It’s an odd colored episode this week, full of new releases from various ends of the future music spectrum. During the first hour there are fresh releases from LA producer Shlohmo, Ulrich Schnauss collaborating with Mark Peters for some “Underrated Silence,” Air return and take us on a trip to the moon, Tropics showcases more of his lush production techniques, and we drop Porcelain Raft’s latest for Secretly Canadian. The second hour kicks off with a classic from Guitar and moves into the new single from mad-beat scientist Bullion. We play the new R&B tinged single from Jacques Greene, as well as the latest from eminent drone-duo Windy & Carl. Come take a two hour trip through it all.

The drafty studio walls were warmed by these two hours of top sounds. Things begin with the patient, slow moving beats of Ghost Cauldron, and pick up with a cut from Random Rab’s latest release, “Viurreal.” New music from 1000names and Synkro show some flashes of hip-hop among subdued atmospherics, as Locked Groove closes out part-one with another stellar Hotflush Recordings release. Another killer production from Machinedrum starts an experimental second hour that features Gang Gang Dance remixing King Midas Sound, Steve Hauschildt’s twinkly kosmiche, and Feist getting the remix treatment from Beck. Thanks for tuning in!

We woke ourselves up laughing, our heads spinning to future music. Somewhere near the beginning was new music from Ninja Tune vets Funki Porcini, and at long last, DJ Food. New singles from Sei A and Julio Bashmore kept our heads above water, while Yppah played “D.Song.” The praised sounds of John Maus were ringing in our ears, and Ernest Gonzales shook a finger, informing us that synchronicity prevails. Monolake led us through polygon_cities, and near the end of the road, we flung on the turn signal and moved to Rhythm & Sound, Kaito in the driver seat. Press play to hear what happened.

It’s a brand new week of beats, complete with the usual mix of high quality futuristic sounds. New gems from the likes of Starfawn, Surkin, and Cant kick off a steady first-half, with Smallville Records acts Moomin and Smallpeople closing out the hour with some minimal, melodic house. Part two starts out with a hazy blend of dub techno, and moves into newer releases from SCB (Scuba), a collaboration between Boddika and Joy Orbison, and the latest from Blawan. A bit of everything in the 120s. Enjoy!
