Trackc: Lucian – Forever (feat. Remmi)
New York producer Lucian has just released the title track from his upcoming EP, Forever. He’s turned once again to Nashville singer Remmi to collaborate on the track, and it’s a real synth-dance-pop winner. Right from the off, Lucian drops these huge synth chords, often off-kilter and off-beat, and almost always embellished with little tumbling …

Athens, Georgia improvisional post-rockers Japancakes are back with a new self-titled album they are self releasing on 6th May.

Track: Two Another – Shouldn’t have done that

Alongside those first two singles, it also includes a new track, Shouldn’t have done that. It’s full of these shimmering …

They in turn have allowed fellow countryman, producer and one half of White Balance, ILARI, to …

Track: Beyond the Wizards Sleeve – Diagram Girl
It was always going to be brilliant, the collaboration of Erol Alkan and former Grid member Richard Norris, under the moniker of Beyond the Wizards Sleeve, and their many reanimations (as they refer to their remixes) as well as a 2012 single ‘Black Noise’/’Door To Tomorrow’ proved the assumption to be correct. Now there’s a …
