Watch the Fourth Episode of RBMA’s ‘Diggin’ in the Carts’ Series

The latest episode of Red Bull Music Academy‘s Diggin’ in the Carts series has landed, with the new 17-minute installment taking a closer look at the music and composers behind some of Sega’s most influential games. Again, the series taps the likes of Flying Lotus, ikonika, Thundercat, Fatima Al Qadiri, J-Rocc, and others for some insightful commentary between discussing the creation of the funk-laced soundtrack for Sonic the Hedgehog, the club-inspired music of Streets of Rage, and other Sega titles with the composers themselves. Diggin’ in the Carts‘ fourth episode can be watched in its entirety below.

Ssaliva “Tromeo”

This Saturday, September 27, is Cassette Store Day, a day celebrating the tape format that has become increasingly popular with budding labels and established entities alike in recent years. Appropriately enough, Matthewdavid’s Leaving imprint—a forerunner in the cassette renaissance—has prepared a special release for the occasion, tapping Belgian beatmaker Ssaliva for a full-length effort entitled Pantani. Pulled from the 11-track affair is “Tromoeo,” a beat fueled by sparse, crooked rhythms and bathed in lush synth tones and crystallized textures. The tune can be grabbed below before Ssaliva’s Pantani cassette hits stores on Saturday; the album will also be available in digital stores on September 30.

Sage Caswell to Release New EP via Archie Pelago Music

Increasingly active LA-based producer and recent Bubblin’ Up artist Sage Caswell will issue his next effort via the eponymous label of Brooklyn’s Archie Pelago trio. Entitled Good to See You/To Be Continued, the four-track EP will serve as the first release from an outside artist to appear on Archie Pelago Music, which has issued three records from the prolific ensemble since launching in May of 2013. Caswell’s upcoming EP is said to find the burgeoning SoCal aritst “further testing the balance of dark and light textures” while delivering three original cuts marked by murky, soul-touched soundscapes and deep-burrowing rhythms. Furthermore, the EP’s closing effort will find Archie Pelago adding their “overdubs” to Caswell’s “Buyerside” production, a cut which also appeared on the Brooklyn outfit’s 2013 Resident Advisor podcast.

Sage Caswell’s Good to See You/To Be Continued EP will land via Archie Pelago Music on November 3. In the meantime, its artwork and tracklist have been included below.

Robert Hood Announces Upcoming 20th Anniversary Compilation for M-Plant

2014 has seen pioneering Detroit DJ/producer Robert Hood celebrate the 20th anniversary of his M-Plant label with a slew of releases which revisited, re-edited, and remixed classic cuts from the label’s back catalog (he also sat down for a 20 Questions session with us earlier this year). Now, Hood has unveiled his most ambitious plans yet to mark his label’s two-decade run, unveiling the forthcoming three-disc M-Print: 20 Years of M-Plant compilation, which is said to collect “essential Hood moments from the vast M-Plant back catalog, alongside a hoard of new, re-mastered, and unreleased material.”

M-Print is more than a compilation,” Hood explains in a press release, “I wanted it to flow like a River of Living Water instead of just a flashback. It represents the unfolding of a dream, it represents passion and determination to make something out of nothing. It’s like planting a seed in the ground and watching it grow over time into a beautiful tree.” As such, the upcoming collection has been split into three separate parts, with its first disc exploring “the imprint’s formative years and the golden age of Hood’s minimal approach,” while disc two focuses on “M-Plant material from the last five years and the re-birth of his Floorplan alias.” Lastly, the comp’s third disc is said to take shape as “a statement of intent that looks to the future of M-Plant whilst never losing sight of its past… new and unreleased tracks, re-edits, and remixes tap into classic and contemporary Hood themes.”

The 33-track M-Print compilation is set to see its release just before the year comes to a close, on December 8. In the meantime, Hood will also be reissuing (in both digital and vinyl forms) two EPs from his label’s catalog, the Protein Valve EP (originally released in 1994) and the Moveable Parts Chapter 1 EP (originally released in 1995); the EPs will see a release on October 13 and November 3, respectively.

Download Shed’s Vampire Film Soundtrack, ‘The Nos Project’

Shed has shared a recording of his score for German vampire film Nosferatu. As Resident Advisor reports, the Berlin-based producer—best known for his Detroit-influenced, melodic take on techno—initially performed the score at Berghain last November, and a “slightly stripped down version” of the composition (which was recorded in Leipzig and runs just under 84 minutes) has now been made available to stream and download here, under the title The NOS Project. The piece is only available to grab as a single track, but timestamps have been included on the download page, and we’ve listed the 16 individual tracks below.

Blastto “Windows”

A longtime Spanish DJ who recently relocated to London, Blastto will close out Heka Trax’s free summer EP series with his Windows/Point Aeri outing. Launched in July with an EP from Lee Carvallo, the series from the Nightwave-helmed label has aimed to introduce up-and-coming artists within the producer’s circle by offering small helpings of their work. Though he’s spent the better part of a decade behind the tables, Blastto is somewhat new to production, though one may not necessarily glean that from a listen to “Windows,” his new EP’s lead track. A weighted club affair, “Windows” focuses on its rhythmic content, splicing brief vocal samples and sharp synth stabs between its array of bulbous kicks, crunchy snares, and fast-paced hats. Out now, Blassto’s Windows/Point Aeri EP can be streamed in full after the jump, and grabbed for free here.

Jon Hopkins Readies ‘Asleep Versions’ for Domino

Jon Hopkins has shared details of a new EP forthcoming on Domino, which reinterprets material from his 2013 album Immunity. As Pitchfork reports, the UK artist recorded Asleep Versions last winter at Sundlaugin Studios near Reykjavik, Iceland. The EP is designed to be heard as a continuous, 25-minute whole, with each of its four “decelerated, dreamlike re-imaginings” representing a “quieter, more meditative side” of tracks from the album (which we named an XLR8R pick). Vocals from Raphaelle Standell of Braids and Blue Hawaii also feature throughout the release.

Asleep Versions will arrive on November 10 in Europe (and a day later in the US) as an individual release and as part of a limited-edition CD package, together with Immunity. A teaser trailer for the album, directed by comics illustrator Robert Hunter, can be watched below. Hopkins has also announced a brace of international tour dates; these can also be found below, along with the EP’s tracklist.

James Johnston “From the Gutter to the Stars (Honor Among Thieves Remix)”

Next month Glasgow producer James Johnston will issue his From the Gutter to the Stars EP via fresh NYC label You Are Hear. Featured alongside Johnston’s slow-burning original on the EP—which will serve as the imprint’s third release—will be a total of 7 remixes including one from Deepblak label head Aybee as well as the rework featured here from Honor Among Thieves. On its remix, the self-proclaimed “mysterious music cult” twist the record’s title track into a sparse-but-steady jaunt towards the spacier and more eccentric ends of disco-indebted electronics. Johnston’s full From the Gutter to the Stars EP is set to land on October 6.
