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)

Toronto resident disco DJ and producer Cyclist is back again with an epic gospel-house remix of Andrew Clarke’s “Under the Sun.” And while we’re getting caught up with the man, there’s also this mindblowing arpeggiated edit from back in February. You can buy Beam Me Up Edits Vol. 1 here.

Cabaal – In Flux (Math Rosen Dub)

Last time we saw Math Rosen live, he did an improvised set with a reel-to-reel tape looper. It was a fascinating process to watch, and now we’re thrilled to see that he has integrated that into his remix work. We have a deep love of all things Cabaal here, and seeing his stuff redone like this works wonders on our aural palate.

Video: Graze – On Board

Posted on May 21st, by elena in Video

This video pairs the playfully pulsing techno of Graze with black-and-white textured scenes. The duo told XLR8R that this is the song they are the happiest with, and fittingly 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!

Harrison – City Lights

Here’s a new one from Toronto soul/funk sample wizard Harrison. Amazing track, and beautiful skate-focused video directed by Reynard Li, who also directed Maylee Todd’s epochal “Baby’s Got It.”

MP3: The Svens – Upon Arrival

We’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

villaVilla Kang – Touch of Evil

Toronto’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.
