Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs’ ‘Dream On’

teed

Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs continues to be one of the most innovative and interesting artists working in ElectroPop today.

His brand new track, ‘Dream On’ mixes up some deep digital late ‘80’s Chicago House elements against TEED’s trademark gentle vocals. The bassy staccato groove has got a real retro flavour and makes for a nice contrast to higher layer of chimes and distant singing. The track works just as well on both these terms, the Warehouse vibe for your feet and the emotive song for your mind.

Tubetops

tubetops

Brooklyn based four peice  Tubetops are funky, catchy, nerdy, DIY and quite handy with a synth.

They’re gearing up to release their début EP in December, seven tracks of varied and eclectic Indie-Electro that flows from jangly Indie to Trip-Hop to LA Funk. The self-titled EP is a hard record to pin down, some of the tracks are so stylistically different from one another, yet Tubetops have a certain warmth, and a certain sound, that seems to tie it all together. Despite the different moods the is a a strong vein of Funk shooting through the collection, tracks like ‘Aquamarine’ and ‘Here With You’ are approaching that particular LA Nu-Funk inspired brand of Dreamwave, whilst elsewhere their New York Indie roots shine though in summery IndiePop stormers.

♫ Tubetops – Aquamarine

♫ Tubetops – Here With You

♫ Tubetops – Bloodlust

Tubetops’ EP is released 8th December.

Orangewood

Orangewood

What happens when LexiconDon crooner Alex Koons teams up with producer Brandon Light and gets drunk? Orangewood, that’s what. A new dimension of groove.

Orangewood’s EP is available on Bandcamp, and it’s an eclectic affair. there’s a lot going on within the four tracks, a lot of influences and a lot of experimentation, but the duo never let’s things get out of hand. They’re going with the flow, but keeping it funky. The opening track, ‘Dick Daniel’ is like a Shoegaze guitarist jamming out over a Disco influenced ‘80’s TV Theme and provides a nice set up for the rest of the EP as you start to get a handle on what to expect. Following on from that the EP starts to bring in strands from everything from Cosmic Disco to R&B to Dancehall to Dub. ‘Too Long For A Good (A Childhood Medley)’ stands out as the ‘hit’, the only track with vocals all the way though, but don’t be expecting a LexiconDon-a-like, ‘Too Long’ is a strange combination of the Tropical and New York Indie, and even a little very early Smashing Pumpkins run through all the fun the studio can offer. There’s pretty much something for everyone on the EP, and at the amazing low price of free, you can’t really not dip your toe into the world of Orangewood.
