Michna “remixes” – more edits, Joy Orbison’s “BRKLN CLLN” turning it to more of a straightforward, 4 on the floor crowd pleaser. Go Brooklyn, Go Brooklyn, Go.

“Here is a new cool producer that is known under the name of MillionYoung. I discovered him a few weeks ago, and I just want to say that I was really impressed by his music and his artwork aswell. Mike «Million Young» Diaz already released a free album entitled Sunndreamm which is must-have. His brand new EP «Be So True» came out through Arcade Sound and can be found here.” – pArSIAN SAM
Sam turned me onto this songwriter/producer from Florida, MillionYoung – definitely a refreshing sound to the chillwave landscape. I especially love this tune “Hammock” which reminds me of The Durutti Column with a little more kick.

What does David Byrne, Fatboy Slim and Filipino shoe goddess Imelda Marcos have in common? Absolutely nothing, which is why Byrne and Mr. Cook collaborated to create this concept album “Here Love Lies” about the Iron Butterfly, Imelda. Byrne and Slim enlist Santigold to help tell the story of Imelda on this track “Please Don’t”. For more info on the concept album click here.

LoneLady is Warp Records latest addition to their expanding sound and empire. LoneLady is a singer/songwriter that channels the likes of Kate Bush, Suicide, Annie Lennox, and the Fall especially on this tune “Immaterial” that she is giving away off her album Nerve Up out 2.22.2010 on Warp. She is to me what La Roux should have been – an edgier and a more true to the New Wave/Synth Pop sound that the UK pioneered in the 80s. The Human League would be proud.

GRUM takes on Magistrates’ “Gold Lover” – stripping it of its polished pop down to a dark slow burner of a house song. RIP Magistrates.

Rimer London is 1/3 of the Dutch trio Le Le but this time he is bringing the Italo Disco to the dancefloor. Sparkley almost 8-bit synths sprinkle the dance floor before that warm analog bass synth kicks in. ITALO TWENTY TEN!
“Intercity EP” out 1.25.2010 on Magnetron Music

As the chill-wave hype spreads across the blogosphere into the IRL music industry it is a relief to find an artist such as Active Child that brings a sense of warmth and songwriter sensibility to this “genre”. Vocally he is reminscent of Bon Iver, Tunde of TV on the Radio mixed with some Grizzly Bear and some touches of Antony Hegarty. Musically it is beautifully layered subtle synths – so subtle that you don’t notice and just imagine a man with a guitar and his voice. Very refreshing stuff.

Sinden does a tasteful and good job taking Miike Snow’s “Silvia” (a track that I feel is perfect and should remain untouched) and turning it into a dancefloor friendly track. The “Silvia” single/remixes is out 1.25.2010.

Bullion – Say Goodbye to What
Bullion’s “Young Heartache” EP was one of the most refreshing and most listened to pieces of music in 2009 for me. The way Bullion samples classic 60s tracks and recontextualizes them into hypnotic beats and grooves is quite a talent and he returns with “Say Goodbye to What” – a psycho-delic revisioning of who knows what sample, it is just some feel good stuff.
