P. Morris Details Upcoming ‘Beloved’ EP

Having previously operated under the moniker Morri$, the now LA-based producer Philesciono Canty reemerged as P. Morris earlier this year, issuing his Debut mixtape under the new alias in February. Now, Canty plans to follow up that release with a new EP, Beloved, which will arrive later this month. Set to drop via the artist’s own Bear Club label, the record will offer six new productions from P. Morris. Though not included on the EP, the man’s “Lunette [incomplete]” track is said to indicate which direction Canty’s dark, hip-hop-leaning beats are heading. That track can be streamed in full below where Beloved‘s artwork and tracklist have also been included; the EP will see a digital release on October 28.

Check Out New Mixes from Objekt, Deadboy, Palms Trax, and Teki Latex

A flurry of impressive new mixes have surfaced online from Berlin producers Objekt (pictured above) and Palms Trax, as well as Numbers affiliate Deadboy and Sound Pellegrino label co-head Teki Latex.

First, we have Objekt’s mix for self-titled’s podcast series, a 40-minute voyage into dense electronics which is said to highlight some of the musical reference points which helped form Flatland, his forthcoming debut LP for PAN. Objekt’s new mix can be streamed and downloaded below, while its full tracklist can be peeped here.

Secondly, Berlin transplant and Lobster Theremin affiliate Palms Trax (who, we should point out, is a regular contributor on XLR8R) has put together the latest mix for the Electronic Explorations podcast series. “Electronic Explorations is a series I’ve been listening to for a number of years,” he tells the site, “so I wanted to record something that drew heavily on the sort of sounds it has exposed me too. It’s fairly hazy, and probably the most ‘techno’ mix I’ll ever make.” Palms Trax’s full new mix—which includes cuts from Donato Dozzy, Black Jazz Consortium, Terrence Dixon, and more—can be streamed and downloaded here.

Next, the latest mix for the Truants blog comes courtesy of Numbers affiliate Deadboy, whose session includes a number of forthcoming productions from the London artist, including a collaboration with fellow UK beatmaker Murlo. The hour-long set can be heard and grabbed via the player below, while its full tracklist and Truants’ extensive interview with Deadboy can be found here.

Lastly, Parisian DJ/producer Teki Latex recently shared his Deconstructed Trance Reconstructed mix, which blends drum-less “grime tracks with trance influences and naked synth lead loops from proper trance tool albums” with “hard-hitting drum tracks from all genres” for an intriguingly unique session. Said to have been mixed entirely live on three CDJs, Teki Latex’s new mix can be streamed and download below, while a full explanation of the concept behind it can be found here.

Young Magic “Something in the Water (Roland Tings Remix)”

Earlier this year, Brooklyn-based pair Young Magic (pictured above) dropped its Breathing Statues LP via Carpark, a record which presented 10 dense electronic-pop hybrids. Now, slow and spacious album cut “Something in the Water” has received a remix treatment from increasingly active Australian producer Roland Tings, who imbues the track with a more pulsing momentum, while wrapping new layers of bubbling analog synths around the original track’s cavernous vocals. This free remix comes ahead of a number of Young Magic tour dates, which will first find the outfit traveling around New York later this month before heading down for its first-ever Australian tour in November; the group’s full list of upcoming live dates have been included after the jump.

October 11 O+ Festival – Kingston, NY
October 14 Baby’s All Right – Brooklyn, NY
October 21 – 25 CMJ – NYC (Exact Venues/Dates TBA)
November 21 Oxford Art Factory – Sydney, Australia
November 22 Shebeen – Melbourne, Australia
November 27 Black Bear Lodge – Brisbane, Australia
November 28 Elsewhere – Gold Coast, Australia

Stream Detroit Producer Community Corporation’s Upcoming EP for Argot

Before it lands via Steve Mizek’s Argot imprint next week, the upcoming Aquifer EP from budding Detroit artist Community Corporation is now streaming in full on XLR8R.

On Aquifer, the rising Midwest talent presents four diverse explorations into slightly unhinged and soul-steeped dancefloor material. Opener “Crystalis” cuts gliding strings and jittery synth melodies with a stumbling shuffle and bits of amp noise, while the following “Patent Lies” and “Subterranean Limestone” utilize jacking drum-machine patterns to lead the way through their soul-swung, synth-soaked runs; leaving “Sunken Water Table” to close the effort on its most abstract note with a production that recalls the futuristic jazz explorations of Afrikan Sciences and Aybee.

Community Corporation’s Aquifer EP is set to land in stores on October 14. Before then, the record is streaming in its entirety below.

Mister Saturday Night Announces Upcoming Live Mix Album

Brooklyn loft party-turned-record label Mister Saturday Night (helmed by DJs Eamon Harkin and Justin Carter) has revealed plans to issue an 18-track mix album recorded live at one of the crew’s August parties. Entitled Weekends and Beginnings, the mix clocks in at 77 minutes and incorporates tracks from Motor City Drum Ensemble, Mr. G, Anthony Parasole, Bassclef, and more. Recorded at one of the pair’s outdoor summer parties, Mister Sunday, the set is said to actively shift shades and tempos throughout, making it “just as suitable for home and headphone consumption as it is for a party.”

“Before we’re producers of parties and guys running a record label, we’re DJs,” the pair expressed in the mix’s accompanying press release. “Everything else we do with Mister Saturday Night and Mister Sunday comes from our desire to play records for people. That’s what we’re putting forward on Weekends and Beginnings.” Mister Saturday Night’s upcoming mix album will see its release on November 18; before then, the record’s full tracklist has been included below. In addition, the Brooklyn duo’s recent contribution to the XLR8R podcast series can be streamed and downloaded here.

Stream Matias Aguayo’s New ‘Legende’ EP in Full

Kompakt has shared a full stream of Legende, the most recent offering from longtime label affiliate Matias Aguayo. As we reported back in August, the EP deviates slightly from the percussive, vocal-driven style of Aguayo’s earlier material; here, the Berlin-based Chilean producer (who also serves as the head of Cómeme) makes use of lush, dreamy synths and sings in German for the first time. “Legends are memories,” Aguayo says of the concept behind the EP, “but memories of a glorified past, that becomes legendary only in our mind, not necessarily in reality.”

Officially released earlier this week, Legende can be heard in full below (and will remain available to stream for the next week, according to Kompkat). A recent XLR8R feature with Aguayo—touching on 10 need-to-know facts about the artist—can also be found here.

C Powers “Phoenix Down”

Burgeoning Stateside label CGI has built a small but solid catalog since its founding last year, counting records from budding producers such as Alex Falk and Golden Donna to its run. Now, CGI is set to issue its next release later this month in the form of the four-track Up Neck from Savannah, Georgia-based producer C Powers. Pulled from the record’s b-side is “Phoenix Down,” a tough and heavy house track which smears sludgy sample manipulations and machine-made percussion stabs across a burrowing rhythmic structure that digs deeper as the track moves throughout its five-minute run. C Powers’ Up Neck EP is set to see an official release on October 30; in the meantime, those interested in getting a more comprehensive introduction to the world of CGI can check out label head TWINS‘ recent mix—which plots the The Future Sound of CGI Records—after the jump.

Druture Readies EP for Grizzly, Streams Track

Druture—formerly one half of the duo Grown Folk—has detailed an upcoming EP for Grizzly, sharing a stream of EP cut “High Tide” in the process. Slated for release later this month, Uh Oh! marks the second offering from Drew Kim’s solo project; following his departure from Grown Folk, the Atlanta-based producer reportedly began delving back into his early love of hip-hop and grime, which resulted in last November’s “ode to the Chicago rap scene,” Out of Towners Vol.1. This latest effort includes collaborative tracks with both Grizzly label head Sinden and Dro Carey (a.k.a. Tuff Sherm), and also commissions remixes from Ango and Aquarian.

Uh Oh! will see an official release on October 13, and until then, the premiere of “High Tide” can be heard in full below.

1. Druture & Sinden – Uh Oh!
2. Druture – High Tide
3. Druture & Dro Carey – Tier Zero

Second Storey Double Divide

Formerly operating under the name Al Tourettes, London-based artist Alec Storey began creating music as Second Storey in 2013 with his Margosa Heights EP. The four-track release confidently marked the addition of yet another talent to Houndstooth’s impressive and ever-increasing roster, and now he’s returned to the Fabric-housed label with his new LP, Double Divide.

Given that Houndstooth recently issued Call Super’s feverishly well-received Suzi Ecto, one could be concerned that Double Divide runs the danger of living in that album’s shadow. However, such worries are quickly subdued, as the initial synth lines of LP opener “North Facing” set the tone for a record that quickly proves to be both rich and complex in equal measure. There are contrasts on display here; Double Divide often presents atmospheric soundscapes before swiftly moving on to functional club works. Still, a delightfully infectious rhythm ties the entire LP together and Storey’s influences are on display throughout. The first notes of “Combustion Hallmark” reference Bernard Parmegian, whilst the rest of the track could feasibly have been lifted from the cutting room floor of Objekt’s studio. Meanwhile, the murky kickdrum of “Shaman Champagne” gives a nod to Neil Landstrumm. Machine-driven funk and full-bodied low tones are the lynchpins of this record, providing a driving forward momentum throughout.

Things turn slightly frantic towards the end of the album, with “Trope” in particular grabbing the listener’s attention with a barrage of high keys before the entire thing comes to an abrupt stop and the twisted vocal of the penultimate track emerges. Final track “Chordelia” is perhaps the weakest song on offer here, as it lacks the focus and tightness that is so apparent elsewhere. That said, the change of pace does nicely bookend the more dancefloor-ready material contained within Double Divide‘s middle, even if “Chordelia” doesn’t quite match the quality of the record’s opening salvo.

Lucrecia Dalt Streams New Track from Upcoming EP for Other People

Pop surrealist Lucrecia Dalt has shared the lead track from her forthcoming 10″ for Nicolas Jaar’s Other People imprint. The Berlin-based artist—who largely deals in cerebral electronic music—will deliver Dalt later this month as the successor her 2013 LP, Syzygy. Making its premiere via Boiler Room Debuts, a-side cut “Esotro” is described as “a prime slab of bass driven minimalism” and can be heard in full below, before Dalt (tracklist below) sees an official release on October 27.
