New Amunoa: “Smmr”
ByPatrick St. Michel August 24, 2017

Producer Amunoa excels at turning small moments into anthems. “Smmr” is poised as, well, a summer jam from the frantic artist, featuring a warm disco vibe and some sweltering synth work. The real hook of “Smmr” is the vocal snippet rippling throughout — it sounds like it was recorded through a talk box, but rather…

New Cherryboy Function: “Gauche Experience”
ByPatrick St. Michel October 7, 2014

It has been awhile since dance producer Cherryboy Function’s Suggested Function #3 EP came out, and its floor-centric whirl climbed into our hearts (and this blog’s top-20 of 2010 list). The wait for #3 seems worth it, and here’s the first widely available track from Cherryboy’s latest. Like a lot of the highlights from his…

Poppin’ Off On A Friday Night: New Sugar’s Campaign, Tempura Kidz And Shiggy Jr.
ByPatrick St. Michel August 5, 2016

But that’s the joy of doing this, hearing an artist like Mom deliver something like Baby Like A…

New House Of Tapes: “Strange Mercury”
ByPatrick St. Michel December 8, 2014

OK, now this is more like the House Of Tapes I remember. The Nagoya producer recently released a short EP that found him moving towards more vaporous, beat-removed sounds and it sounded like a welcome diversion from his usual suffocating bang-bang. “Strange Mercury” returns to that, though, and is strong reminder that House Of Tapes…

New Moscow Club: “Daisy Miller Pt. 2”
ByPatrick St. Michel August 7, 2011

Less of a sequel and rather more of the same thing shot at a different angle and on more blockbuster-friendly film, Moscow Club’s “Daisy Miller Pt. 2” emerges from the ether of “Pt. 1” no longer in a dream state but ready to get stuff done. The tempo quickens, the guitars get the haze scraped…
