Download: LP & EP by Iceland Artist CELISTA (2010-2012)
Idek how I found this--just stumbled upon it somehow, and was absolutely delighted. These two releases from Iceland's Celista harken back to the golden age of chillwave and the sound of 2010 . Check out "Brooklyn", for starters, and the timely "Warm Autumn", or just trust me and download both zip folders from Mediafire at the links.

Track: HOWLINGS Remix of Crystal Castle "Transgender"
HOWLINGS turns the dreamy "Transgender" by Crystal Castles into a glowing dubstep track, best heard on a real sound-system. This is a track that needs to be felt, as in 'feel-the-bass', to be fully appreciated. The San Francisco-based producer has many interesting, downloadable tracks on his Soundcloud, and two excellent EPs free on Bandcamp.

Album: Desire by Spazzkid
"I really wanted Desire to have an eclectic sound to reflect the different sounds I’ve been listening to while recording the album. In particular, I found Bibio’s 2011 album, Mind Bokeh an inspiration in terms of eclecticism and wanted to achieve that same level of variety. I also found myself taking inspiration from a lot of my peers on soundcloud who make beats, post-dubstep, chillwave and techno tracks. I knew I wanted my sound to be very “electronic” but I also made it a point to sound warm, organic and imperfect... I had always admired high production sounds but I also wanted the intimacy of a bedroom-produced album," so says Mark Redito, the man behind Spazzkid.
He's been making beats and remixes since 2004, and it really shows. It definitely feels warm and organic and bedroom-intimate. Desire is available as a free digital download, via the fine folks at Keats Collective , and as a cassette tape from Purrtapes.

Download: The Bilinda Butchers "Careless Teens" (Ghost Switch remix)
Ghost Switch is a dude named Jose, of Argentina. If you're remixing, the most important thing is to start with a great song, which this most certainly is. The remix slows down the track slightly and accentuates and extends the glo-fi effect latent in the original making it even dreamier, if that's possible. The song is a 2011 dream pop beauty, which you can check out here.

RAJA // WITCH LP
My favorite album of the summer is a record released in
November 2011?? Yes it is. the volume of new music flowing from the internet in the past two
years
is so great that there’s no shame in having overlooked something,. The real shame would be to bypass promoting such a wonderful record
simply because it’s eight months old, because it’s still ahead of its’ time.
Raja’s WITCH is a veritable encyclopedia of beats and processing effects, drawing on every current in contemporary internet music – witch-wave-trap-hop- dream-step, if you will, but essentially unclassifiable. Bits of movie dialog, familiar hip-hop samples, droning witchy organs are combined with uninhibited invention. Moody dark witch vibes alternate with beautiful chillwave glo-fi swells. The album is filled with startlingly original fresh beats. WITCH is like what J Dilla might have recorded had he met with glo-fi; sortofa DONUTS 2011 or GLO-NUTS.

There’s nothing lo-fi about this, the sound is terrific at
high volume. The diversity of the material is striking, and the invention is sustained over the thirty tracks. The album (in spite of the 'mixtape' label) succeeds beyond its' own evident ambition, and marks the emergence of RAJA as a major talent. Listen to WITCH below, and you can download a zip of the LP here.
WITCH is one third of a Magnum Opus by Raja, The October Series. RED and COLOR are the other parts, which I haven't even opened. They released 77 songs on one day! No wonder it's taken a few months to diffuse...all are available from Astro Nautico.
He released Remixes 2012
in April, a collection of bootleg remixes / mash-ups, which is still available via Astro Nautico, go here

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.
