Southern Shores // Malabar MP3

via CASCINE Southern Shores - Malabar by CASCINE

Julia LaDense // Destinations LP

 This is shoegaze space-rock of the highest order, picking up where Darla and Kranky  left off. Reminds me of Wendy and Carl. From the Revolving Door Records label. A great album to say the least. Far fuckin out!

Ghibli // Pythia LP

 This is from 2011 but I just found it. "Societal Finches" is the track to begin with, the original, and then scroll down to tracks 14, 15 and 16 for the ultra plus. Thomas Michael is Ghibli.

Endamame // Bay of Plenty EP

Beautiful EP, turns out to be all good stuff. The drums in the Flash Forest remix deserve special mention.

Box of Wolves // Illusions LP

DUDES // SUMMER VACATION

Multi-talented internet culture impresario Ryan Solomon has released his latest recording project to Bandcamp as a free download, and Summer Vacation lives up to its' name, delivering his own brand of swagged-out rock, celebrating the timeless pleasures of weed, girls and summer fun. Solomon makes his own whacky and fun videos such as ( this and this ) and he has a side project called Nature's Kid, which is beautiful sample based instrumental music. Listen / download below.

Jahnne // And I Would Again For You

The lights' gift changes every hour. Patterns emerge only to dissipate and fade. The breeze animates the leaves and the light dances. My eye is a POV camera. This is my daytime forest soundtrack. From Australia via Flash Forest. And I Would Again For You by Jahnne

High Park // Remix of Drake's "Doing It Wrong"

                                                                Amazing remix.                                               

Mr. Lies // I Walk feat. Jessica Blanchett

SLOW MAGIC & BEAT CULTURE // Once

I feel like pointing out that Giraffage, Blackbird Blackbird, and Beat Culture are all Asian type dudes from California, and I love them all. Slow Magic wears a mask so I have no idea what he looks like, but I love him too. Slow Magic & Beat Culture - Once by Beat Culture

Lasers // Lasers EP

 Internet label Bad Panda really 'gets it'. Not only do they have their finger firmly on the pulse of the DIY / bedroom music underground (IE chillwave!), but they have seen the future clearly as expressed in their manifesto, recommended reading. Their latest release, the self-titled LASERS EP is a slice of electronic heaven in the form of four original songs and seven first-class remixes. With artists like ruddyp and Sun Glitters contributing, I was assured of some winning remixes, but the original tracks struck me with their quality and diversity. The titles of the tracks reflect a theme of West European capitols: Amsterdam, Paris, Berlin and Porto (in Portugal). The remixes by previously unknown (to me anyway) artists like Elite Athletes, Stereoboy, Sam a la Bamalot and Daily Misconceptions are all winners This is one I play all the way through, some seriously beautiful music.

LASERS is a Portugese artist currently based in the Netherlands. Asked by Bad Panda about Creative Commons he said: “I think CC is the way every music should be released. For me, music is to be listened and shared at no cost. If you want to make some money out of your music, just play live and charge for that instead.” Fuck yeah!

ViLLΛGE // Nothing Between Us MP3

ViLLΛGE is a Romanian electronic artist. He put this kickin gem on his Soundcloud last week, and I think it's the track of the month for sure. Check out "glo-step". VILLΛGE - Nothing Between Us (Re-Edit) by ViLLΛGE

Moon Pollen // Shine

The name of this was a dead give-away. How could something named “Moon Pollen Shine” be anything but perfect summertime chillwave? This beautiful track, which will fit nicely on trip-to-the-beach mixtapes, is a fully developed song with the rare feature of a brief but sublime guitar solo. It will have you feeling like it’s summer 2010 again. Moon Pollen is a shoegaze / dreamwave singer and songwriter based in Argentina who has been posting to Soundcloud for six months or so but this is the first track he’s made available for download. A debut worth waiting for. Moon Pollen - Shine (Radio edit) by Moon Pollen

a-robb // twotwotwo MP3

a-robb is the recording project of Andrew Robb, currently living in Wyoming, which just goes to show how one can be geographically isolated, yet totally wired. He’s a prolific Soundcloud uploader who’s definitely been growing as an artist. Last week he dropped his “Outta There” EP on his Bandcamp, a five track set, and it’s well worth listening to. My fave is probably “Feel Better”, but the tracks are all distinct and interesting, non-conformist, slightly melancholic glow-fi. Then this week he’s posted a pulsating dreamer that is 7+ minutes of pure blissful beauty to Soundcloud, called "twotwotwo". “Dreamscaping” is an apt description left by someone on the SC message board. With the heat beginning to build across the continent, this is exactly the kind of chillwave I'm going to need to stay cool. There’s no download on the SC post but here’s a link to the MP3. twotwotwo by a-robb
