“Battenburg Variation” is an ambient electronic track by UK act Uther Moads. This is a tough track to nail down genre-wise. It’s ambient in nature, but certainly uses some clear rhythms and a set tempo to keep the song moving. This is a relaxing track, up until the end,

Beatmusic producer Gold Panda has digitally released a brand new single fro Ghostly International, which will be available physically on July 11th. The dude’s 2010 album Lucky Shiner wasn’t one of my favorites of that year, but there’s still a lotta production chops there I can’t

Electronic music producer Luke Abbott–creator of one of my favorite 2010 albums, Holkham Drones–has a new track out titled “Modern Driveway.” The track’s hypnotic repetition executed by subtle beats and analog synths is to be expected, but the chord progression on this track feels pretty uplifting to
