It’s almost ridiculous how much exciting music has been gathered together for today’s Press Play […]
It’s almost ridiculous how much exciting music has been gathered together for today’s Press Play installment. Sure, we may say that a lot, but this week has been especially gracious with the delivery of fresh sights and sounds from within the world of top-notch electronic music. You’ll find album previews, free downloads, DJ sets, videos, and more from the likes of Modeselektor, Girl Unit, Kingdom, Onra, Oneman, Matmos, Juan Maclean, XXXY, Mister Lies, Surgeon, L-Vis 1990, Druid Cloak, and so many others once you dive into the post by following the jump.
If you missed it, the inimitable Modeselektor dropped an hour-long mix on Boiler Room recently, and now it’s available to stream in all of its raucous glory.
The ’80s-obsessed French beatsmith Onra took to his SoundCloud profile to give away some “2011 unreleased r’n’b shit” called “Second Chance.”
After announcing his forthcoming Got Me So EP for Rinse with a clip of its title track, Manchester’s XXXY offered a full stream of one of its three cuts, the supercharged house of “Studio 9 (Just Like That).”
DFA stalwart Juan Maclean breaks a lengthy period of relative silence with “Love in Space,” a brand-new tune he dropped on Tim Sweeney’s Beats in Space radio show.
Here’s a preview of the forthcoming Night Slugs All Stars Vol. 2, featuring unreleased bits and handpicked tunes from Girl Unit, L-Vis 1990, Kingdom, Egyptrixx, and more.
Speaking of L-Vis 1990, here’s the debut track from his collaboration with Joakim, Jam City, and Kindness (collectively known as Everyone), which we first heard about earlier this month when Joakim announced his new Crowdspacer imprint.
London DJ Oneman follows up last week’s “119 House Edit” of The xx with this wild mashup of TLC and Dro Carey.
After announcing his upcoming LP for NNA Tapes, Anthony Child (a.k.a. Surgeon) shares a heavily atmospheric excerpt from The Space Between People Things.
Here’s yet another taste of the eighth LP on the way from the Baltimore sound manipulators of Matmos, The Marriage of True Minds, the playfully beat-driven “Teen Paranormal Romance.”
Diamond Version will continue its onslaught of punishing techno sounds with the release of EP3 next week via Mute, and shares its opening track in this flickering video.
Still a month from releasing his debut LP Mowgli, young Bubblin’ Up producer Mister Lies lets loose with a stream of the disarming “Hounded.”
This free remix EP for Funerals‘ “Boo Sra” tune offers productions from the likes of Druid Cloak, Mikix the Cat, and Hissy Fit, among others.
The latest record to bubble up from the dark depths of Manchester’s Modern Love label is this offering of sinister beat work from Massachusetts producer Jack Dice.
“Prauge Spring” is an infectiously rhythmic selection from the forthcoming reissue of Leven Signs’ 1985 LP Hemp is Here, arriving next month via Tulsa’s Digitalis label.
