Lee Bannon - Main/Flex EP

New TracksadminComment

After the success of his Alternate/Endings full-length earlier this year, I think it's safe to say music fans and critics alike have accepted Lee Bannon's sudden transition into the world of drum 'n' bass.

The West Coast producer is now backing that move up with a new EP titled Main/Flex, which features a surprising and varied guest list: Hak of Ratking, Deejay Earl, and Anthrax drummer Charlie Benante. Not only that, but Lee's typically atmospheric production feels even more vast at some points--I mean, the track "RMF-2" is pretty much an ambient cut.

Millie & Andrea is the on-off collaborative project of electronic music producers Miles Whitaker and Andy Stott. They're finally doing this side-project of theirs big with a new full-length album, which you can stream via the widget above.

It's a set of eight tracks that are glitchy, textured, and rhythmic explorations of sound. Look out for some jungle-style breakbeats, spacey synth sequences, and hypnotic grooves. Enjoy!

Jumping Back Slash - JBS004

New TrackstheneedledropComment

With this fourth and latest self-titled Bandcamp EP, Cape Town electronic musician Jumping Back Slash continues to refine his captivating "afrotronical space music" aesthetic. If you're familiar with JBS's past work, this new set of tracks won't throw you for a loop. All four are laced with tribal percussion, soulful vocal samples, progressive synth washes, and propulsive techno beats--and they're more danceable than ever! Happy listening!

It's a pretty dizzying group of songs, and are loaded with nutty samples, infectious grooves, and detailed rhythms. Enjoy!
