Kobe’s Tofubeats made a mix for the BBC show Diplo And Friends, which you can listen to above! Don’t usually share mixes here, but this one is really good and features so many artists we love around here (Seiho! Avec Avec! Pa’s Lam System! Parkgolf! bo en! So many more!) that it seems like a nice one to drop in on Sunday evening.

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…
One of Trekkie Trax’s strongest attributes is the sheer variety of electronic music they’ve shared with the world.

Stumbled across Kyoto folk-rock four piece Turntable Films and have been charmed by the poppy songs available on their MySpace. In particular take a listen to “Hot Tea After The Lunch” (sounds like it was recorded in someone’s basement, and that’s a good thing) and the sunny bounce of “Won’t Let You Down.”
Still playing catch up on stuff that popped up during our winter vacation. SparkPlugged wrote about Cinema Staff’s “GATE” a couple weeks ago and pretty much summed up whatever I would have written in the first place.
