Snakadaktal – Hung On Tight (Fractures Remix)

sanakadaktal

Fractures who impressed earlier this year with their big blog hit “Twisted” hop on remix duty for another B3 fave Snakadaktal’s very good “Hung On Tight”. Fractures select for some rather impressive embellishments in the beats and instrumental; including that perfectly appropriated harp @ 3:45, which continues to just crush us w/ every listen. Snakadaktal’s debut Aussie LP is slated for a UK/US release this fall.

Premiere: Lenka – Nothing Here But Love (Twice As Nice Remix)

Lenka - Shadows of Shadows -  Remix EP Cover

Our faves the Twice As Nice crew get tapped for the lead release from fellow Aussie exiled to L.A. Lenka’s upcoming “Shadows of Shadows” remix EP. The syrupy sweet Twice As Nice mix glides about rather playfully all while still maintaining that sort of signature TAN ballast in the drum track’s punchiness and weight. Lenka “Shadows of Shadows” remix EP (remixing her Shadows LP from earlier this year) will see a global digital release on the 10th of September.

UK producer T. Hemingway lays some thick as day old molasses smoothness on Gold Panda’s track for “Reprise”. Been a long week? Let this be your reward.

Wave Racer – Rock U Tonite

Wave Racer

The newest addition to the growing and impressive Aussie label Future Classic, Wave Racer seems to have found a formula that is nothing short of awesome. “Rock U Tonite” is chaotic and beautiful with all the sensibilities of a pop groove. The music community has taken notice. DJ Crnkn featured some of Wave Racer’s tracks on his most recent spin at Diplo and Friends. Wave Racer also remixed Cosmo’s Midnight new track “The Dofflin” which hit #1 on triple j, and shared the same bill as Flight Facilities. Plus the name Wave Racer reminds me of the very underrated Wave Race 64 (look it up). Reviewed by Brian Litwin

Lapland – Unwise

lapland unwise

“Unwise” is the Claude Debussy-meets-Air single from Brooklyn-based bedroom producer Josh Mease a/k/a Lapland. As inventive as it is lovely, “Unwise” is beautiful and comforting in its repetition and its groove. It’s also evocative and impressionistic in its tone and atmosphere. A very special track indeed.
