Egyptian Hip Hop : Yoro Diallo

Egyptian Hip Hop debuts a second track from their upcoming LP “Good Don’t Sleep” entitled “Yoro Diallo”. It is a more straightforward and accessible tune than their first track “SYH”. Egyptian Hip Hop moves forward into a smooth jazz realm with “Yoro Diallo”, just imagine if Chick Corea jammed with Steely Dan in the late 80s – this would be a product of that session.

Music Video : Chateau Marmont “Wargames”

Chateu Marmont’s latest single “Wargames” is part yacht rock and part 70s prog rock, an unlikely combination that works so well. Just imagine Giorgio Moroder working with ELO on a score for some 70s heist movie – this would be the opening credits music. Check out the music video that documents their rock and roll travels in America. Their full length album “The Maze” is out soon.

Illum Sphere : Birthday

Manchester’s Illum Sphere returns with “Birthday” via the Young Turks fam. I first heard of Illum Sphere via his fantastic Flying Lotus-esque remix of Bjork’s “Hidden Place”. “Birthday” explores Illum Sphere’s take on a twisted k-hole filter house track as it spins into a controlled chaos. Definitely a track that catches you off guard on a very good way.

Atoms For Peace : Default

My personal dream supergroup, Atoms For Peace is back with a new track entitled “Default” that delves into their cerebral grooves. They are band born from their live energy and stage show but this studio track camouflages all their respective instruments and roles in the band but I am definitely not mad.

” You may have heard that I have a new project called Atoms for Peace. The name comes from some shows of The Eraser that happened a couple of years ago with Mauro, Joey, Nigel and Flea. We got a big buzz from them and discovered loads of energy from transforming the music from electronic to live, and so afterwards, we carried on for a few days in the studio and decided to make it a loose, on-going thing. Immersed in the area between the two…electronic and live. The first tune we’d like you to hear is “Default”. A 12″ vinyl version will follow next month and an album will eventually follow that next year.” – Thom Yorke
