Toro Y Moi

Toro Y Moi’s new video, ‘How I Know’ is decidedly slapstick by Toro Y Moi standards.

Jordan Kin directed this clip which has gone a bit hipster Casper.

‘How I Know’ is the third single from ‘Underneath the Pine’.

Franklin’s new tune

franklin

This is Franklin’s new track, of which we know very little about.

It’s taken from his Wool Recordings album ‘Artificial light’, due out later this year, and shows Franklin at him most intimate and electronic. This chilled piece is stripped down to the core of one man and his synthesizers and is strangely hypnotic. That analog bassline is so enveloping.

Franklin’s album is due out in October this year.

DannielRadall’s new EP

DannielRadall

DannielRadall has just released a new EP, comprised entirely of reMixes and rewords of Jef Barbara’ ‘Cocaine Love’

The ‘Cocaine Love’ EP is a journey through twisted ElectroPop, sleazy synth Funk and the dark side of the 80’s. That doesn’t mean that this EP doesn’t have a groove though, check out ‘On Mirror’ which takes the song to a slow jam Disco place where Moog leads and big 80’s chords form a path that leady you to the dark underbelly of DiscoPop. The original DanielRandall reMix of the track is a strange and enticing mixture of reverb soaked Chillwave and an Italo, almost EBM bassline, which seems to counterpoint and accentuate the slight sense of dread in the vocals.

New EP from Toro Y Moi

toro_y_moi

Chillwave staple Toro Y Moi in more of a smooth mode right about now.

He’s just announced his latest EP, titled ‘Freaking Out’ which is rumoured to be influenced by the likes of the Gap Band and Teddy Riley. You can hear that in Toro Y Moi’s cover of Alexander O’Neal & Cherelle’s ‘Saturday Love’. Slick late 90’s electronic R&B with a dreamy Chillwave sheen and an ear for spaced-out Funk. The tune, which features on the new EP, is a sweet love song with a mind-blowing bassline seen through the haze of reverb washed psychedelia.

‘Freaking Out’ is released 13th September.

The Sound Of Arrows reMixed by Chad Valley

As featured in Edwin Van Cleef’s recent mix, here is Chad Valley’s reMix of The Sound Of Arrows’ new single, ‘M.A.G.I.C.’.

The track is pretty magical (no pun intended) as it is, but Chad Valley makes the song appear otherworldly with subtle vocal manipulation, reverb washed melodies and a deep, resonant, early 90’s House bassline. A complete departure from the uplifting EuroPop of the original, Chad’s reMix a soothing, hypnotic experience and a perfect compliment to both the single version and the video.

Washed Out – Amor Fati

Here is another beautiful new teaser from Washed Out’s forthcoming Sub Pop LP ‘Within And Without’

‘Amor Fati’ is an immense dreamy anthem. Focused Chillwave abounds here with an upbeat groove and tight echoes. Less floaty and ethereal than it’s contemporaries ‘Amor Fait’ draws heavily on 80’s Pop and Shoegaze and Washed Out uses those influences to create a Chillwave style structured Pop song. More like this please!

Sub Pop released ‘Within And Without’ 12th July.

Southern Shores

Sit back, relax and fall in love with the music of Southern Shores.

The latest signing to the amazing Cascine, Southern Shores are about to release their début EP, ‘Atlantic’, a collection of six dreamy chilled ElectroPop tunes. Not really reverb drenched wall-of-sound enough to truly be Chillwave but the ‘Atlantic’ EP retains a Chillwave vibe while rooting the music in the late 80’s/early 90’s eclectic Pop sound that is fast becoming Cascine’s trademark. Throughout the EP the vast array of instrumentation and vocal styles pepper each track with a signature sound of it’s own while all six tunes blend into one tropical, escapist fantasy EP. The first single from the EP, ‘Night Is Young’ is the kind of track you’d hear in a House club in your dreams. Intricately crafted, layers of samples roll over one another washing and through a solid backing. Now summer is truly here, Souther Shores arrived just in time.

Southern Shores – Night Is Young

The ‘Atlantic’ EP is out 12th July.
