Brainfeeder
With his sophomore album Ghost People appearing on 2011‘s end of the year charts for the likes of Mixmag (#6), Clash Magazine (#9), DJ Magazine (#9), Data Transmission (Album of the Year), Martyn returns to Brainfeeder to release a follow-up 12” this March. The 12” leads with “Hello Darkness”, previously unreleased and exclusive to the release, Martyn shuffles through a rhythmic bassline and feeling of, indeed, darkness from the very first beat. In typical Martyn fashion, the track skips its way through genre conventions, landing in a flux between 2-step, driving techno and old rave (the latter specifically heard in his ethereal and scaling upper melodies). “Hello Darkness” could lend itself to the rawest, grittiest warehouse, yet simultaneously breeds a subtle feeling of elation and release, and keeps the listener guessing with a variety of quirky sound collages.

To say that Black and Brown, the new collaborative EP from Detroit indie-rap producer Black Milk and shock-rap loose cannon Danny Brown, feels "half-finished" would be over-generous. Covering 10 tracks in a scant 22 minutes and bearing a forehead-slap obvious title that probably existed before the project did, Black and Brown is hastily assembled, thoughtlessly sequenced, and conspicuously truncated. There are two songs, back to back, titled "WTF" and "LOL". Four songs don't exceed the two-minute mark. The overwhelming impression is that the EP exists because an assistant stumbled across an "in-progress" folder of mp3s on Black Milk's desktop and leaked the results. And yet, Black Milk is one of indie rap's best and most reliable producers, and Danny Brown, fresh off his brilliant XXX, is riding a white-hot creative streak: which means that Black and Brown is 22 hastily assembled, thoughtlessly sequenced minutes of vivid beats and incredible rapping.

We're all still a bit choked up from the bomb Air France dropped on us (he he, get it?) on Monday, when the Swedish duo announced it would be disbanding after nearly six years of making breezy, Balearic brilliance. And almost as a way to help us cope, Memory Tapes , a friend and labelmate of Air France's over on Something in Construction, has let loose a remix he did of the last tune to surface from Joel Karlsson's and Henrik Markstedt's collaborative project, the effervescent "It Feel Good to Be Around You." This new version employs plenty of strings and melodic atmospherics to keep the mood light, which the straightforward dance beat and funky bassline effectively do, too.

wprowadzam system minirecenzji mając nadzieję, że dobrze sprawdzi się jako sugestia pomocna w Waszych muzycznych poszukiwaniach. większość pozycji będzie stanowiła świeżynki jakie, przy odrobinie szczęścia, sami możecie odnaleźć w internecie. przysadzisty dubstep, zbyt sztampowy, by mnie czymkolwiek zaskoczyć. sample ułożone w sposób nazbyt oczywisty, sztywny, linia basu synthuje i wobbluje. całkiem zmyślny układ perkusjonaliów. wierny cytat ogranych schematów dubstepowych. niewiele brakuje by materiał wypadł całkiem nieźle, może kilku pomysłów. trzeci utwór możliwie najbardziej świdrujący drogi pamięciowe. detroitowe synthy przeszywające ciężką materię, na którą składa się kolaż sampli dubstepowych i techno z mroczkami w tle. ciekawy rezultat, bardzo klimatyczne, tribalowe granie, kapitalny track tytułowy, drugi numer zwalisty, bardziej oczywisty.
