Warmer: Delorean.
July 31st, 2010Photo courtesy of Nacho Algre I’ve been writing a lot of overdue posts over the past week but this one is the most overdue of all. Delorean are a group that I have been following for a good while now that I have been most remiss in not mentioning before. Coming from Barcelona, the group [...]
Mosca Fabriclive Mix.
July 30th, 2010In the run up to his appearance as a part of the Club Autonomic takeover of Fabic room 3 next Friday, Mosca has put together an 80 minute mix with enough unreleased and forthcoming material to keep even the most up to date trainspotters guessing. Alongside Mosca on the 6th you can catch Untold and [...]
West-End Girl: Best Coast.
July 30th, 2010Best Coast is Bethany Cosentino from Los Angeles. She loves her cat, Snacks, and makes the kind of guitar pop designed for listening to while chilling with your friends. Her album, Crazy For You came out Monday just gone on Mexican Summer, and its a breezy 30 minutes long, packed with hooks. I haven’t yet [...]
Flowering: Baths.
July 30th, 2010Here at Pipedown we have been following West Coast producer Baths for a while now, showing him some love (and giving away the excellent ‘Hall’ and ‘Maximalist’ too) here. Also, fellow Pipedown member SimonSays used Baths’ ‘Mecha Joy’ as the base of a blend with ‘Heaven’ by rapper Declaime – if you haven’t already grabbed [...]
Eglo Summer Takeover 31/07.
July 29th, 2010The formidable Eglo Records return this Saturday for their Summer Jam in the basement of The Camp. Performances on the night from Eglo regulars Floating Points, Alexander Nut, Funkineven, Fatima and Shuanise as well as a top secret special guest bringing a touch of West Coast magic. You do the maths. As promo for the [...]
Midnight: How To Dress Well.
July 29th, 2010R ‘n’ B jams sung by ghosts. That is how I would best describe the music of Tom Krell a.k.a. How To Dress Well. Coming from Cologne but currently living in Brooklyn, HTDW constructs his songs from subtle instrumentation and layered vocals. The EQ of his tracks are often pushed into uncomfortable territory in the [...]
It’s On: Elite Gymnastics.
July 29th, 2010Confession time. When I first thought of writing this post, I thought Elite Gymnastics were just a minor thing, a group that got lucky with one great track, that track being ‘Is This On Me?’ However, after having now listened to the rest of their output (helpfully all available for free download on their Tumblr), [...]
Well Spent: Games.
July 29th, 2010Games are Dan Lopatin a.k.a. Oneohtrix Point Never and Joel Ford from Tiger City. They make brilliant, late 70s/early 80s-sounding instrumental music that reminds me of the sort of thing that used to soundtrack Playstation racing games. Their particular influences are easy to discover in the 6 mixtapes currently available to listen to on their [...]
Marching Forward: Forest Swords.
July 29th, 2010Like seemingly a lot of my favourite musicians, Forest Swords’ M. Barnes day job is as a graphic designer. However, he has the important advantage over the rest of being British as well as being based in England. Hailing from Liverpool, he makes particularly dubby, atmospheric music that is perfect late-night listening. His influences appear [...]
Kings: SALEM’s King Night.
July 28th, 2010One track that came to my attention during my near 2 month-long blogging hiatus that I simply have to write about despite the huge amount of cover it has already received is SALEM’s ‘King Night’. The title track of the album, the group released it to begin the promotion journey towards the release date of [...]
