Wired
by I Break Horses

"Stockholm based Maria Lindén who records under the name of I Break Horses most certainly has both feet firmly planted in the shoegaze club – not only an artist in her own right, she’s also a longterm member of Blackstrap. Undoubtedly named after the Smog classic, I Break Horses couldn’t be further distanced from the morose folk laments of Bill Callahan and co."

Part Of The Game
by Airbird

"Vamping chords on a piano instantly brings Elton John's smash finger jubilee to mind, however, in the case of Airbird's "Part of the Game," while the powerful, yet minimal piano riff pushes the track along, its the lean'd on vox that truly sets the tone."

Suppress Your Feelings
by Mock & Toof

"Tuning Echoes, released on their own Tiny Sticks label, proves there’s more to this pair than the ability to turn up the dance knob on someone else’s jam. The album –and the gloriously sing–songy “Farewell to Wendo” in particular– is a testament to strengthening one’s own craft through strengthening others."

See Spaces (Dreamtrak Diamond)
by Teeth

"If there is any hope for bloghouse to be the vogue sound again then it all lies with Teeth. Finally, a natural, much welcomed evolution from the stale beats and distorted synth lines that have been clogging the Internet for the past couple years."

Self Control (Young Empires remix)
by Sunday Girl

"The record promises to be a compelling mix of alt-pop electronica that is introduced by her cover of '80s italo disco classic "Self Control" made famous by Laura Branigan. Sunday Girl gives the song a angsty twist of her own with its mesmerizing, almost eerie, electronic soundscape and squelchy acid noises."

I Need Air
by Magnetic Man

"I’m intrigued by the recent juxtaposition of pop and dubstep; smooth vocals gliding over aggressive basslines and attractive synth work. Skream and Benga are two producers maintaining top40 status with this type of music. They collectively produced ‘I Need Air’ and Benga is credited as producer for ‘Katy On A Mission’. Good stuff. I wonder if it will ever hit the mainstream in the states."

Against The Wall (Demo)
by Young Empires

"My boys Young Empires are back with a new demo, and my god, does it hit hard. It’s called “Against The Wall”, and it’s dance rock perfection. With a raging bassline and synths that scream 80s disco, this one deserves to be played at every party and club. The chorus echoes Friendly Fires, which is certainly a compliment. These guys are out of control with good tunes. If you missed “Rain Of Gold” or “Glory Of The Night” you better catch up. Keep in mind that these are only their demos. Their potential is mind-blowing."

In Ruins (Baths remix)
by Fol Chen

"Appearing on the free Fol Chen In Ruins EP, this Baths remix has put the Anticon-released album Cerulean at the top of my listening list for this week. Will Wiesenfeld is a producer from LA steeped in the same Brainfeeder scene that Flying Lotus and Daedelus are a part of."

If You Return (ft. Little Dragon)
by Maximum Balloon

"Como les anunciamos hace algunas semanas atrás, Dave Sitek – productor y miembro de TV On The Radio – se prepara para lanzar su primer disco en solitario bajo el alias de Maximum Balloon. En dicha ocasión, les mostramos el vídeo que sirvió para promocionar el primer single (“Tiger”) pero, para ser sinceros, a nadie le importó mucho: todos le dieron más atención más al bailecito de Daisy Lowe que a la canción en sí.En castigo, la presentación del nuevo single de Maximum Balloon – “If You Return”, con la participación de Little Dragon - no incluirá mujeres sexys semidesnudas bailando. Lo sentimos.

English Translation:

As I announced a few weeks ago, Dave Sitek - producer and member of TV On The Radio - is preparing to launch his first solo album under the alias of Maximum Balloon. On that occasion, we showed the video that served to promote the first single "Tiger" but, frankly, nobody cared much: More attention was given to the seductive dance of Daisy Lowe than the song itself. As punishment, the presentation of the new Maximum Balloon single "If You Return", with the participation of Little Dragon does not include half naked women dancing sexy. Sorry"

Zorbing
by Stornoway

"Their brand of indie-folk has been likened to Belle & Sebastian, Mystery Jets, and XTC amongst others, with their sound being called “gently powerful yet forlorn, their melodies imbued with a melancholy essence.” Essentially, Stornoway combines elements of American bluegrass with those all too familiar British pop melodies."

Sail It Slow (ft. Cults)
by Guards

"Cults put a link to Guard’s EP on their twitter with a note saying they’d contributed to one of the tracks. Given my recent love of Cults, that’s a pretty quick way to get me interested. Turns out, though, that Guards are good enough to stand on their own legs. “Sail it Slow” is like a slower, doomier version of that Jaill album from Sub Pop that I’ve been enjoying so much. It’s a slow, pulsatingly dark track that manages to have a great melody. Love it."

Feel
by Brothertiger

"Synth arrays cascade into pulsing drums and dreamy sporadic guitar strums. Building up to the chilled out and airy vocals, it is definitely reminiscent of Spain’s new golden boys of dance Delorean. Chilled out dance seems to be the ‘in thing’ at the moment, but Brothertiger ushers in a different level of quality – something that seems as genuine as it does substantial."
