SLOWLY MINUTE<\/strong>\u00a0[JAPAN]
\na constellation and shooting stars<\/strong>\u00a0mp3<\/a>
\nproduced by japanese electronic artist\u00a0nobukazu takemura<\/strong>,\u00a0slowly minute<\/strong>\u00a0might seem like it drifts into territory once occupied by\u00a0air<\/strong>\u00a0and their ilk. thankfully, there’s no “lounge beats” here, this is much more wayward + haphazard and all the more interesting for it. often the beats, the ideas and the instrumentation don’t match – creating what should be a aural disaster, but instead blends together into some beautiful post-rock \/ folktronica. and it’s all the more surprising, as the artist (takahiro chiba from sapparo) is still only 24 years old and making music that\u00a0susumu yakota<\/strong>\u00a0ought to be chasing.
\nEEDL<\/strong>\u00a0[SPAIN]
\ntoo few arguments<\/strong>\u00a0mp3<\/a>
\ni took a track today from a cd just arrived in the post, thanks to\u00a0lackluster<\/strong>\u00a0in finland – a collection of his superb glitch electronica mxs of other people’s work. you can hear some sound samples from the cd (and of course order the thing itself)\u00a0here<\/a>. the track played was originally by the barcelona-based electronica duo,\u00a0eedl<\/strong>\u00a0(pictured) and was called ‘too few arguments (no arguments at all lacklustermx)’. above is a lo-fi mp3 from the band that takes the blueprint laid down by fellas like\u00a0autechre<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0boards of canada<\/strong>\u00a0and adds even more warmth and melody. more band info\u00a0here<\/a>.
\nGOTAN PROJECT\u00a0<\/strong>[FRANCE \/ ARGENTINA]
\nsanta maria<\/strong>\u00a0mp3<\/a>
\nso\u00a0the gotan project<\/strong>\u00a0made it absolutely acceptable to play tango in your own living room, to prance around with your partner on your arm, imagining you were the belles of the dancefloor. maybe you went so far as to put a rose between your teeth … if nothing else,\u00a0the gotan project<\/strong>at least allowed the theory of contemporary international music to travel far and wide. whether or not you followed their musical stylings is another matter. judge for yourself with this cut from their hugely successful album ‘la revancha del tango’. their new mix cd (from which i played a track today) is notable for addition not only the excellent\u00a0calexico<\/strong>\u00a0remix of one of their tracks, but also a mix from the exceptional\u00a0anti-pop consortium<\/strong>\u00a0(the original crew from whence\u00a0beans<\/strong>\u00a0sprang). hearing gotan vs anti-pop’s blend of NY alt.hip hop is a must.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
