Last month, word came down that UK producer Throwing Snow (a.k.a. Ross Tones) would soon be dropping his debut full-length as a solo artist. Entitled Mosaic, the LP is still awaiting release—it’s scheduled to appear via Houndstooth on June 2—but today, Tones has elected to share another one of its tracks. “Avarice” is an interesting cut, one which combines a crunchy, growling low end with an emotive violin melody. While the structure is most definitely modern, the song’s aesthetic recalls classic dubstep, or perhaps even trip-hop’s golden era. (We mean those comparisons in a good way.) “Avarice” is streaming in full below.

After recently sharing “NRG-106″—the b-side cut to Bicep‘s forthcoming effort for Will Saul’s Aus label—the Irish pair has now made available a full stream of the upcoming Circles EP’s title track.

Out later this month, “Circles” leads off Bicep’s upcoming two-track affair with a deep excursion into stripped-back, hi-hat-fueled house. Fashioned around a robust bassline and the occasional addition of thick analog pads, the song stays true to its name, hunkering down between cyclical rhythms for most of the its six-plus-minute run. Bicep’s latest production can be streamed in full below before the Circles EP drops on May 19.

After collaborating on the inaugural release for Brooklyn’s fledgling Peach label last year (the “Vines” b/w “Pyrex” 12″ alongside fellow LA producer Sage Caswell), A Club Called Rhonda regular Cromie has announced plans to return to the label with a new solo effort next month. The four-track Inner Knows EP is said to find Cromie—who we highlighted as an Artist to Watch earlier this year—presenting a “revved up set of idiosyncratic dancefloor weapons.” From the sounds of the record’s preview stream, the SoCal producer will dip into a few different corners of deep, shuffling house on Inner Knows, which will also come backed by a remix from Suzanne Kraft.

Cromie’s upcoming solo effort will see a release on June 23, but before then its four tracks can be previewed below.

Berlin-by-way-of-London-by-way-of-Los Angeles producer Urulu will return to the NYC-based Let’s Play House imprint with the four-track Moon Unit EP next month. Set to include three originals from the budding artist, alongside a remix from Ben La Desh, Urulu’s upcoming effort is said to be a “a spacier, loopier, and looser offering” than his previous outing for the label, last year’s Left Coast EP. To that point, Moon Unit‘s title cut is described as a “dense, syncopated, seven-minute-long jam,” while EP track “Sounds Like Sumo” is said to be “more noodling and melodious,” and the following “Lunar Larry” as the record’s “most luscious and most abstract” production.

Urulu’s Moon Unit EP is scheduled to see an official release in vinyl form on June 16, with a digital release following on June 30. In the meantime, the upcoming record’s artwork and tracklist are included below.

Red Bull Music Academy has launched a new video series, beat:repeat, through which the institution aims to chronicle the stories behind seminal songs from decades past. In its first episode, RBMA continues exploring the storied history of New York’s Paradise Garage and influential post-disco DJ Larry Levan, uncovering the making of The Peech Boys‘ 1981 production “Don’t Make Me Wait.” The first beat:repeat mini-doc focuses around Michael de Benedictus (pictured above), a keyboardist and collaborator of Levan’s who explains the role of the Linn Drum—and, in particular its handclap sample—in the making of “Don’t Make Me Wait,” a track which would go on to become the Paradise Garage’s first bonafide anthem.

The debut episode of beat:repeat can be watched below, while RBMA’s recent collection of the top 100 Paradise Garage tracks can be heard here.

Boasting a stacked list of contributors which includes Jimmy Edgar, Dixon, Eprom, SCNTST, and Photek, Claude VonStroke‘s Urban Animal RMXS album can now be streamed in its entirety. Out this week via VonStroke’s own Dirtybird label, the 12-track remix album serves as a follow-up to last year’s Urban Animal LP, and, much like that record, the resulting remix collection covers a number of genres and styles during its run.

Beginning with Solomun’s take on “The Clapping Track,” the full Urban Animal RMXS album can be streamed via the video playlist below, or by heading to Dirtybird’s YouTube page here.

A number of new mixes have surfaced on the web today, with three standouts sets coming from Detroit veteran Mike Huckaby (pictured above), NYC mainstay Jacques Renault, and fast-rising London DJ/producer Citizen.

First up, Mike Huckaby delivers an hour-long set of space-age house and techno for Dubspot‘s podcast series. The mix, which focuses on classic Chicago and Detroit records from Huckaby’s crates, is intended as a preview to his performance at Detorit’s Movement Festival, set to get underway later this month. The full set and Dubspot’s accompanying interview with the time-tested DJ/producer can be found here.

Next, headphone designers AIAIAI have tapped Let’s Play House boss Jacques Renault for the third episode in its ongoing podcast series. Said to have been recorded live, the house-heavy, synth-streaked mix can be heard in full via the player below.

Lastly, London resident Citizen was invited to put together a mix for Bicep‘s monthly Feel My Bicep show on Rinse FM. Originally aired last night, Citizen’s hour-long, deep-reaching set can be streamed in full below.

After announcing the imminent release of its third LP, The Feast of the Broken Heart, back in March, Andy Butler’s Hercules & Love Affair collective has shared a new video for album cut “I Try to Talk to You.” Accompanying the piano-led track (which features vocalist John Gran) is a series of black-and-white images that capture an impassioned dance performance symbolizing a conflict in a relationship. The clip’s back-and-forth movements mirror the push-and-pull of Grant’s lyrics, which describe a frustrating lack of communication between lovers as Hercules & Love Affiar’s disco-striped track steadily rolls along.

Directed by David Wilson, the video for “I Try to Talk to You” can be watched in full below before The Feast of the Broken Heart drops on May 26 via Moshi Moshi.
