STREAM: Nightmares On Wax - Da Feelin'
The last bit we heard from Ibiza-based trip-hop producer George Evelyn, bka Nightmares On Wax, he was melting our minds with his dusty downtempo jam "Hear In Colour," taken from his recent Warp album Thought So... In support of the release, Evelyn will be heading stateside for the first time ever this January, bringing his "soundsystem set featuring vocalists and players" to coasts both left and right with a few stops in between. Warp shot over another track from the album in anticipation of the dates, a droney funk burner called "Da Feelin" that's packing some well chosen Naughty By Nature samples. Stream that below and grab the full itinerary for Nightmare On Wax's inaugural American tour after the links.

EXCLUSIVE NEW DOWNLOAD: Carmen Rizzo - All Is Forgiven feat. Kate Havnevik (Charlie Cooper Of Telefon Tel Aviv Remix)
Carmen Rizzo and Charlie Cooper of Telefon Tel Aviv know their way around a studio. Rizzo is an well-credited engineer while Cooper’s group Telefon Tel Aviv is probably the first act to earn the Big Easy some EDM love. But even knowing how well-versed in knob-twiddling and button-pushing these guys are, all I can think about when listening to this song is the erratic snare drum. It's popping and bursting all around this track like a child blowing bubbles in his Cherry Coke, that thin 909 hit we know so well hopped up on caffeine and trying to swim its way through the thick masses of synthesizers and echo. It’s some enthralling stuff, and keeps the six-minute plus remix from locking into a holding pattern and fading into the back of your consciousness. I wonder if you try and pop popcorn to this thing it’ll enter a whole new dimension.

EXCLUSIVE NEW DOWNLOAD: The Bug - Flying

Tags: Samuel Duke, dub, electronic, reggae, dancehall, downtempo
London producer The Bug (born Kevin Martin and fka GOD and Techno Animal) makes trippy, rotund bass tracks, songs that bend and sway like the late DJ Screw making dubstep beats. His new album London Zoo is a bruising headphone masterpiece, flipping from high-energy dancehall bombs to slower sample-heavy jams that sound like the soundtrack to a slo-mo shootout scene in a neo-noir flick. Today we have “Flying” an EXCLUSIVE unreleased track that wears its dub on its sleeve—sampled downtempo hits echoing around and an tenuous but optimistic reggae vocal (“My music makes people smile”). I don't know about smiling, but there is some serious head-nodding going on here right now. And while The Bug’s tunes might find acceptance amongst the Rizzla-rolling youths of Brixton, this is still music for everyone, even those without a hoodie in the closet.
