Detroit’s Kyle Hall delivers a warm and crunchy re-intepretation of Mount Kimbie ‘s “You Took Your Time”. This remix will be featured on the CSFLY remix compilation forthcoming at the end of this month on Warp .


Jameszoo | Poek

Jameszoo

Jameszoo ’s Jheronimus EP follows his 2012 release, Faaveelaa, which received nods from The Gaslamp Killer and Mark Pritchard (Warp, Hyperdub, etc…) to name two. Inspired by the fantastical images painted by the Dutch artist from whom his album takes its name, Jheronimus sees Jameszoo experimenting once again with disparate jazz, folk, and electronic elements that somehow, albeit odd, balance each other out. Listen to “Poek,” the standout track, below and if it moves you, experience the entire EP here .

Jackson and His Computer Band | Vista

In 2005, Jackson and His Computer Band launched Smash via Warp Records , a blatantly clever and dramatic record that has since become somewhat of a mini-classic.

Eight years later, Jackson Fourgeaud has emerged from relative obscurity with news of Glow , his sophomore album, as well as the lead single. Allegedly, Glow is the product of Fourgeaud’s custom-made instruments and will be accompanied by a brand new live show specifically designed for the album.

“[Glow is] a game of musical obsessions and rageous pleasures. I’ve made it driven by feverish moments of revelation and sharing them with my friends…The live show opens a territory of everlasting changes and real time communion with the audience. My Computerband is now fully alive”.
(Jackson Fourgeaud via FACT )

“Vista” belongs beside Kavinsky ’s composition – “Nightcall” – for the Drive soundtrack. Glow drops September 2.

Mount Kimbie | Blood and Form

Mount Kimbie

Following a series of announcements regarding their forthcoming album, Mount Kimbie have debuted the second single off of Cold Spring Fault Less Youth . “Blood and Form” is a slow burner, grounded in a hollow, marching beat and soft horns that simmer beneath deliberately deadpan vocals.

Tune in to Benji B’s BBC Radio 1 show later this evening to catch Dom and Kai’s live session, recorded earlier this week at Maida Vale studios.

Cold Spring Fault Less Youth is out May 27 th via Warp .

In anticipation for TNGHT’s upcoming U.S. tour, the glorified duo have released a one track single titled “Acrylics”, released via Bleep ( Warp x Lucky Me ). After consistently lighting dance floors on fire with their previously released TNGHT EP (Warp x Lucky Me), fans and followers were eagerly awaiting the next product released by the super-group. Make of it what you will, but surely expect DJs to play out this jumpy, horn-heavy club sound across the international electronic music scene.

Jamie Lidell | Jamie Lidell LP

WARP232_480px_72dpi_sRGB

Released on February 19th via Warp Records , Jamie Lidell is Lidell ‘s fourth record following his 2005 return to solo work with Multiply, Jim (2008), and Compass (2010). Jamie Lidell was committed to tape and mixed at Lidell ’s newly built studio in his new home in Nashville, the latest stop on a restless migratory pattern that has seen him move from his birthplace in the heart of England, through the musical hotbeds of Berlin and New York. On this latest project, Lidell blends equal parts soul and funk with experimental electronic and dance influences.

Lidell will be touring Europe and North America over March and April. Check out the tour schedule here .

I have not carefully listened through the record in its entirety, and I don’t have time to give it the review it deserves, but after a quick preview of each of the tracks, “Blaming Something” and “What A Shame” are two of the stand-out cuts for me.

Track Listing
1. I’m Selfish
2. Big Love
3. What A Shame
4. Do Yourself a Faver
5. You Naked
6. why_ya_why
7. Blaming Something
8. You Know My Name
9. So Cold
10. Don’t You Love Me
11. In Your Mind

Mount Kimbie | Made to Stray

Mount Kimbie

Shadows turn to grey / Slave today-

Yesterday evening, while Ben UFO was preparing for his Rinse FM show, he received a rather cryptic video message from Mount Kimbie and subsequently got his hands on (and played out) the first track to emerge from the UK duo’s forthcoming record.

As it stands, Mount Kimbie are keeping the details of the album almost entirely under wraps. The pair recently mentioned that the LP is in fact finished, will be released via Warp and is heavily influenced by being on tour and playing live for two years straight. The title and release date have yet to be announced. However, it won’t be too much longer until we know more- Dom and Kai have an upcoming string of tour dates and will be releasing some more tunes in the not too distant future.

“Made to Stray” is longer that what we would generally expect from the pair, but it’s a welcome adjustment. Atop a bed of clicking percussion, MK’s characteristic warm, warbling synths build into a melodic climax complete with distant, melancholy vocals. Have a listen to the radio rip below.

Update : In the last week Dom and Kai have made it known that the album, entitled Cold Spring Fault Less Youth, will be released on May 27th, announced a U.S./Canadian tour , and offered up “Made to Stray” for free download. Head here to grab it.

Darkstar – Timeaway

Flying Lotus | Until The Quiet Comes LP

Steve Ellison’s latest opus, Until the Quiet Comes , the widely anticipated full-length follow-up to his lauded Cosmogramma LP, drops tomorrow on Warp . Ellison takes us on a tour through lush, glimmering, ephemeral altered states of consciousness–(Listen to “Dream to Me” and “Until The Colours Come.”)

His grooves and melodies on tracks like “Putty Boy Strut,” “Sultan’s Request” and “Nightcaller” reflect a child-like looseness, mischieviousness, and sense of humour. Ellison’s smoky melancholic jazz-moods are prevalent in “Only If You Wanna,” “Hunger”, and “Phantasm.”

Fly Lo calls on a handful of gifted peers for guest appearances– including Erykah Badu, Niki Randa, Laura Darlington, and Thom Yorke. Thundercat’s deft bass dances on a handful of tracks.

Flying Lotus will be commencing a world tour Oct. 1st beginning with a handful of dates in L.A. and N.Y.C.

You can stream the entire album from NPR here . Also, you can catch an interview with Flying Lotus on the Gilles Peterson show this week on BBC Radio 6.

1. All In
2. Getting There feat. Niki Randa

Jimmy Edgar | Majenta LP

In anticipation of his upcoming LP release on Hot Flush entitled Majenta , Jimmy Edgar has graciously shared this euphoric dance-floor cut to give us all a taste of what is to come on the album.

Flying Lotus | Between Friends (ft. Earl Sweatshirt and Captain Murphy)

Accompanied by Earl Sweatshirt and mystery man Captain Murphy , Flying Lotus offers out “Between Friends,” the latest addition to the weekly Adult Swim Singles Series . Over FlyLo’s typical harmonic and jazzy groove, Earl and Murphy spit back and forth to the point where one voice blends into the other, leaving one in a haze and confused as to who is actually speaking.

FlyLo’s forthcoming LP, Until the Quiet Comes , is set to drop on October 2nd via Warp and there’s some tour dates to go along with that. Check here to see if he’ll be stopping by your town anytime soon.

Video: Square Pusher | Dark Steering

Adding to an expansive discography of mind-bogglingly intricate frenetic experimental (acid-tinged) drum and bass music, Tom Jenkinson (a.k.a. Squarepusher ) just put out his latest album Ufabulum on Warp .

Compared to his debut LP Feed Me Weird Things (1996) , on “Dark Steering”, Squarepusher sounds less focused on articulating hyper-stimulated breaks and more focused on developing a narrative through synth orchestration. However, the baffling complexity and explosive energy of his rhythms remain unchanged.

TNGHT | Bugg’n

[Lunice & Hudson Mohawke]

TNGHT is a fresh project from producers Hudson Mohawke and Lunice . From what we hear, the duo premiered the act at this year’s SXSW and, as one could expect, made an excellent first impression.

The two have recently announced that their debut self-titled EP will be available late-July, jointly released through Warp and LuckyMe . If you weren’t able to catch them down south, get acquainted below with the first taste of their release: the wonky, bass-driven “Bugg’n.”
