Koreless returns in 2021 with a remix of Caribou for their upcoming Suddenly Remixes album. It is the first taste of hopefully new Koreless music. Koreless offers up very robust beautiful arrangement that shows he is moving into a very exciting new direction, there is even a moment of a cowbell in this remix 🙂
Storm Queen aka Morgan Geist is back with a new track, his first in 8 years. “For A Fool” is full on the track we want to hear and experience on the dancefloor once the world swings back in that direction. It is the pure club fun we yearn for.
GILA emerges from the trenches with yet another slinky and deep banger. Truly a man among the murk.
Lunice is back with more of his undeniable fire. “Run Around” hits hard to the core with his laser precise arrangements and production. I will type less now and allow you to experience his sonic glory. Enjoy.
DFA1979 strikes back. They are just distilling all that is Death from Above 1979 and leveling up to a pure form that will cleanse us all in 2021. \m/
Two of my favorite Toronto institutions team up. JG provides a 2 hour ambient mix inspired by some of the best Japanese food in Toronto. Truly a pairing of food and music that will soothe and warm your soul during these strange and cold times.
Madlib teams up with Four Tet who “edited, arranged and mastered” his latest LP Sound Ancestors. It is an unlikely pairing but Four Tet distills Madlib’s creations into an album that on 2nd and 3rd listen reveals itself more and more. Unlike initial single “Road of The Lonely Ones” which hits instantly with its emotional soul sample and hard cracking drums – the entire album is a journey which sometimes feels a bit too clean sounding of a production for Madlb. But in the end is just a completely vulnerable and stripped down to his essence type of sound that no doubt will connect with a larger audience.
Onyx Collective channels the anxiety and turmoil of our modern age into a pure sonic act of aggression that is a beautiful release. “Rat Race” is a great nod to the legendary NYC free jazz group, Last Exit along with a lot of the hardcore NYC greats. I hope for more of this rawness in 2021.
Devin Sarno is a pioneer in generating low end ambient music by using just a bass guitar. He is a huge inspiration and shed so much light on what can be done with an unlikely instrument for ambient music. “Love Chronicle Memory” is his upcoming album that he recorded December 2020 – January 2021 and continues to explore and dive deeper into his version of ambient music. Pre-order the album now on his bandcamp.
