Matthew Dear pulls together yet another moody dance tune with the first single to drop from his forthcoming album, Beams. “Her Fantasy” brings a sweet beat, bubbling arpeggios, and Matthew’s unsettling dead pan vocal. Look for this new album on August 27th via Ghostly International.

A track from the new pay-whatever-you’d-like-to-own Iguanadon album, Thunder Village. It’s titled “Dream Melter,” and what really grabbed by attention about the track is how its beat is edited with some abrupt stutters from time to time.

UK music producer SBTRKT spontaneously shares some new sounds as he’s getting back into the studio to get some new material together. This guy came out with one of my favorite albums of last year, so, of course, I’m excited to hear what he’ll come up with

I first heard the band though a recommendation by Anamanaguchi, and I’m happy to hear some similarities–especially on the track “Wayfinder,” which has some spacey, 8-bit melodies. Stream this new EP in its

A quirky piece of electronic dance music from UK producer Fantastic Mr Fox. While “Speak Nuh” has a nice “boom, boom” rhythm, there are plenty of clicks and “clacks” to add some high-end–and some personality. The building claps toward the end are pretty nice touch, and the moody synth

“Double Take” is a dark, funky, and grimy track from UK electronic music producer Girl Unit. It comes from his latest EP Club Rez, which is the followup to 2010’s Wut. The track hits hard, and warrants some serious finger-snapping. Almost as much as that new TNGHT track, but
