Guest Mix: WINDOW

Very pleased to be able to premiere this mix from Montreal-based producer Window.

Window - Reuptake
Inner City - Inner City Theme
Luke Slater's 7th Plain - The Needs of the Many
Speedy J - Pepper
Dettinger - Blond 1

TORCH

Joel Ford has just dropped a preview of the latest release on his recent-ish Driftless Recordings imprint, in the form of a track from label co-founder Patrick McDermott's North Americans project. "Torch" is seriously deep, blisser drone. Real zoner stuff that strikes a nice balance between smooth spa/lifestyle-derived surface attention and low-end crunch and churn. "Torch" is part of an upcoming North Americans full-length, details of which are forthcoming.

RQ Radio: 08/04/13 - Air Max '97 & Kuhrye-oo

We've had a little show on Brooklyn's Newtown Radio for a couple of months now, and we're now bringing in a regular series of guest DJs. Check out the first one, featuring Melbourne producer Air Max '97 and UNO NYC's Kuhrye-oo, and tune in every second Sunday, 12-2pm EST. More to come...

BLADES

Dick Models' new single for Dracula Horse is all over the place in the best possible way, with twisted funk loops ebbing in and out between scattered digital mulch over the course of its nine-minute long run-time. I previously knew the producer from that great track he did with Teams last year, "Glow Fam", and while that track's blown out, liquid beats are still here, in terms of ambition this is on a whole other tip entirely.

WET TOWELS

Impossibly optimized stuff from James Grant's experimental-adventure-jazz Spelunks pseudonym. Lite-percussion intersects with warbled oddities on "Wet Towels (Cabana Boy Mix)," which features on the Serenely Skeptical EP, out on Crystal Magic on August 15. Also watch out for James Grant's forthcoming tape under the Abstract Mutation moniker, out soon on 1080p.

SIMS HUNK

Window has reworked the Magic Fades track "Sims Hunk" (from their Obsession mixtape) into slick, streamlined, metallic bliss.

DARKNESS IN MY SOUL

Darkened rave nostalgia in the video for the lead cut from IVVVO's Future EP. Some more words I wrote about Future are here.

YOUNG MALE

Dark and sweaty techno vibes on this set from NY producer Young Male, who has justly been getting a bit of attention recently on the back of his excellent live sets and his White Material label, which he runs with DJ Richard. The recording quality on this one's a bit iffy, but you get the idea. [via. Sex Magazine]

Also worth checking out is this interview + podcast with the producer on Juno Plus.

One World 開発

Enjoying the seductive, aqua-fied Powerpoint graphics of this video for Teams' "One World 開発," off the album of the same name. The track takes thing in a clubbier direction than we're used to from the now NYC-based producer too. Stream the whole thing below.

INTERNAL NRG

Enjoying the crystalline club-surfaces in these tracks from Melbourne producer Air Max '97. The Internal NRG EP is cracked club music with deconstructed Nike swooshes and skittering hip-hop beats, not unlike the sparse productions you hear on Night Slugs releases. Name your price downloads available over at the producer's Bandcamp page.

DEEP YOU - MAXMILLION DUNBAR AUSTRALIAN TOUR MIX

Stoked to be getting the first jump on this brand new mix from shimmering house purveyor Maxmillion Dunbar in light of his Australian tour, which kicks off this Saturday. His most recent full-length, House of Woo, which came out on the always on-point RVNG imprint, has been on steady rotation for months now for its spacious, off-kilter brand of classically-informed house. The mix he's put together for Australian blog/promoters Noise In My Head leans heavily on the kind of heady, freeform '90s house his sets are famous for, and is a seriously deep taste of what's in store.

Tour dates:

Sat 15 June – Pelvis x Noise In My Head @ Goodgod Small Club, Sydney (Tickets onsale now at RA)
Fri 21 June – Gilkisons Dance Studio, Perth
Sat 22 June – Bamboo Musik x Noise In My Head @ Mercat X, Melbourne (Tickets onsale now at RA)

Also, take a look at the Aurora Halal directed video for "Loving the Drift":

THE PALE MARE

DYLAN ETTINGER - The Pale Mare from TACHYONS+ on Vimeo.

Dark and slippery synth vibes in this Logan Owlbeemoth directed video for Dylan Ettinger's new track. An appropriately mulched and horror-flick sampling visual palette fleshes out the seriously creepy dread of the tune, which can be found on a split 7" between Ettinger and Goldendust, out on the new DKA imprint, run by the folks behind Featureless Ghost.

BRIGHTER DAYS

Sun Araw touring member Alex Gray's underappreciated Deep Magic project has tended to issue a diverse range of stuff, from murky, underwater techno through to aural-fixated, appropriately deep soundscapes. This new track, from his third full-length, Reflections of Most Forgotten Love, is firmly in the later category -- zoned arpeggios bounce off layers of tape-hiss and low-end crunch, while soft but shambolic percussion periodically makes an appearance.

Reflections of Most Forgotten Love is out June 25 on Australian imprint Preservation.

FIRST TIME

Knoxville, Tennessee's Walsh has a new single out on the reliable and revamped Dracula Horse label. "First Time" is a particularly slick, loop-based filter-house number, and a good sign of what's to come when the producer drops a more substantial release later in the year.

PT SEX

Something else from SFV Acid's upcoming full-length for UNO, which drops on May 28 and reportedly written entirely at Starbucks. "PT Sex" is a short but compelling excursion, glistening with a tech-induced, acid-inflected sheen, at the same time it points to over-caffeinated unease. 

LEO IN CYAN

Seriously cosmic interstitial visions on this new track from Egyptian Sports Network - a duo comprising Spencer Clark (Skaters, Monopoly Child Star Searchers) and Matt Mondanile (Ducktails, Real Estate), and on this track also featuring Mark McGuire. "Leo in Cyan" updates the nu age palette for the age of satellite transmission, and is part of the five-track Interstitial Luxor EP, out soon on New Images Ltd.

ALL ALONE

MP3: Golden Donna - All Alone (Blown Out Spring '13 Mix)

Madison, Wisconsin's Golden Donna has remixed one of his old tracks, which initially saw release for free on bandcamp last year. The track is based around a syrupy sample, which this mix loops in a laconic fashion and punctuates with some nice rapid-fire snare work. Stream below via soundcloud, or we've got a download of the mp3 above.
