New Erik Luebs: “Cycle 2.6 / June”

ByPatrick St. Michel

Erik Luebs (formerly Magical Mistakes) has kept up with his Cycle project, and the results have been solid — I’m a particular fan of Cycle 2.4 / April — but have also kind of just slipped by the ol’ blogging schedule. Let’s change that with this installment, focused on the song “Wavering.” Luebs finds a balance between pounding and lightheaded, the beat smacking away while electronics flutter around. It makes for a nice tension, one which Luebs has been exploring for a bit now. Get it here, or listen below.

  • New CRZKNY: Seventeen Lost Souls UPDATED

    ByPatrick St. Michel

    広島の若きフットワーク・アーティストCRZKNYは昨年、脱原発のメッセージが込められたサンプルを駆使したEPを２つリリースしました。でもあくまでアーティストなので、今回の”Seventeen Lost Souls”はそのようなコンセプトからは離れた、映画や音楽からのサンプルを使ったタイトルの無い17曲になっています。マドンナの”Like A Prayer”をサンプリングした”#5″や日本のテレビ番組のサンプルを散りばめた”#15″など、彼の今までのトラックとは違った軽快さが気持ちいいです。”#10″ではすぐに元ネタのわかるサンプルを聴く事が出来る楽しいトラックなのでオススメですよ。 UPDATE: Well, turns out Seventeen Lost Souls ISN’T online any longer. Bummer. But CRZKNY did upload a new song to celebrate 2013 called “Tornado Alley” which would have fit in lovely on that album. Listen to it…and download it…here.
