The Beat Oracle

After a long, sleepy walk through the wilderness, we came across a glowing box of songs. We opened it, and this is what came out: New music from Ludique’s latest album, the Arapaima X mix of Liar’s fantastic “Giulia,” Tensnake remixing Osborne’s “16th Stage,”, dense psych from Tame Impala, spastic synths from Mouse on Mars, the fuzzed out warmth of Jessica Bailiff, analogue tape ambience from Semya, a love song from the United States of America, and new sounds from Christopher Rau on Smallville Records. That’s what happened one Saturday night.
