Better Off
Photo
A few days ago New Jersey’s True Key (Matt Pietrucha) released his new single ‘Counterpoints’ with b-side ‘Better Off’. The latter is one of my favourite songs I’ve heard this year. ‘Better Off’ is an impressive blend of glitchy beats and chilled electronic atmospherics, incredible work! The talented musician has an array of tracks waiting for you over at his soundcloud...
After Life

North Carolina’s Top Girls (Evan Adams) just dropped his stellar new After Life EP via Speaker Snacks Recs. The impressive five-track EP blends smooth electronics and mellow vocal melodies that border on the R&B. Grab the mightily impressive After Life EP here. Top Girls had a pretty prolific 2011 and this trend looks set to continue this year with this superb early...
Colours In Japan

Last month Colours In Japan dropped a sublime debut Prefectures EP. The bedroom project has little internet presence as far as I’m aware but this four-track EP is seriously impressive and hopefully a sign of things to come. Prefectures is comprised of downtempo beats coupled with slick production that boarders on the experimental. Grab the impressive four-track EP...
Electronic Beginnings

A few days ago LA-based Snow Crime released his/her/their debut track ‘Beginnings’. A highly impressive debut which incorporates wonderfully smooth electronics and lush piano keys that evoke a nostalgia-driven atmosphere. Grab the mighty ‘Beginnings’ here. Hopefully this is the first of many tracks from Snow Crime. Check out the goodness of ‘Beginnings‘ above.

The sublime four-track EP was inspired by Henrik’s last class trip where he went to the Toscana, Italy and also his trip with friends to Amsterdam. The EP includes two excellent remixes of the title track by Milkbleeder and Daniel Drüsendieb. Check out the stunning artwork for the...
Tokyo Dreamer

Last night the supremely talented Beat Culture (Sunik Kim) released his stunning new album Tokyo Dreamer. Toward the tail end of last year we got a flavour of what the album would be like with tracks like Midori, Before You Go and If Only all surfacing. I think it’s fair to say Tokyo Dreamer has lived up to expectation and some. The ten-track album flows effortlessly...
Silky Flow

Another incredible track from the Beat Garden Compilation is ‘Gris’ by Denmark’s mightily talented Zack Christ. Although the new track is a bit on the short side it still packs a punch with its chilled vibe and slick production. Grab the compilation here. Give the impressive ‘Gris‘ a spin above.
