Shigeto – Soaring

[Flash 9 is required to listen to audio.]

“Lineage (Prologue)” eases into being with windchimes, effects, circular organ and little else, recalling a particularly subdued Sun Ra passage. That segues into “Lineage” proper, which props up the melody with shifty uptempo percussion and bass. “Ann Arbor Part 3 & 4” announces itself with lovely keys and falling rain before hip-hop beats steal the show. “Soaring” eases back into a handclap, acoustic guitar and harp sounds reverie, underpinned with lazy, spacey bass. Shigeto’s brilliant drumming takes center stage on “A Child’s Mind,” moving from a bombastic unaccompanied run into esoteric jazz and finally settling into a shuffling, prismatic hip-hop. Shigeto’s deft cymbal and snare work are also found on Huron River Drive, a dubby, smoky, soulful joint that dials back the lysergic digitalia that colors so much of the mini-LP as a whole. The title of “Field Trip” perfectly captures the adolescent joy and wonderment of the song, with live drums, ebullient toybox sounds and wide-eyed melodies. The understated “Please Stay,” which adds rare vocal sounds to Shigeto’s repertoire of claps and keys, gently guides listeners out of the journey through Lineage. (Ghostly.com)

Teebs - Collection 1

Teebs aka Mtendere Mandowa released ‘Collection 1’ on Brainfeeder. I love it. (click the title or the pic of this post to listend or buy his music)

Pitchfork about Teebs new release: “The way he uses filters and closely clipped loops has the effect of a pleasantly smudged watercolor painting (much like those he designs himself), vague hints of otherwise implacable sounds rotating and repeating in a whimsical way. It’s eminently accessible music, full of tiny “eureka” moments of subtle bliss, deft touches, and minuscule finishes so that even a two-minute sketch could feel like a whole world waiting to be dissected.”

The following video by Theo Jemison shows Teebs painting his artwork:

Scuba DJ-Kicks Compilation

Hotflush boss Scuba delivers a weighty addition to !K7’s fabled DJ-Kicks series: With 32 tracks of techno/house/dubstep it’s a fantastic package, boasting exclusives by Sigha, Addison Groove, Jon Convex, Boddika and Scuba himself, and it’s also a great mix, actually slowing down instead of speeding up during its course. Essential.
