Creeping, off-kilter electronics from techno experimentalist and sound scientist Peter Van Hoesen, on this new track off of his recently released 2nd LP, Perceiver. The tune above sways uneasily through the fog, only gaining focus after the seemingly disparate melodic particles coalesce into a fluid, complex rhythm. This is modular music, constructed not on a screen but on two machines: the brain and the synth. Sit, eyes close, let your mind do the talking.

The gentleman did a full album mix, highly recommend you checker out below.

March 12th, 2013 finds Dutch wunderkind Torus in fine form, with a second emission for Sonic Router by way of a free EP of awesome material, The Yard Sale. ”Shallow Depth” deals in shifting emotions, layers, and surgical sound design to deliver a mutant of a track: think 2008-Flylo funneled through Houston hip-hop with Torus’s signature dose of musique concrete percussion. Slinky, defined, and sharp to a T…this new material from Torus and SR is hot shit. Scope the fullness down below.

A classic from the vaults, a deep dig through Further Records discography reaps pretty fantastic rewards. Somehow Dozzy manages to make timeless music each and every time…no more words, just listen.

Some really, reeeeeally dope grooves coming out of the Further Records camp yesterday, highlighted by this low-slung dub-techno workout by Chris Jones, aka Yard. The Portland producer weaves syncopated basslines, softly strobing synths, and a bulbous kick drum through washes of dilapdiating pads for an early morning roller that never quite lifts the haze.

we Korters are looking forward to this Friday’s edition of The Bunker, taking place at Public Assembly. Resident spinner Bryan Kasenic has cobbled together a psychedelic, out-there collection of artists for this particular event, enlisting Madteo, Fred P, Tin Man, Professor Genius and more in an evening that’s bound to get weird. In other words, we’re very excited: http://beyondbooking.com/thebunker/default.asp#tinman

Soak in some of the vibes with the vidz here and if you’re floating about the NYC area, make sure to stop in, say hello, and weird out a bit with some of the most beautifully abnormal techno around.

Italo-horror movie-inspired B-more and bass stylings from the depths…the divebombing bassline seems calibrated to send dancefloors into a frenzy

Never really been into the nasally vocal stylings of Brooklyn R&B wunderkind Autre Ne Veut, but right from the start, his new LP for Oneohtrix’s Software imprint is absolutely glorious. There’s many familiar, trendy elements that can be found in everything from trap to Grimes: 808 percussion, trancey arepeggios, and chortling synth choirs… so much so that it makes me a little queasy when dissecting the music.

Taken together, though…this is some weird, abnormal, and just plain epic pop music. Really, whatever your reservations, you should check out this album.

I mean, fuck. no one treats vocals quite like Four Tet. cannot wait for the full version and to pre-order a copy of the 5x12” boxset on March 29th.

Yep, this pretty much chokes me up every single time. There could not be better news than the forthcoming second LP from old-school soul man Charles Bradley…modern blues for the hungry at heart.

An unheralded classic from Dr. Dre, this early-90s LP featured some of his best sampling and a gifted young rapper in The D.O.C., who’s career was cut short after his debut by a larynx-crushing car accident. The stuff legends are made of…

Here’s your first taste of our label’s new act, the Brooklyn/Austin duo known as King Garbage. Their cover of the Portishead classic featured on The Fader today, and adds a creeping, pseudo-masculine element that saunters its way into the soul. The KG sound is on full display, with a beautifully re-harmonised chorus and singer Vic DiMotsis’s sultry croon. 

Their debut release, on the 3rd installment of Styles Upon Styles’ Bangers & Ash series, will drop on custom-designed 12” vinyl and digital in April. You can have a look at the artwork from SHVL FCE, and pre-order, herrrrr: http://stylesuponstyles.bandcamp.com/

New Container coming out on Rabih Beani (Morphosis)’s consistently lethal Morphine imprint, featuring this krautrock-meets-noise warehouse monster, “Saturate”. The psychedelic factor has gone through the roof, and the Tennessee native’s music continues to evolve into a tangled, addictive form of rhythmic subjugation. Scope that Treatment EP on the Doser label soon…

Clips came up today for Samuel Kerridge’s forthcoming drop on Downwards, furthering his throttled, sludgy sound with an eye-opening array of industrial environments and caustic, face-melting audio debris. The guy is really creating a world all his own, strap on the high quality cans and lock in: you need to hear this sound design, it’s other-worldly.

For more, revisit Kerridge’s trip through a heaving technopolis wasteland on our 9th Kort mixtape:

Sky’s full of rays and shining, we on the cusp of a dope weekend in NYC…time to break out the De La Soul, son.
