Via Glyph:

‘Morning Mountain’ was inspired by an ambient composition by award winning New Zealand cinematic composer Rhian Sheehan and worked into a beautifully emotional epic that slowly builds over 7 minutes, its weightless melodies lifting you into the stratosphere... ‘A Cold Day’ is a 9 minute breath of icy fresh air, as fragile and beautiful as a frosted spiderweb and going to show just how exciting an artist Essáy is.

Hear bellow a collaborative track that he produced with Kuru (via xlr8r).

"I wanted to create one of those classic listening experiences. With a mix like this, you can either bang it with the most current dancefloor tunes, or you can put a theme into it, or you can make it a journey. I was thinking about the classic LTJ Bukem mixtapes that I first came across in '92 and '93 and how epic they were. There was such a range of styles on there, they were so timeless and had real character. They had some personality. That’s what I wanted to capture with my DJ-Kicks mix."

2011-12-20T04:27:00.000-08:00

Όπως πολύ εύστοχα σχολίασε κάποιος, το ντεμπούτο άλμπουμ του VVV από το Ώστιν, είναι a danceable Burial.. Έτσι ακριβώς, future garage/dubstep ρυθμοί, κάτι μεταξύ Burial και Sepalcure, σε ένα άλμπουμ που δεν πρόλαβα (οριακά) να το βάλω στην #blogovision. Παρακάτω το καταπληκτικό Among The Whispers, όπως το ακούσαμε και προχθές στην εκπομπή, ενώ εδώ ακούτε ένα ωραίο remix του στην Adele.

Φτάσαμε στην τελευταία μέρα της Blogovision και για φέτος.. Στο νούμερο 1, ένα άλμπουμ που κέρδισε στις λεπτομέρειες, καθώς τα επόμενα 3 στην λίστα μου, ήταν ουσιαστικά και αυτά για την πρώτη θέση. Περισσότερο διάλεξα με βάση τα plays στο ipod μου.. Modeselektor λοιπόν, στο ίσως καλύτερο άλμπουμ τους στην μέχρι τώρα πορεία τους, με συνεργασίες με PVT, Thom Yorke και Apparat μεταξύ άλλων. Ένα άλμπουμ που δείχνει τον δρόμο για το πως πρέπει να εξελιχθεί η ηλεκτρονική μουσική τα επόμενα χρόνια. Παρακάτω, το βίντεο που έφτιαξα για το Grillwalker, με τη σκηνή "του χορού" από το Napoleon Dynamite..

Top Album no. 2: Nicolas Jaar - Space Is Only Noise

2011-12-19T00:24:00.000-08:00

Από την στιγμή που σε ηλικία 14 ετών, ο πατέρας του, του πήρε δώρο για τα Χριστούγεννα το Thé Au Harem D'Archimède του Villalobos, μαζί με το Vocalcity του Luomo, ήταν σίγουρο ότι κάτι καλό θα γινόταν. Όλα όμως ξεκίνησαν από το DJ Kicks του Tiga (??) που είχε ακούσει τυχαία.. 21 ετών πλέον, ο Nicolas Jaar μας προσφέρει ένα από τα καλύτερα άλμπουμ της χρονιάς. Space Is Only Noise.. Παρακάτω το βίντεο που έχω φτιάξει για το Encore, το οποίο δεν είναι μέσα στο άλμπουμ (μόνο σε ένα podcast), αλλά θα κυκλοφορήσει σύντομα από την εταιρεία του.

Top Album no. 3: SBTRKT - SBTRKT

2011-12-18T02:39:00.000-08:00

Στην πρώτη 3άδα της χρονιάς, ξεκινάμε με τον SBTRKT, στο απόλυτο άλμπουμ του καλοκαιρίου. Μετά το πολύ καλό Step in Shadows EP, διάφορα singles, remixes κτλ, ο μασκοφόρος dub/garage/rnb SBTRKT συνεργάζεται με τον μοναδικό Sampha (αλλά και με Jessie Ware, Little Dragon κα) και μας χαρίζει ανεπανάληπτες στιγμές με τα σούπερ κολλητικά Hold On και Trials Of The Past (live παρακάτω), Something Goes Right, Right Thing To Do, Never Never..

Top Album no. 4: Apparat - The Devil's Walk

2011-12-17T02:40:00.000-08:00

Αλλαγή εταιρίας από τον Apparat (στην -πιο προσιτή- Mute πλέον) και ταυτόχρονα, αλλαγή ήχου (περίπου..), ξεφεύγοντας από τα όρια της electronica και φλερτάροντας -περισσότερο από ότι συνήθως- με shoegaze/indie ρυθμούς. Άρχισε τις συνθέσεις στο Μεξικό με τον Joshua Eustis (Telefon Tel Aviv), και η παραγωγή έγινε στην Ευρώπη με τον πλέον μόνιμο συνεγάτη του, Patrick ‘Nackt’ Christensen (Warren Suicide). Επιβλητική ατμόσφαιρα, μελαγχολικές μελωδίες, πειραματικοί ηλεκτρονικοί ρυθμοί, σε μία από τις πιο ώριμες κυκλοφορίες του. Δεν αγγίζει την τελειότητα του Walls του 2007, ούτε του Silizium EP του 2005, αλλά κομμάτια όπως τα Ash/Black Veil, Song Of Los, Goodbye, Candil De La Calle δεν γράφονται εύκολα..

Top Album no. 5: RPR & Iain Morrison - Trust The Sea To Guide Me

2011-12-16T03:18:00.000-08:00

Ο RΠЯ των Keep Shelly In Athens, μιξάρει/ξαναδημιουργεί/απογειώνει ολόκληρο το ψιλοαδιάφορο folk άλμπουμ του σκωτσέζου Iain Morrison, δημιουργώντας μία μοναδική, πανέμορφη μελαγχολική κυκλοφορία, πολύ κοντά -όπως είναι φυσικό- στον ήχο των Keep Shelly. Ξεχωρίζουν τα Trust the Sea to Guide Me, Take It All, 7th Floor, An Ann Air Mhire Tha Sibh, The Kid Who Hid και αποκορύφωμα το All of Heaven's Birds.. Κάποια από αυτά, τα ακούτε και παρακάτω..

Top Album no. 10: Onra - Chinoiseries Pt. 2

2011-12-11T02:05:00.001-08:00

Στο νούμερο 10, το Chinoiseries Pt.2 από τον Γάλλο Onra, 4 χρόνια μετά το Chinoiseriers Pt.1. Ταξιδεύοντας τα τελευταία χρόνια στην Κίνα και το Βιετνάμ, μάζεψε (ξανά) παλιά, μυστήρια, παραδοσιακά και ποπ τραγούδια των περιοχών και δημιουργησε 32 retro/groovy instrumental hip-hop κομμάτια διάρκειας 1-2 λεπτά. Δυσκολεύτηκα να ξεχωρίσω κάποιο από τα 32, αλλά τελικά έφτιαξα ένα βίντεο για το Fight or Die, με σκηνές από το Zatoichi. Δείτε το παρακάτω.

Top Album no. 11: Scratch Massive - Nuit De Reve

2011-12-10T04:25:00.000-08:00

Σε μια χρονιά που δεν είχαμε κανονικό άλμπουμ από Daft Punk και Kavinsky, που οι Japanese Popstars, οι Digitalism και οι Justice ήταν μέτριοι, αδιάφοροι και κακοί, αντίστοιχα, ήρθε η ώρα των Scratch Massive να κρατήσουν ψηλά τον λεγόμενο γαλλικό ήχο. Και μάλιστα, είναι και Γάλλοι. 3ο άλμπουμ για το ζευγάρι των Maud Geffray & Sebastien Chenut, με αργά, σκοτεινά, στοιχειωμένα, φουτουριστικά nu disco/electro μπιτάκια, με έντονες κινηματογραφικές αναφορές. Ο Jimmy Sommerville απογειώνει με τα φωνητικά του το "Τake Me There" στο βίντεο παρακάτω, ενώ έχουμε και συμμετοχές από Daniel Agust (των GusGus) στο καταπληκτικό "Paris", την Chloé και τον Koudlam.

2011-12-09T02:18:00.001-08:00

Στο νούμερο 12, το νέο άλμπουμ του Scott Hansen, ή αλλιώς Tycho, για την Ghostly International. Ατμοσφαρική ταξιδιάρικη ηλεκτρονική ποπ, με στοιχεία post-rock/shoegaze, όχι τόσο club όσο ίσως περιμέναμε. Κορυφαία το Hours και το Coastal Breaks (unofficial video παρακάτω) σε ένα άλμπουμ που ακούγεται στο repeat όλες τις ώρες της ημέρας..

Top Album no. 13: WhoMadeWho - Knee Deep

2011-12-08T04:50:00.001-08:00

Οι Tomas Barfod, Tomas Hoffding και Jeppe Kjellberg από την Δανία επιστρέφουν -και μάλιστα στην Kompakt- με ένα από τα καλύτερα χορευτικά άλμπουμ της χρονιάς που δείχνει τον δρόμο για τη μελλοντική πορεία της ευρωπαικής ηλεκτρονικής ποπ. Μελαγχολικά, ψυχεδελικά, κιθαριστικά synths, με ωραία φωνητικά που ταιριάζουν ιδανικά στις (κάπως) σκοτεινές και κινηματογραφικές μελωδίες. Παρακάτω τα Τwo Feet Of Ground και Every Minute Alone..
