Catch-up Sunday

Yet another rainy Sunday... Oh well! I'm going to round off electronic week with a load of fine artists. First up is Eleven Tigers with Stableface from last year's excellent Clouds Are Mountains.


Good news is that Eleven Tigers will be releasing more material later this year, an album called 111. Keep an ear out for it!


Another artist featuring is Cornelia. I saw her at the same gig as The Simonsound and this was more proof that electronic music can definitely work live. This song was amazing!


I only recently found out about Holy Other whose going to be at the Shacklewell Arms this Tuesday (get tickets here). This song is so chilled and hypnotizing. It's got a cool official video too...


...and someone has edited Gasper Noe's Enter the Void to compliment 'Your Love'.


You can't talk about electronic music without talking about Mount Kimbie. Crooks & Lovers was one of the best albums from last year. Thanks to my TDTuesday family for putting me on to this. Here are two of my favourites.

Field
Hi-Soul (part of the TDTuesday family) also put me on to this guy, Teebs. Bound Ball sounds best when the sun is out but for now I'll just close my eyes and pretend.


This song reminded me of 310's Study in Scarlet from 'Recessional' another great album!


I saw Mi Ami a few months ago and it wasn't what I expected but it was still an excellent night! The group are making electronic music now that their bassist has left and this is my favourite from their Dolphins EP.

  
Hope you have enjoyed electronic week and to round it off, here is The Knife with You Make Me Like Charity. Classic!!!!

The Simonsound

Continuing with electronic week, I'd like to introduce Simon James and Matt Ford aka The Simonsound. Their debut album 'Reverse Engineering' was released a year ago but I only found it a few months back, so it's one of my favourites for this year!! The guys describe it as "’50s and ’60s-inspired space music, mood music for film and TV, haunting vocal tracks and switched-on cover versions of ’70s funk classics realised on the Moog synthesiser". It's available to listen to and purchase directly from their bandcamp.


The Simonsound will be at Spitalfields Festival later this month and are playing at Soundwave in Croatia in July. If you are about either of these events definitely then check them out, I saw them live and it was one of the most fun shows I have ever been to!! Enjoy!

Buck UK & Mirror State- Loved Me In A Way

I have decided to dedicate this week to electronic music and the first artist to feature is Buck UK. I don't know alot about him, he was born and raised in Manchester and now lives in America but listening to his soundcloud, the talent speaks for itself! Buck UK's ambient garage is the future!! Here is my tune of the day 'Loved Me In A Way' by Buck UK & Mirror State uploaded today.


Also, check out 'Once' and the Essáy remix which you can get from their record label Cut's bandcamp. Instant vintage!




Enjoy!
