Recent Releases
For all our vinyl enthusiasts out there, here’s a few slices of wax that have dropped recently that have stood out and been on repeat: Black Light Smoke – Rough Cuts EP [Scissor and Thread] A nice little 4 track EP, jittery vocals that trend a bit dark and eerie. A bit of a dreamy...
Axel Boman
Axel Boman hails from Sweden, developing steadily over the past 4 years into one of the country’s young vanguard, leading the way forward with considered and deep sounds. Since attending RBMA in 2010, he has steadily been garnering a larger following, providing a steady diet of original material via Koze’s Pampa Records, Glasstable Music and...
Actress / Live @ Cameo Gallery 6/6
If you were to describe Actress as merely a musician, you risk selling him incredibly short. If you were to say he makes music, it would be wise to also point out he creates more than songs; he crafts atmospheres, composes scores to unknown yet spiritually familiar landscapes and curates spaces for other artists to...
On Rotation
There’s been a lot of hype and a lot of waiting around for the duo Mount Kimbie to release their next LP. 2010 is when we heard they’re last LP release with Crooks and Lovers in 2010. A electronica, minimal, field recordings, hip-hop exploration through sound. This new recording (Cold Spring Fault Less Youth) sees...
Q + A with George Fitzgerald (Hotflush / Aus / ManMakeMusic)
George FitzGerald is playing TurboTax here at Cameo Gallery tonight, and we couldn’t be more thrilled to have him here in Brooklyn. Releasing his first 12″s on Scuba’s Hotflush Recordings, he has steadily been pushing his musical sound forward in the last few years and was selected earlier this year for a BBC Essential Mix...
Interview with Detroit Swindle (DIRT CREW) – Spring US Tour
With Discovery’s upcoming party at Glasslands in Brooklyn this Saturday, Brooklyn Bass takes time to ask the duo a few questions… “Detroit Swindle have a clear vision on the music they produce and play. If you can’t nod your head to it, it’s probably not theirs and they probably won’t like it. Their...
Red Bull Music Academy NY 2013
The new home of Red Bull Music Academy New York resides in a repurposed office building on 18th Street in Chelsea and it is impressive to say the least. The space features a main studio with a giant SSL mixing board, several smaller “bedroom” studios, vintage gear for days, a lecture hall and (inexplicably)...
Dale Howard
Dale Howard has made his name making big tunes for big DJs; his tunes have been picked up by M.A.N.D.Y., Dusky, Huxley and many more. While he hails from Liverpool, you can’t help but feel Detroit flowing through a lot of his productions. They are cleanly executed pieces, that while simple, hit the mark with...
George Fitzgerald
George Fitzgerald has been making some noise across the Atlantic for the last few years, releasing material on AUS, Hotflush Recordings and his own ManMakeMusic imprint. His jams have made it into a few of our posts before, notably his release on Hypercolour, Need You. Earlier this year he was selected as one of BBC...
Romare
Romare is an interesting specimen. Having only released 2 EP’s, both on the future-leaning Black Acre Records, he has carved out an area in the footwork/juke arena where his intellect and rich intelligence on matters of culture, race and history are able to seep and breathe in all aspects of his production. I highly recommend...
Citizen
In his own words, “Citizen is obsessed with house, parties, budweiser, the Tim Deluxe remix of Love story by Layo and Bushwaka, Illmatic era Nas and Voguing.” Not a bad combo, right? He’s made a couple of appearances on the Boiler Room, has released on Kerri Chandler’s Madtech Records and his star is definitely on...
Label Focus: Local Talk
There is something extremely simple yet extremely satisfying about 90′s era house, sounding a bit retro but possessing warmth and an uplifting vibe at the same time. If you gravitate toward this type of sound, commit the label Local Talk to memory. Based out of Sweden, founders Mad Mats and Tooli have put out a glut...
