Autumnal Harvest Post

So I'm getting a little tired of taking in so much music and not being able to get it out fast enough. Because of this I have decided to write a MASSIVE post with tons of stuff in it so i can stay away for a while. There are three categories: Indie, Beats, and Mixes. Look for folders at the end of each section to download everything.


INDIE
Postcards From Italy (Beirut Cover) - Florence and the Machine
Self explanatory. I love florence.

Like The Wheel - Tallest Man On Earth
King Of Spain - Tallest Man On Earth
This guy has literally become one of my favorite artists of all time. These songs have so much soul, so much spirit, so much beauty...

The Blues Run The Game (Jackson C. Frank Cover) - Laura Marling
Another great folk song.. Laura Marling rules.

Cold House - Teen Daze
Chillwave meets the beat scene - lovely, delicate arpeggiated synths and atmosphere. perfect homework music...

Minequest Try 03 - Deadmau5
This is a lot like the above, except its Deadmau5. Essentially a re-edit of Everything You Are, i wish this could go on forever...

Scandal At The Parkade - Owen Pallett
Classic Owen Pallett.. sounds like a string quartet sensibilities meet indie lyrics and vox. So good.

Travel Broadens the Mind - Deerhoof
Very interesting Deerhoof. Based on Congolese street music, this song reminds me of some of the beat music we post - complicated rhythm meets deerhoof's bass heavy/high lyrics sound. loovveeeee

Down By The Water - The Decemberists 
This is going to come out on the Decemberists' forthcoming album in January.. they have this out for free for the price of my email. Enjoy. 

Good Night - Ellul
I don't know anything about this because i found it in a mixtape. However, this is like Owen Pallett + Shitgeto + Teen Daze + awesome. Worth the listen.

South Carolina - Tennis 
Okay, i DO know about these guys. Tennis is a husband-wife duo-turned-trio from colorado. They produce really warm, happy, vintage pop-inspired songs that make you just want to dance around with someone you love. Here is a collection of a few of their songs: Tennis.zip
Their album, Cape Dory, comes out January 18.

Gold Panda - Parents
For El Langosta, because he likes Gold Panda.

BEATS
Mmmm. Beats. This is a mostly Flying Lotus-centered post, but there are some others in here too.

KeepItGoing (feat UGod) - Blu
Flying Lotus produced this track, and it shows. Again, beat producers getting back to their rap track roots... mmm.

Do The Astral Plane (Them Jeans House Remix) - Flying Lotus
THIS IS AWESOME! very well crafted!

Swimming - Mike Bigga
This is another FlyLo produced rap song.. but, do you know that track from anywhere? OH YEAH, THATS CAMERA DAY FROM Pattern + Grid World. What a concept!

Rip - Dorian Concept
..speaking of concepts, here is an awesome tease that got ripped off of dorian concept's myspace. smack in the face, those synths are.
Love Lockdown (Flying Lotus Remix) - Kanye West
Old Flying Lotus. Beat + Autotune + reverb = awesome

PieFace (My Dry Wet Mess Remix) - Flying Lotus
Notable and interesting.

When Planets Explode Ladders

I posted a couple Dorian Concept tracks a while ago. Yeah. That was before I listened to THIS entire EP. THIS IS FUCKING AWESOME SHIT. THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN PLANETS EXPLODE, I GUESS. Dorian Concept is a young beatmaker from Austria... and i love him. His sensibilities extend deep into his music and he makes prrretttty complicated stuff. Take the first track for example, Clap Beep Boom - he fucks with time but keeps the 16th note constant... first switching from sixteenths to triplets to pentuplets to sextuplets... but that one pulse stays the same. The rest of the ep continues this very clever use of Dorian's musical resources. Give this a good good listen. (Check the image for a link).


ALSO: THIS FINALLY DROPPED, after much much anticipation. Love this track to death.
Sofi Needs A Ladder (Original Mix) - Deadmau5


Expect more soon

indie new beatsz

dorian concept, featured below

Even after laying all that good shit on you last night, i still have more for you! The music scene never stops moving forward, so why should we? Most of this post is a bunch of indie beat-type stuff, including the up and comer Dorian Concept (see photo). He is actually currently touring with Flying Lotus (aka instant respect), and is much more than a pad-mashing producer. He dabbles in Jazz and in other projects, showing that he has the perspective on his music that i ascribed to Teebs as well. Besides Dorian, though, i have some more Baths and Teebs for you... and some Mau5. We stick to the favorites here, you know. If you want all the files, just head over to their folder (not a zip) here.

Trilingual Dance Sexperience - Dorian Concept

This reminds me a lot of eLan + Flying Lotus. Basically, a sweet sawtooth synth line thats had the shit syncopated out of it, with a catchy beat underneath it that is fun to dance to. Pretty cool. Then, at the second iteration of the theme, he adds a rumbling, heavy bass on the bottom to make the room vibrate as you dance. 

Nightmare (Dorian Concept Remix) - Phat Kat and Guilty Simpson

I've never heard this song before in my life, but it really makes me wish that ALL mass-produced rap could sound this way. considering that the Beat movement essentially birthed itself from rap tracks, now what makes a rap remix awesome is that a beat producer redid the track. 

Impulse (Teebs' Neck Feathers Remix) - Gaslamp Killer and Daedelus

Oh look, its the trio thats touring RIGHT NOW! all in ONE TRACK! Anyway, I wanted to post this with the stuff from Ardour (here), but thought that might be a BIT too much Teebs. I like this track, its very simple but still has Teebs' masterful counterpoint of lilt and thump that attract me to him. 

Pop Song - Baths

Baths put this out today, and Langosta linked me to it... Mr. Wisenfeld dismissed it as a sketchy thing he threw together in his apartment, but its still definitely Baths and therefore worth having. Its very relaxed, and somewhat reminds me of Nordic Laurel and some of his other projects (Post-Foetus and Geotic). 

In Ruins (Baths Remix) - Fol Chen

I have no idea who Fol Chen is, but he released this Baths remix for free with his In Ruins EP. Its essentially Baths + echo-y, romantic lyrics. Again, Baths, therefore worth having and enjoying.

BONUS: 

This is extremely entertaining for anyone that loves Deamau5 or knows his music well. AKA everyone here at this blog, don't know about you guys... also, really hoping he didn't mix this live. I would be impressed beyond belief.

Radio1 miniMix - Deadmau5
