    Right not there’s a recurring trend in beat production that involves employing loads of amtmospheric effects, delicate samples, and moody melodies and chord progressions. Dude’s like Clams Casino are certainly at the forefront of this up-and-coming style, and thanks to Tri Angle Records, music like this kinda has

    Songwriter and producer Matthew Dear now has his latest full-length effort, Beams, available for a complete stream via the widget above. Based on my first impressions of this thing, Dear has really outdone himself. No, really. 2010’s Black City was pretty well-received, but he’s improved his approach a

  • On this debut full-length Eprom explores some interesting musical ideas, bringing together the sounds of glitch hop, future garage, dubstep, and more.

    Today marks the release of Four Tet’s new record Pink, a compilation of sorts that collects all of the 12″ singles that he has released recently for his Text imprint. The album also includes two new tracks, both of which hover around 10 minutes in length and both of

    Heat by Traxman Footwork legend Traxman–who dropped a pretty long and definitive album for the genre earlier this year–has a new, free EP out titled Heat. His juke-y and jittery style is strung out across five tracks, and a few of them feature some really interesting samples. It’

    Producer, songwriter, and singer Matthew Dear drops another track from his forthcoming album, Beams. While the songs features the dude’s usual deep, strange delivery, it’s got a really spunky vibe coming from the instrumentation that’s a nice change of pace for Dear. There’s a fantastically chilly

    Some new visuals for the new Black Moth Super Rainbow single, “Windshield Smasher.” This is definitely one of the more entertaining videos I’ve seen this year, and that’s mostly due to its absurdity. A unsuspecting couple runs up on a group of BMSR mask-wearing baddies who torture them
