 Throughout the week, a whole lot of material gets posted here on XLR8R. And while we know—and love—that some hardcore readers will eagerly pour over every single news story, interview, podcast, video, and MP3 download that appears on the site, we also realize that for most people, it's impossible to see everything, which means that some quality XLR8R content is likely to get missed in the hustle and bustle of everyone's daily lives. In the interest of making it easier for everyone to catch up, every Friday we present The Lowdown, a weekly wrap-up of the top 10 tidbits from our site. read more   |

 Following last week's appearance of a previously unreleased remix of Glasgow beatmaker Soosh by Shigeto, a new collection of similarly locked-away reworks comissioned by the Scottish artist have now surfaced. Included amongst those selections is fLako's (pictured above) remix of "Too Soon," which shifts Soosh's original work into a more peaceful excercise in boom-bap. Gliding melodic patterns and layers of incomprehensible (and generously manipulated) vocals provide the sort of unique sonic details which makes one almost want to lean into a production. fLako's previously unreleased remix of Soosh can be downloaded below, and others from likes of Greenwood Sharps, Sekuioa, and Mieux can also be nabbed for free from the player after the jump, courtesy of UpMyAlley. read more   |

 With NAMM around the corner, the gear world was abuzz this week with teases, leaks, rumors, and the like. Among them was Moog, who shared the news that it will introduce two new synths at the annual NAMM conference, and Roland, who halfway introduced the Aira TR-08 (a.k.a. the "next step" in the lineage of the 808). Along with news on those two fronts, the latest This Week in Music Tech gathers videos from Four Tet and Swedish outfit Minilogue in their respective sutdious, checks out an app that turns images into experimental sounds, and shares a video profile of a renowned synth repair shop in Berlin. read more   |

 After a year-long bout of silence, Barcelona-based label Disboot is "planning a resurgence" for its fifth anniversary. This resurgence includes "Found," a beautifully textured track from Dr. Res' upcoming Lung Kidnapping EP, which will mark the label's return when it's released on January 30. The production opens up with a subdued, pulsing beat, and emerges into a delicate-yet-upbeat soundscape constructed from uplifting synths. Dr. Res doesn't let his tune stay in a single place for too long, allowing subtle elements, like a soft vocal loop, fade out as quietly as they come in. In addition to "Found," Dr. Res has crafted a mix in honor of Disboot's return, which can be found after the jump. read more   |

Brighton upstart PVC (an acronym which stands for "Purple Velvet Curtains") is a little more than a week away from dropping his "She Can Get It" b/w "You Know My Man" single for DJ Q's fledging Q Recordings imprint. To spread the word, PVC has sent along "Our Reason," a sharp bonus cut from the rising garage/2-step producer.
