(DOSE) // Let Me Be MP3

(DOSE) - <3 it's his picture. I usually use artist provided artwork unless it's unattractive. I am always interested in the visual component of these releases, and consider the track and image together as a virtual package. Dose is Jeremy R. of Columbus, presumably Ohio. Let Me Be by (Dose)

☼ӾƔLѲǃĐ☼ // XYLOID

What is #seapunk? It’s a new meme within sphere of DIY / internet music (chillwave). A March 4 article in the New York Times (well worth reading) describes it thus: “Sprouting from the digital petri dish of social networking, seapunk is a whimsical style that mashes together cartoonish aquatic themes, rave culture and a nostalgia for ’90s Internet imagery.” Oh, now I know: it’s that. #seapunk draws on house, garage and drum & bass, but there’s not a great stylistic continuity, at least not musically. The visual motifs of aquatic life, dolphins, pyramids and generally all things wet help to identify the micro-genre. Whatever it is, there is a real vitality to it, as proved by these tracks. Xyloid is an 18 year old electronic music producer from San Antonio, Texas. Non-conformist and totally brilliant, fresh af: this stuff doesn’t sound like anything else happening now. It’s a welcome break from too damn much dubstep. His Soundcloud is full of free downloads of music that's a lot better than that many artists are charging for. My favorite is "Knee Deep", but all of the tracks are great.

Latest tracks by ☼ӾƔLѲǃĐ☼

PURP IN DA DRANK // XXYYXX & GRANT

This 16 year-old producer from Orlando has lit up the internet with his collab with Giraffage, “Even Though”. His latest post on Bandcamp is a free download (unlike the Giraffage tune, which is decidedly not-free), a take on Waka Flocka Flame’s “Hard in the Paint”. This one’s all about the beat, spare but definitely poppin’. Another Orlando producer, GRANT has a different take on the same tune, keeping more of the lyrics (and absurdity) of the original. Both tracks exhibit the ‘street’ sensibility of TRAP House – a new micro-genre. There’s an awareness of the absurdity – that’s part of its’ appeal. Listen / download below.

SizzleBird // Chillstep

The SizzleBird has landed! It seems like only a few months since this new London based electronic music artist was sending me unsolicited tracks of some fairly standard drum & bass tracks, but they showed promise. He’s now mastered his game and with these new tracks can truly be said ‘to have arrived’. Both of these tracks define the sound of today’s chillstep: the marriage of chillwave and dubstep. Dude is a classically trained violinist with years of serious music study at London schools. That might explain his very quick journey from obscurity to hotness. He also inexplicably calls himself Ot Moruno Bird. SizzleBird is a prolific Soundcloud post-er with many free downloads. His latest EP is Lady of the Lake.
