Magic Panda – Beyond The Burning Horizon
Was just looking through the new dashboard on my soundcloud when I chanced on this. Magic Panda is Tigerbeat6‘s latest addition to their artist roster and he has a new ep coming out of the imprint called Days Are Numbered. Not to be confused with Gold Panda, think of Magic Panda as the melodic equivalent...
Flatmate
Flatmate is like WOW. These french dubstep / electronica producers are insanely deft at layering those basslines. Whether its the rough synth stabs or the tough, tight beats, they’re completely ON IT, if you know what I mean. Listening to this is like watching some kind of superb architecture unfolding infront of you – it’s...
Hiatus – Music For A Film
I am abit late for this one, got into the frenzy of getting ready for xmas and its aftermath and then too bummed out to physically move from the couch playing on the Playstation to turn on the laptop. My man, Cyrus aka Hiatus just gave away an 8 track mini album called Music For...
A Setting Sun
The soft, electronic drone of Jay Bodley’s A Setting Sun is setting the pace and the tone for this Monday morning here in the Bad Fotography HQ (aka my bedroom.) This is like the build up to an epiphany: the emotions captured so solidly with textured layers of sound in slow motion. I am listening...
Hiatus
The first thing that struck me about Hiatus was the deeply moving music, he calls it “cinematic electronica”. Cinematic for a reason – it evokes nostalgia for the listener, like a past life realised in a moment of epiphany. The second thing that interests me is his heritage: here is a London native, a DJ,...
Gold Panda – Same Dream China
It’s late and I’m still trawling through my inbox. Found some love by Ghostly International again. Derwin aka Gold Panda‘s just released Lucky Shiner 2 weeks back. We’ve got a promo track courtesy of the label and a lovely video for the track Snow & Taxis. Watch and listen. Also, read that post I wrote...
Modual – Infinity
Traditional DnB heads or hardcore dubsteppaz are probably gonna hate this. But I don’t give a shit. If its awesome, it gets on here. Modual from Sweden, have become kinda like good friends to me. Just by virtue of how nice they are in emails and how fucking awesome their tracks are. If you aint...
Idioteque
This is exactly what I need right now. Not it’s not Radiohead, and although that image does look like the Kid A cover, Idioteque is a band. Nothing wrong with emulating your idol, as long as you do it right. And these guys get away with it. Idioteque is an excellent band on their own,...
Matthew Dear
The man behind the Ghostly label, Matthew Dear has announced the release date for Black City, the highly anticipated 4th full length output. Little People (Black City) will be the first single off the album and is scheduled for release on September 14th. Little People is a monster of a track, rolling on a cosmic...
Irrelevant
“Hailing from Colchester originally coming from a tech-house background Irrelevant has slowly been creeping onto the scene with his deeper dubstep tracks and anonymous vibe. (Hence the name Irrelevant) [Irrelevant - June 2010 DnB Remix] Not one to seek attention or gratis his music has just been out there for discovery. Once Alley Cat from...
AEED – ERROR CODE
Hip hop but not quite. AEED is a producer based in Switzerland, and describes his music as “21st century beat music”. We hear hip hop with chopped, staggered vocals but there are also shades of ambient with his signature 8-bit style electronica. The closest other artist whom I can compare this to will probably be...
Teen Daze
Teen Daze! Why haven’t I heard of Teen Daze before? Why? Why? Why? Don’t judge the post by the picture though, it’s not stoner-wave. Don’t worry, I will try and not use the “C” word in this post. I mean it kinda is, but not really. [Video: Teen Daze - Shine On, You Crazy White...
