MP3: Andy Haas / David Moreno – Oscillator Magenta, Pitch Shift Orange
Oscillator Magenta – Andy Haas / David Moreno
Pitch Shift Orange – Andy Haas / David Moreno
Andy Haas (of Martha and the Muffins!) and David Moreno come to us from another dimension, brandishing trance-inducing woodwind/electronic combinations. Otherworldly. (via Weird Canada)
MP3: DJ Lace – Space Disco
DJ Lace – Space DiscoHardware junkie DJ Lace (Object 28‘s disco-moniker) posted this tune recently and we’re very impressed. Totally spaced-out Italo-disco that’s a few laser sound effects away from being completely out of this world. To infinity and beyond.
MP3: Jay Arner – Midnight on South Granville
Jay Arner – Midnight On South GranvilleJay Arner’s been having a huge year, and his profile just jumped another level with the release of this classic-feeling synthy indie rock single. Boy is officially repped by Pitchfork now! The Fader and Vice are onto him too. It’s the latest from his forthcoming debut self-titled album, coming out on Mint on June 25.
We’re ecstatic to be presenting him at our NXNE showcase in Toronto, coming all the way from Vancouver, along with some other big names, on June 15.
MP3: Akua – Told You So
Akua is sounding the queen of dark electro soul on this new single. Let that evil synth bass stab you. And recall, this excellent video released last week. The One’s Company EP is out June 4!
MP3: Cough Cool – Blue Eyes
MP3: The Svens – Upon Arrival
The Svens – Upon ArrivalWe’re not really sure who The Svens are. We’re not sure if they’re a “they.” Not sure if “they” contain one or more people named “Sven.” Not sure if this song is supposed to end like that. But we’re positive that we love this spazzy electronic punk with blaring sax. And short and sweet suits this track just fine.
MP3: Villa Kang – Touch of Evil
Villa Kang – Touch of EvilToronto’s Villa Kang is a new entity making slinky electronic pop cleverly reminiscent of some of the best pages of MGMT’s playbook. “Touch of Evil” is a track that was released a year ago, but has caught on fire recently, capturing the attention of the blogosphere and we’re happy to join the ranks singing this song’s praises. Be sure to check out the recent When the Future Was Modern, available for free download via Soundcloud.
MP3: Home Alone – Blunts
New Home Alone! Familiar subject matter! We loved the last EP and this first track from the next one, due out May 27th, is excellent. We’re looking forward to hearing more!
MP3: Bongiovanni x Tom Lemann – Untitled (Take 20)
Bongiovanni x Tom Lemann – Untitled ( Take 20 )
Bongiovanni probably didn’t come up with a title for this song, featuring vocals by Tom Lemann, because he was so busy making it woozily hypnotic. Effort well spent, some pretty great stuff!
MP3: Bowjia – Great White Balloon (ft. Emma Aurelia)
Totally into this new discovery from Guelph: Bowjia. “Great White Balloon” is one of the more massive dance jams we’ve heard this year. Super catchy vocal hooks. Apparently there’s a release called Ballooniverse coming? Cool, want to hear it.
