Nagoya’s House Of Tapes has been pretty busy in 2017, thus far. He’s established Sleep Jam Records, put out a tour-only album and prepping a release with his other project Swamp Sounds. Yet he still drops songs on to SoundCloud under the House Of Tapes name, such as the fluttery “Rosemary,” which is a “limited…
Sakanaction, who made this site’s second favorite album of 2011, have a new single and video (above) out now called “Yoru No Odoriko.” The song finds the group continuing to play around with the dance-friendly-verse-explosive-chorus structure they’ve been exploring for a while now, although the addition of female backing vocals is a great sounding touch….
Producer Nyankobrq has created tracks both hyperactive and a bit slower in pace, but latest creation “Märchen” has it both ways. It’s, for the most part, a pretty laid back, full of cheery synth lines and a skip-worthy beat. Only a few gravity-twisting electronic touches disrupt the sunny day vibes — until Nyankobrq allows a…
Electro-trio Nuxx, a few months fresh from releasing their debut full-length Sound Ache, have two new snippets up on their MySpace. Both songs find the band playing to their strengths, making floor-filling dance complete with absolutely behemoth choruses. “Ring Of Pop” hints at slightly rougher places, but the sample of “Sweet Dreams” is the real…
東京のプロデューサーTaquwamiは様々な挑戦をしてきました。激しい曲や繊細な曲、サンプル重視の曲や貝殻を耳に当てているような幻想的な曲、Occult Youの活動を除いても、彼の手がけた楽曲は大変バラエティーに富んでいます。新曲”All My Life”ではそんなTaquwamiの得意なサンプリングやエレクトロ・サウンドが輝きつつも、新たな挑戦も随所にちりばめられています。今年リリースされたBlurrywonder EPはR&BをTaquwami流のシンセの渦に巻き込んだようなサウンドだったのですが、今回の”All My Life”はより正統派なR&Bに。曲の前半を埋め尽くしているミニマルなビートはまるでUsherの”Climax”のよう。空気感に影響されてなのか、ボーカルサンプルはいつもよりもつぶやきがちで暗い印象に聴こえてきます。後半ではいつものスタイルが展開されていくのですが、”All My Life”はTaquwamiの新たな一面を確かに確認できる曲になっています。試聴はこちらから。
There are so many facts…so many juicy facts…to go over when talking about Flau artist Cuushe it’s best to just start listing them. So…Cuushe released an album three years ago, and hasn’t put out anything since. Cuushe has a new EP out on June 20 called Girl You Know That I Am Here But The…
