A quick round-up of the records that have been thrilling me in last months.
> Ricardo Villalobos - Vasco EP [Perlon]
He did it again! Is it techno, dubstep, a kind of futuristic jazz or simply electronica? I think it doesn't really matter if music is so unconventional and inventive as this. Villalobos keeps surprising us. The both remixes are dope too!
> Vladislav Delay - Recovery IDea (Andy Stott Remix) [Semantica]
A.Stott's amazingly boosts up the original supplying a killing bass to V.Delay's generally mellow clicky sound.
> Brendon Moeller - One Man's Junk EP [Third Ear]
Another remarkable deep, dubby and jazzy excursion guided by B.Moeller. All tracks are a quite different and... great.
> Touane - The Birds [Persona]
This track comes from the same titled EP. A smoothly pumping bassline together with some brass instruments and percussions lead into abstract and deep atmosphere. Landers Grove is not bad either, given that you don't equal the bad with the dark.
> The Per Eckbo Orchestra - Kodo Verano [Oslo]
This is another project by lately highly demanded Guillaume Coutu Dumont, this time together with Federico Molinari. The tribal percussion and weird aboriginal samples are nothing original nowadays, however track's deep and hypnotic flow works nicely.
> Mark Henning - Jupiter Jive LP [Soma]
Funk in a trunk. I had to give some more listen to this, but it's clearly a goodie.
> Henrik Schwarz & Amampondo - I Exist Because Of You (Henrik Schwarz Live Version) [Innervisions]
A brilliant afro groove with likembe-like instrumentation. Check also his take on Ane Brun's song Headphone Silence, both tunes are lovely if you are not scared of melodies and actual singing.
> Dapayk & Padberg feat. Caro - Island (Noze remix) [Mo's Ferry Prod.]
Noze guys have provided a beautiful remix for this song. A melancholic and easy tune to enjoy when you are tired from all the big summer anthems.
> Cassy - A Plea For Me [Cocoon]
Taken from Cocoon compilation H. A hypnotic and percussive gem that might easily become a hit. Seductive.
> Four Tet - Ringer EP [Domino]
Kieran Hebden have done some 4/4 (not necessarily for the floor). Still sounds different and surprising. In a good way.
Other goodies:
Chic Miniature - Chanchita [Crosstown Rebels], Robin Drimalski - Hidden Peak [Vidab], Lauhaus - Downunder [Intacto], Hugo - The Siren [Tuning Spork], Dominik Eulberg - Es Klebt Noch Morgentau In Deinem Haar [Traum], Rhadoo - Dor Mit Oru EP [Cadenza], Los Updates - 4 Wheel Drive (Original Edit) [Cadenza]...
...have I've forgotten anything?
