Moog's Upcoming Sub37 Synth Detailed in New 20-Minute Video Posted: 23 Jan 2014 12:02 PM PST Amidst the swell of continuing NAMM developments, a new video has surfaced detailing the features of the Sub37, Moog's new "paraphonic analog synthesizer" which is expected to see a release later this year. read more

Preview Fort Romeau's Forthcoming 'Her Dream' EP Posted: 23 Jan 2014 11:38 AM PST London house specialist Fort Romeau (an artist more recently associated with the venerable Ghostly label) has announced that he'll soon release a new EP via Frankfurt's Live at Robert Johnson imprint in March. read more

Video Premiere: Presk "Saluki" Posted: 23 Jan 2014 11:13 AM PST The forthcoming Saluki EP from Dutch DJ/producer Presk has been on our radar since before the holidays last year, but ahead of its release via Doc Daneeka's Ten Thousand Yen label next week, we've been treated to a premiere of the simple DIY video for that four-song record's title track. read more

Or:la "Reach My Soul (Embryo New York Mix)" Posted: 23 Jan 2014 11:03 AM PST Or:la's "Reach My Soul" was already a considerably deep house workout before Embryo got his hands on it, but on his remix—which serves as the b-side to Or:la's recent 12"—the Slovakian producer takes the Liverpool artist's original version into more properly thumping territory. read more

Mano Le Tough Announces New EP Posted: 23 Jan 2014 10:36 AM PST After being quiet on the production front since releasing his debut LP Changing Days last year, Mano Le Tough has announced plans to release a new EP of original material next month via Maeve, a label he co-heads alongisde The Drifter and Baikal. read more

M-Audio Unveils Trigger Finger Pro Posted: 23 Jan 2014 09:56 AM PST As part of the company's array of new units being rolled out for NAMM, M-Audio has unveiled the Trigger Finger Pro, an updated version of its classic workhorse controller, the Trigger Finger, which brings with it an abundance of updates, including a built-in step sequencer. read more

Computer Jay "Binary Fix (Eprom Remix)" Posted: 23 Jan 2014 09:00 AM PST Los Angeles-based artist, Master Blazter contributor, and hardware designer Jason Taylor (a.k.a. Computer Jay) welds modern electro-funk from his DIY synth gear, with one foot in the current LA beat scene and the other in G-funk's past. Portland producer Eprom's (pictured above) acid-leaning take on "Binary Fix" strips away the original sounds until only a skeletal slab of warbling analog techno remains. In addition, a Tron-inspired music video for "Binary Fix"—directed and co-produced by Computer Jay himself—can be viewed after the jump. read more

Com Truise Shares New Track, Announces North American Tour Posted: 23 Jan 2014 08:36 AM PST With a few weeks left before the release of his Wave 1 EP via Ghostly, East Coast synth alchemist Com Truise has posted one of that record's brand-new productions to SoundCloud as a full stream. read more

Tom Demac Readies New EP for Aus Posted: 23 Jan 2014 08:16 AM PST It has been quite a while since we've heard a proper solo record from London DJ/producer Tom Demac, as his most recent releases have been collaborative 12"s and EPs with the likes of Glimpse and Will Samson. Thankfully, Demac is now gearing up to drop an offering of his own via Will Saul's Aus label. read more

Chorus Posted: 23 Jan 2014 07:00 AM PST The first thing most people heard from Holly Herndon was her 2012 album Movement, an LP that evenly balanced granular studies on human breath with more kinetic, techno-derived sensibilities. Judging by Chorus, her new 12", this dichotomy is still central to Herndon's sound. The producer has an imposing pedigree—she's a Mills College graduate—but even her most experimental moments, on Movement and Chorus at least, have hooks. read more

Mia Dora "Button" Posted: 23 Jan 2014 06:00 AM PST Following last year's release of its polished and slinky You in the Future EP for London imprint MadTech, Glasgow production duo Mia Dora has sent over a dub-inflected bass cut culled from the outfit's live improvisations. "Button" dabs warehouse-sized reverb on its skittering percussion, remaining a rhythm-focused, functional piece with sporadic synth blasts for ambience. read more

SnowSkull & Jauge "DreamLess (Instrumental)" Posted: 23 Jan 2014 02:00 AM PST Welsh visual artist and producer SnowSkull has launched All Great Thoughts are Conceived by Walking, an "enriched arts project comprising of a website and a music compilation" intended to highlight emerging talent from Wales' electronic music scene. The five-track compilation consists of new work from rising production duo Bodhi (with each member operating under their solo aliases, Dubs and Owls), Blured, and burgeoning producer Jauge, who collaborates with SnowSkull on "DreamLess." Featured here in its instrumental form, the collaborative tune's title is somewhat misleading, as no part of it lessens its dreamy aesthetic. Between the droning organs, washy melodies, and steady sway, "DreamLess" renders itself a calming expedition into a dense electronic soundscape. The full All Great Thoughts Are Conceived By Walking compilation can be streamed after the jump, and SnowSkull's tastefully color-streaked interactive website for the project can be checked out here. read more
