (Reset! Remix) and Maluca’s “El Tigeraso” (Sticky K Remix) to unreleased gems like Boy 8-bit “House on the Hill” and Dillon Francis’s “Beautician 2.0″, to in your face bangers like Rusko’s “Everyday” (Netsky Remix). Mad Decent Vol. 1 is as much a showcase of the label’s biggest names and tracks as it is an illustration of its incessant efforts to bring new genres and cultures to light.
The label has come a long way from the underground Philly scene where it all started, collecting a diversified group of artists along the way. From Blaqstarr, to Rusko, to Savage Skulls and PO PO, the sound and influences come from all over the world, and somehow work together to form a unified front of weirdos that make music outside the lines.
We’ve seen artists explode, interns come and go, bills forgetting to get paid, mix tapes getting us sued, and block parties going nationwide. Through it all, we’ve made a really amazing catalog of music, which is what this comp is all about. Check out some of Diplo’s favorite tracks from past releases plus a bunch of new music from our newest lot of artists.

Badda-bing-dadda-do, it’s the return of A La Fu with the latest in an irregularly brilliant series of Big Dada Podcasts. This one is sort of the equivalent of one of those huge American ultra-sandwiches that refuse to compromise on consisting of absolutely everything that you just might possibly want and then some. The difference is, the podcast is possible to consume without getting mayo-glued-turkey all over your chin. There’s absolutely brand new and never before heard music from Roots Manuva, for one thing. Not one, but TWO new tracks from his forthcoming album, 4everevolution. Sitting between these like slices of free-range grass fed cow are exclusive unveilings from Bang On! and DELS, the new summer anthem single from Wiley, new material from Elan Tamara, a classic from the vaults and a special feature from Bang On! It’s so good it should be unhealthy.
Empfohlenes Material für lange Überlandfahrten: Ausreichend Wasser. Aktuelles Kartenmaterial. „The Errant Charm” von Vetiver. Das fünfte Album von Songwriter Andy Cabic unter dem Bandnamen ist keines an dem man sich abzuarbeiten hätte - was nicht heißt, dass es nicht mit der Zeit wüchse. Es sind auch keine Hits drauf - obwohl sich Ohrwürmer wie „Wonder Why” finden. „The Errant Charm” ist ein wunderbar in sich selbst ruhendes Indiefolkalbum: eine ruhige Stimme, die sagt, dass alles gut wird, selbst wenn sie nur mit sich selbst spricht. Dass Cabic sonst mit Devendra Banhart und Joanna Newsom abhängt (mit deren Platten man durchaus seine liebe Not haben kann), verwundert da beinahe ein bisschen. Ein Tüftler und Bilderstürmer ist Cabic nicht. Aber ein beeindruckender Songschreiber mit einer nicht unsympathischen Rampenlichtallergie.
“The Errant Charm” ist bereits bei Cooperative/Universal erschienen.
