Yung Image – Where We From (Moonlight Riddim)
April 18th, 2012 by MikeSteyels
Turns out there’s plenty more more gems from Grenadian artists in Brooklyn. Here we’ve got some vocals by Yung Image over Riga‘s Moonlight Riddim. On the free association tip, Yung spin a tale of poor upbringings and goon life with an on-point delivery.
AnnaLove – BRB
April 18th, 2012 by MikeSteyels
New exclusive heat by Austin’s AnnaLove, this one some 808 house at 140 BPM. It’s a stark track built from bare technological parts, glowing brightly on dark basement walls. Unrelenting kicks drive over languid, asymmetrical bass drums; pitched and swung stutters slide under vocal clips exalting how good it all feels; and claps splash robotically in TV fuzz while throwback stabs perforate the background. Anna is an Austin-based member of the Broken Teeth crew. She recently dropped an EP on Freshmore, so pick that up too. (Photo of Rob Seward’s installation, Four Letter Words.)
Anna Love – “BRB” (exclusive!)

Preview Koyote – Blowin’ My Mind
April 17th, 2012 by Mixpak
Koyote’s second EP in the trilogy drops on May 8th on Mixpak, and you can now listen to the preview below. Building on the work of his first release for the label, the EP sees dance music experimentation not rooted in any one tradition but rather an amalgam of styles, all filtered through the lens of true analog weirdness.
Zora Jones – If You Want That
April 17th, 2012 by MikeSteyels
Some exclusive juketronic footwork out of Barcelona today by Zora Jones. It switches between a halftime beat circling the floor stomping and a full time drop into 160 warp speed. Vocals fold onto themselves like time and space, mixing past and present as 808s scale up to the highest stars and embryonic cyborgs gurgle melodically. Try and keep up with this Jones. Zora resides in Barcelona, but her name is Servocratian and means ‘sunrise’. Also, check for her all-Diplomats mixtape. (GIF via b1llionare.)

MikeQ & MikIX The Cat – Vibes EP
April 16th, 2012 by Natasha
When two Mikes from two scenes from two continents collide, you get the Vibes EP, a techno-vogue hybrid. Out on 30th April on MikIX The Cat’s Add Cat records, the EP (though it’s only 2 tracks) was made when the pair met up randomly while MikeQ was on tour in Europe. In their words:
We made one track per day with a bunch of snacks and my cat sleeping on the monitors pissed of not having attention by 2 guys too focused on chopping and cooking samples.

April 13th, 2012 by Mixpak
