VIDEO THRWBCK: Aphex Twin - Come to Daddy
There is no doubt in our minds that director Chris Cunningham is a disturbed individual. However, when you are comparing his visual aesthetic to the auditory styling of Richard D. James a.k.a. Aphex Twin, it's 1. hard to figure which of the two is more mad than genius, and 2. easy to see why they work so well together. “Come to Daddy” epitomizes both those points, merging the IDM-signature we’ve come to associate to James with pelvic-thrusting "children". And, while we think it all makes for a great video, we can't say that it doesn't leave us a bit concerned for all the elderly women of the world.
STREAM: Daedelus - My Beau + Make it So (XXXChange remix)
Daedelus (né Alfred Weisberg-Roberts) is based in LA and makes pop songs lightly sprinkled with IDM bleeps and bloops, as well as samples from vintage recordings from the ‘30s and ‘40s. Amazing, right? We’re streaming two songs by Daedelus today—one being from his brand new album on Ninja Tune, Love to Make Music To, and another being the fantastic remix of his new single “Make it So” by XXXChange. Check it out, especially "My Beau" where Erika Rose covers the Ghost Town DJ's song “My Boo”.

DOWNLOD: Fenin feat. Gorbi - A Try
More ambient dance pop from the SEEN RCRD LBL blog, this time from Berlin based electro mastermind Fenin. Fenin uses ambient, dub, IDM and soul to suck you into his blissed-out world of electronic down-tempos: like Moby and Massive Attack holding hands at the end of the biggest Ibiza comedown of all time. It definitely helps that Been Through, Fenin’s latest LP, comes straight form the roster of German techno heavyweights Shitkatapult Records. Head over to the SEEN blog to check out the video for Fenin's new single “A Try” and a hot download…
