On July 7th, 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.

8prn | Crazy In Love / Forgive Bootleg /2013/04/23/8prn-crazy-in-luv-forgive-bootleg/ /2013/04/23/8prn-crazy-in-luv-forgive-bootleg/#comments Wed, 24 Apr 2013 05:41:07 +0000 Low-Life /?p=14469 Read More]]> Crazy In Love

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”.

Rhye | Open (Ryan Hemsworth Remix) /2013/02/20/rhye-open-ryan-hemsworth-remix/ /2013/02/20/rhye-open-ryan-hemsworth-remix/#comments Wed, 20 Feb 2013 21:13:56 +0000 Low-Life /?p=13797 Read More]]> Rhye - Open

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.
