New Carpainter: “Heat Up”

Datafruits, an online radio station and a label, has a new compilation out featuring several good electronic artists worth your time. You can get that compilation by clicking the photo above. Still, the name that jumped out at me was Japanese beatmaker Carpainter, responsible for one of the year’s best EPs (Ryan Hemsworth approved!) in Double Rainbow. His contribution, “Heat Up,” is a rollicking 2-step number pulsing with electricity. The beat is fast-paced and joined by various electronic additions, though the best sound here might be the vocal sample going “don’t take too long to heat up,” which undergoes various pitch shifts in Carpainter’s hands. It’s a dizzying little track, which you can hear below.
