Groundislava | Suicide Mission (ft. Baths)
Today, Jasper Patterson offers up the second single from his forthcoming LP, Feel Me , out via Friends of Friends August 28th.
As one could assume, the title of Groundislava ‘s latest, “Suicide Mission,” preemptively sets the melancholic tone of the piece, which is then solidified by Bath ‘s crestfallen vocals as well as the accompanying nostalgia-inducing soundscapes.

Groundislava | TV Dreams Video/Tomas Barfod Remix
Groundislava ‘s much-anticipated TV Dream EP is out now on the eclectic Friends of Friends imprint and, as per usual, the album comes equipped with some bonus treats as well.
Earlier today, Jasper Patterson premiered the video for the title track as well as a remix, courtesy of FoF affiliate Tomas Barfod . Patterson commissioned The Great Nordic Sword Fights , a multimedia story-telling duo, to bring his sound to image and we suspect that the result is more than he could have hoped for. Watch the video, compiled of vintage film clips, below and see for yourself.
Barfod’s take on the nostalgic, 80s inspired track is a pleasant surprise also. Through extending the tune to seven minutes and emphasizing that four-to-the-floor kick, the Danish producer manages to mold “TV Dream” into a more accessible, dance-floor oriented tune while maintaining those sophisticated video game vibes.

Friends of Friends | 2012 Remixes Collected
Friends of Friends is one of the most generous imprints out there. As those over at XLR8R have already pointed out, it’s rare that the label releases a record without at least one or two accompanying remixes and most of the time these edits are offered out free-of-charge.
In celebration of the warm weather (or whatever else you feel like revelling in), FoF have compiled a selection of reworked tracks from the first half of the year.
Summer’s here, and we wanted to bring you a collection of the FoF crew’s hottest remixes from the first half of 2012. You may remember a few of these from earlier this year, but we’ve got some new heat for you, and of course, RL Grime & Salva’s massive “Mercy” remix. So sit back, watch the fireworks, and download them all below.

Groundislava | Weekend in the Tropics
Aptly titled, Groundislava ‘s latest piece, “Weekend in the Tropics,” alludes to those hedonistic, carefree summer days that seem to be becoming more and more frequent.
It’s been a moment since we heard from the Wedidit cohort. However, Jasper Patterson has recently been hard at work on his next EP, TV Dream , out June 26th on Friends of Friends . Based on GIL’s nonchalantly expert take on beat and electronic production, we’re very much looking forward to this new addition to our summer playlists. The first single is available for free below-

Shlohmo | The Way You Do (Airhead Remix)
[Airhead]
The physical copies of Henry Laufer’s Vacation EP host a raft of remixes by Nicolas Jaar , Salva , Groundislava , and Airhead . The latter name, Airhead, is the brainchild of Rob McAndrews and besides his notable collaboration with James Blake in 2010, he’s released next to nothing. However, throughout the past couple months, when he’s had some spare time from providing his services as the guitarist for James Blake’s live sets, he’s crafted an EP, set to be released on R&S later this year.
His interpretation of Shlohmo ‘s ‘The Way You Do’ offers a taste of what to expect from his forthcoming record. Airhead’s rendering is a meticulous and stunningly diffuse tune that turns on slow, yearning chords and ominous undertones.
