The greasy sky lurched on as we rode west. The clouds slept fat like that for miles, soaked in oil and aching to rain. Aside from the whir of the car side-winding the two lane road “This Is Here” kicks and navigates the empty space. When you’re travelling in the desert you need a companion to keep you from dozing off and happening into armadillos or … Continue reading dabp – When You Come Back [EP]
Yesterday a compilation dropped called The Party. I figured I’d write a post fashionably late, because that’s when all the cool kids show up. Blogs Soul Electronic and Indie R&B came together and RSVP’d a list of slick producers, (i.e., Ruddyp, Andrea, Kid Smpl, etc.) to make a nice house/future/beats release. They say: “From house and garage to R&B and ambient, “The Party & The After Party” … Continue reading Booddha – “Money” [Free DL]
Australian producer Charles Murdoch continues to make these phenomenal downtempo jams and give them away for free. If he was a car salesman his name would be ‘Crazy Charlie’ for his unbelievably generous spirit. “…Practically giving these away for FREE. That’s right, for free….” He’s not offering up lemons either (like some seedy salesman might), but chilled out house/hip-hop blends that could easily be packaged and sold. If you’re … Continue reading Charles Murdoch – “Chips” & “Chains” [Free DL]
This is some dirty dance music. How exactly does he make dirty beats? Does he stay up late and whisper dirty jokes to his Akai MPC2500? Nah, at least, I hope not. (Damn, my intro’s have been fuckin’ rough, lately. Bear with me.) Well, Lithuanian electronic producer Napo adds some jolting synthwork, spastic, too-much-sugar rhythmic elements and he doesn’t remove the fuzz. “Look Atchu” is a UK … Continue reading Napo – Megan Fxx [EP]

Aside from Big Mister Doom stealing my 10 year-old super villain name I really like Tinderbox. It’s molded by elements of dub, house and glitch-hop to make some supreme beat based music. Here’s a more eloquent description: Big Mister Doom’s Ian Scott and Joe Wretham bring detailed, rich and deeply textured electronic music on their début EP ‘Tinderbox’. Taking influence from genres including Minimal Techno, IDM … Continue reading Big Mister Doom – Tinderbox [Album]
Feliz Ano Nuevo! Happy New Years! Figured I’d wait out my hangover before thinking and putting sentences together. Thankfully, Intro Beats has you and I covered for something to soothe our lingering headaches. Halftime is his first instrumental effort that melds together house rhythm and ambient creeping layers that splash—float—blossom—into ear shot. From melted voices to jazz progressions you might begin to think, “Is this the same … Continue reading Intro Beats – Halftime [Album]
