Split Secs | Slave [Vocal Preview]
Los Angeles based group, Split Secs, are floating under the radar despite the fact that they produce music of very high quality. The one-minute clip of their recent work is a cover of Camacho’s Project’s 1990′s house gem, titled Slave. Split Sec’s rendition is currently sitting at a mere 16 plays on Soundcloud, and this to me is baffling. With a deep groove thumping underneath a sensual vocal line, Slave is surely deserved of more ears.

Disclosure | Latch ft. Sam Smith
[Guy and Howard Lawrence, a.k.a. Disclosure]
This afternoon, prolific UK bass duo, Disclosure, treated followers by uploading a brand-new track on their soundcloud account. Latch is one of those songs that demands jurisdiction over your limbs, cueing your arms and legs to jerk in time. With the addition of newcomer Sam Smith‘s sensual vocals, the club-driven, ‘tailored-for-the-dance floor’ composition is ideal for listener’s Friday night festivities.
Rumour has it that a full length LP is in the works, expected to release next year.

Short Film: Flying Lotus | Until The Quiet Comes
In anticipation for Steven Ellison’s [a.k.a. Flying Lotus's] upcoming album, Los Angeles based director Kahlil Joseph created a short film featuring music from the LP forthcoming on Warp Records. The tracks featured in the short consist of: See Thru to U feat. Erykah Badu, Hunger feat. Niki Randa, and Getting There feat. Niki Randa.
The piece is shot beautifully; colours are provoking and camera angles seem as if the film could be frozen in place at any second, resulting in a tasteful photograph.
Pre-order Until The Quiet Comes, here.

Shlohmo | Boiler Room 60 Minute Mix
Just Incase you missed it, here is Shlohmo’s hour long DJ set from The Boiler Room Los Angeles. Personally, my favorite moments from the mix include Jeremih’s Fuck U All The Time, Ghost Town DJ’s My Boo, and a chopped and screwed rendition of the theme song from the late television show, All That.
If you like what you heard, make sure to pick up the free download on the Soundcloud widget.
Update: The audio for the Youtube video has been disabled due to some copyright issues- hopefully it’s back up soon.

Video: Grimes | Genesis
[Claire Boucher, a.k.a, Grimes]
The video for Genesis is one step into the weird workings of Claire Boucher’s mind. The self-directed piece features Grimes and stripper/rapper Brooke Candy spiritually gallivanting in front of various settings. Genesis is taken from the album, Visions, out now on 4AD/Arbutus.

Arp 101 x Elliot Yorke | Fluro Black
London beat makers, Arp 101 and Elliot Yorke, have tagged up to bring followers a collaboration EP forthcoming via Donky Pitch Records. The single, Fluro Black, has recently surfaced on various Soundcloud accounts with the intent to promote the upcoming partnership. I particularly enjoy the variety of clicks and clacks featured throughout the beat, especially the sample of an ice-cube dropping into an empty glass.

Jessie Ware | Sweet Talk
[Jessie Ware]
Earlier this morning, English pop-soul artist, Jessie Ware, unofficially released the single, Sweet Talk, by making the track available to stream on her own Youtube channel. Sweet Talk features production from Bristolian bass-music behemoth, Julio Bashmore, and by Dave Okumu, the lead singer and guitarist of the British band, The Invisible.
Jessie Ware’s Sweet Talk is a dreamy and seductive combination between tasteful electronic-yet-organic production, and Jessie’s gentle depiction of submitting to emotion opposed to logic. The result is beautiful, achieving near perfect chemistry of atmosphere and sentiment.
Sweet Talk is taken from the Jessie’s debut album, Devotion, available to pre-order, here.
