True Lust "Paranoia" Posted: 08 Sep 2014 11:00 AM PDT The project of Denver musician/producer Dillon Morton (with help from collaborator Robert Sands), True Lust concerns itself with the darker and more eccentric ends of interstellar disco. Set to serve as the title track to True Lust's debut LP, "Paranoia" presents a spiraling array of reverb-washed drum machine hits, MIDI piano chords, and heavily effected guitar strums. read more

Hal Floyd "All Ventures Overboard" Posted: 08 Sep 2014 09:00 AM PDT Growing Portland-based outpost Blankstairs will welcome a new name to its roster of budding talents when Sydney producer Hal Floyd (who has previously been seen releasing material via Chicago net-label Don't Trust Humans) drops his two-track Water Colors EP later this month. read more

Endgame Posted: 08 Sep 2014 08:00 AM PDT Daniel Martin-McCormick's experimental music resume is as varied as it is impressive. Membership in the bands Black Eyes and Mi Ami long ago proved the DC-born artist's chops in the fields of hardcore and electronic-infused punk, and in his time he's also offered up abrasive, oddball electro-sleaze as Sex Worker. As Ital, he's been catching our ears with his curveball house since 2011, first via a quickfire series of EPs on 100% Silk and then with two albums during 2012 for Planet Mu, Hive Mind and Dream On. read more

Artist Tips: Addison Groove Shares Five of His Production Secrets Posted: 08 Sep 2014 07:00 AM PDT Tony Williams' Addison Groove project blasted into the dance music arena in 2010 with the massive "Footcrab," and the Bristol-based producer hasn't really eased off the throttle since. Over the past few years, he's issued two albums, along with a flurry of singles and EPs, the most recent being last month's 'Turn Up the Silence' for 50Weapons. During that time, he's obviously been a key figure in marrying the rhythms of footwork to the bass-heavy traditions of UK dance music, and he's also become renowned for his mastery of the fabled Roland TR-808 drum machine. Curious to find out more about some of the methodology behind his furious work ethic, we've enlisted Williams for the latest edition of 'Artist Tips.' read more

Bakradze "Twice" Posted: 08 Sep 2014 06:00 AM PDT "Twice" seems like the kind of song that is meant to carry its listeners away along with it. A stoney, disco-referencing production, the track glides to and fro, its rich assemblage of funk-touched synths and string-like pads coming in and out of focus, while understated rhythms swing below and a hand-played electric bassline keeps the song's wave-like movements afloat. "Twice" is in fact a bonus cut to Bakradze's (a.k.a. Gacha's) new Letter EP, which sees its release today via fledgling imprint The Crescent. A three-track effort of similarly sweeping excursions, Bakradze's new record can be previewed after the jump. read more

Huxley Details First Single from Forthcoming Album Posted: 08 Sep 2014 05:02 AM PDT As we reported a few weeks ago, UK house stalwart Huxley is preparing to release his debut full-length via Aus next month. read more
