Ahead of its release on Ryan Hemsworth ’s Guilt Trips Remix EP, Samo Sound Boy has shared his extended, energized take on Hemsworth and Tinashe ’s slow burning “One For Me.”

On July 7 th , for the second time, Ray-Ban and Boiler Room teamed up to host the Pitchfork Festival official afterparty situated at Lacuna Lofts in Chicago, IL. For this special occasion, the organizers presented the crowd with none other than Jacques Greene , Nicolas Jaar , Todd Edwards , Ryan Hemsworth , Teklife alongside their crew of footwork dancers to entertain the packed room.
Fortunately, if you missed the broadcast or simply want to be reminded of how much you danced at the show, Greene’s expectedly stunning mix is available for streaming/download below.

Everybody wants me to say something about my private life, as much of it as is left. Here goes-
Through various forms of social media, Shlohmo , D33J and the rest of the family at Wedidit have announced their next release- a split EP between two producers who respectively go by C.Z. and Arnold. Led by a spirited yet mournful piano line and chopped up vocal samples that flutter above a handful of enigmatic elements, the colourful track doesn’t stray far from the distinctive brand of sound that the collective has cultivated.
The split EP will be available this coming Tuesday.

Vancouver-based producer Patrick Holland has been busy in recent weeks. While not in the studio or at school, he has been warming up local crowds for the likes of Shlohmo , Groundislava , and Ryan Hemsworth and others as well as playing casual sets at the Chapel Sound nights .
In late March, he released his second EP titled Over It via our very own web-based label Blenheim & Celtic . Although Over It did not receive an avalanche of press, the record met with enthusiastic approval from a handful of authoritative music tastemakers including Andrew Ryce, a music journalist who writes for both Pitchfork and Resident Advisor . One morning a week-or-so following the release, while listening to Hemsworth get into the swing of his set for Diplo & Friends broadcast via BBCR1 , Holland was pleasantly surprised to hear the opening bars of “Runnin’”, one of the cuts from his recent EP, blend into the mix. Around the same time period, he was approached by WCR Management–the manager behind Kaytranada , a young Montreal-based hip-hop producer who has been making waves in recent months. (Check out our recent interview with Kaytranada here.)
In the past week, Holland added two new sounds to his catalog of bootlegs, which is growing healthily.
Last week he released his hypnotic energetic four-to-the-floor adaptation of “Forgive,” a track off Burial ‘s debut self-titled instant-classic.
Today, he dropped his slinky mangled interpretation of Beyoncé ‘s epic pop anthem “Crazy In Love”.

As is the case with each member of the Wedidit brethren, Ryan Hemsworth has an uncanny knack for crafting one excellent remix after another. The Canadian producer has been on a flawless run since he debuted his Frank Ocean bootleg last summer and his latest, a take on Rhye ’s “Open,” fits neatly into his unblemished record.
To borrow from RMBA - “Actually, this song is too good for an edit. But Ryan Hemsworth pulls it off.” While more or less keeping the heavy-hearted vocals intact, Hemsworth overlays the track with a mixture of warm, luxurious synths, skittering high hats and a strong, palpitating bassline.

Ryan Hemsworth ’s latest effort, a rework of Cat Power ’s lead single from last year’s Sun , premiered on BBC Radio 1 over the weekend. The Canadian producer, who is just gearing up for a short trip to the EU, has crafted yet another tastefully sedated groove and attributes the opportunity to do so, officially, to his Frank Ocean bootleg from last summer.
Angel Haze spits a sharp, intoxicating verse to introduce the track.

Today Friends of Friends released ‘Show Me The Future,’ a seven-track compilation of original songs by DJAO , Evenings , Pcoat , Ryan Hemsworth , Dreams , Octo Octa , and Kid Smp . Ranging in tempo from 119-164bpm, the collection offers a diverse but fluid set of atmospheric tunes.

We are a day late on delivering this, but we had to wait up until the 31st to pull this thing together – just in case we needed to make any last minute additions (and also because we are habitually disorganized and tardy).
After a haphazard electronic congress amongst the various selectas’ in our slightly dysfunctional family, we put together a collage of the music that moved us in MMXII.
We didn’t attempt to rank these releases–nor to affix to each of them a rating–because it is our view that this sort of enterprise is not meaningful. We assure you that we have vetted all of it. Finding high-grade jams below should be straight-forward–like shooting fish in a barrel. We invite you to trust us and to peruse with an open mind and curiosity.

Since his debut on Wedidit , Canadian producer Ryan Hemsworth has been showing face on an impressive number of remixes for artists such as Grimes , Frank Ocean , and The 1975 . For his latest release, Hemsworth touched down on fellow Canadian Black Atlass ’ single “Castles,” coating it in a bass-heavy wrap that rests heavy on a hip hop-leaning rhythm. Also, with gratitutde, Hemsworth just recently compiled all of his mixes from the last year into a neat little package, which you can grab right here .

Bruiser Brigade is a Detroit collab formed in 2010 that brings together DopeHead, Chip $ Skywlkr, Chavis Chandler and the infamous Danny Brown . The following is a remix of ‘ Errthang ‘ by Ryan Hemsworth , the Canadian component of the WEDIDIT collective.

On the heels of his WEDIDIT debut EP, Last Words , Ryan Hemsworth gives rise to a vibrant rework of Groundislava ’s “Suicide Mission,” a Baths -assisted cut from his acclaimed Feel Me LP ( Friends of Friends ).
Hemsworth’s thoughtfully energetic retouch dropped Friday, September 14 th , marking the start of Groundislava ’s month-long North American tour (see dates above). Catch him if you can.

21-year-old Ryan Hemsworth is the latest member to join the “professionally unprofessional” Wedidit crew and when asked to describe his sound as a type of food, he probably couldn’t have given a better answer.
“Kitchen sink cookies, and well baked. There are a lot of artists making kitchen sink cookies and taking them out before the buzzer goes off or putting more than they should into them. Fresh buttery cookies off the pan into your ears.”
(via
Yours Truly
)
“Charly Wingate,” the first single to be let go from Hemsworth’s forthcoming EP Last Words, is a subtly sinister jam- a smoky, rap-smeared lullaby woven together by infectious beats that keep your head bobbing long after the song is though. Octave Abaji and Hector de la Vallee of the Fusils a Pompe Graphic Squad composed the accompanying video.
Last Words drops on August 21 st complete with reworks by Shlohmo and friends.
