Hems new “Last Words” EP is the shit. The EP features five new tracks and fresh new remixes from Shlohmo, Baauer & more. Our favourite track from the EP is the Earth-from-30,000-feet-above panoply of “The Happy Mask Shop”. Cop dat.

Skrillex collaborator Pennybirdrabbit has just released her debut solo EP treehouse. The EP’s title track showcases the young songbird’s knack for pensive electonic atmosphere and beautiful heartspinning (and sort Bjorkesque) vocals.

Producer Noah Hyde puts on for his city remixing fellow Boisean?(Boiseite? Boisese?) Youth Lagoon’s great “Daydream”. Hyde selects for a deep subtle dance refashioning of the track that is really outstanding. Hat tip to our friends at Golden Scissors for the find.

Buffalo, NY DJ Dstar’s profile has certainly been rising in the electronic scene over the last year. Here, with an assist from Ann Arbor, MI DJ Benzi (rust belt connect!) Dstar takes that next step with a strong remix of The Cataracs’ Kaskade-sampling “All You” from earlier this year.

Inspired by a trip to the artic ghost town of Piramida, just a 1000km from the North Pole, Efterklang have a produced this rather grand first cut from their forthcoming album going by the same name. The results from sounds created with impressive findings like this, plus contributions from a number of other artists including a 60-piece girls’ choir, are somewhat impressive. The accompanying video for “Hollow Mountain” is directed by Oodls and is equally so… enjoy.
Piramida will be out on 4AD & Rumraket on September 24th and can be pre-ordered here. By Nathan Hetherington

Talented UK producer and Ellie Goulding-collaborator (he co-wrote 5 of the tracks on her Lights LP) Starsmith offers up latest track “Zeros”. “Zeros” is an approx. six minute barrage of cascading arpeggio walls and chunky big time beats that marks another sharp entry on the resume of this burgeoning producer.

The French Express winning streak continues with the soulful sounds of “If U Got It” of New York artist Chris Malinchak. “If U Got It” comes nicely equipped with all the right upgrades and accouchements to ride out deep into the late summer.

Canadian producer Stealth Mode dials up the feel good nu-disco vibes (and a really cool soul sample!) for his latest track “Everybody”. Try not and do what the song says.
