Get to Know | Timbah

[ Timbah ]

Timir Goswami, aka Timbah , a 19 year old Sheffield, England native is making quite a name for himself, channelling his acknowledged  influences; early James Blake and godfathers of the L.A. Beat scene, Flying Lotus & Samiyam .

He tends to specialize in that chopped up, re-falsetto’d R&B groove. The difference, of course, between Timbah and those dime-a-dozen, slopped and screwers (Ehrm… OG Ron C) is his capitalization on the down beat, subsequently driven by his array of spontaneously introduced, woozy-rhythmed percussion lines, not to mention his typically extemporaneous arrangements within the well-explored world of 140 beats per minute.

“With producers like Sheffield’s Timbah around, no R&B vocals are safe.”

Mario | Let Me Love You (Lapalux Bootleg Remix)

[Lapalux]

Stuart Howard, riding high from his recent release on Brainfeeder , has reworked one of the most successful R&B singles of the past decade into a nearly unrecognizable beat number. Lapalux deconstructs the glossy original, synthesizing its parts into a frantic, densely layered amalgamation of manipulated vocal cuts and supplemental synth and percussion lines. Somehow, through texturing, bending and warping his noises, Howard manages to craft a swinging, soul-inflected tune from almost completely synthetic sound.

Get to Know | Holy Other

[Artwork for the 'With U' EP]

Holy Other is a Manchester born Witch-House producer who is currently signed to Tri Angle Records . He has been reported to spend time between London, Manchester, Berlin, Gothenburg and even Osaka. Much like Burial, Holy Other plays the mysterious card, letting his music speak predominantly for itself. His production started a year ago with remixes for the likes of How to Dress Well , Asobi Seksu and Walls . Holy Other is known for his ambient goth vibe and pitched down 90′s R&B vocal samples. The music below provides cases to this point.

“My aesthetic is shifty. I’ve usually been doing it in some bedroom somewhere, wherever it is. I haven’t written any music in Manchester, any music in the UK really at all. I’ve just been abroad the whole time. There hasn’t been a solid location. I can’t really say I’ve been holed up in a studio for months, because it’s just not true. So I guess it’s that I’m moving around, and that I’m influenced by things that are happening around me, rather than just staying in the same location, having the same themes about everything.”
