Jon Porras “Apeiron”

Better known as a member of the Thrill Jockey-affiliated Barn Owl duo, Jon Porras will release a solo LP of dark, textural compositions through the label later this month. Entitled Light Divide, Porras’ forthcoming record is led by the mammoth “Apeiron,” a seven-minute composition which reaches depths akin to a somber Andy Stott whilst still maintaining a keen sense for the more heavenly ends of ambient production. The results make for a powerfully absorbing piece that is difficult to not lose one’s self within. Before Porras’ Light Divide album sees an official release on March 25, the multi-faceted artist has also shared a self-directed video for “Apeiron,” which can be viewed after the jump.

Watch a New Video from Bok Bok and Kelela

Last week, Night Slugs co-founder Bok Bok (a.k.a. Alex Sushon) and rising R&B singer Kelela formally announced that their next collaborative single, “Melba’s Call,” would drop on March 31, and have followed up that announcement with a brand-new video for the forward-thinking song. With art direction by Sushon himself and production by Nic Hamilton, the piece features a lo-fi hologram of Kelela projected between two speakers inside a remarkable studio space, with a sizeable glass tower and lush garden filling out the background. As Bok Bok’s mechanically funky track stutters onward, laced with feathery vocals, flashes of stark lighting mirror its beat. The clip for “Melba’s Call” eventually ventures out into the rest of the space, showing something like an abandoned bachelor pad that could only exist in a dream.

Stream and Download Dutch E Germ’s New Mixtape for UNO

As it turns out, Brian DeGraw isn’t the only Gang Gang Dance alumni to turn to electronic music for their solo work; fellow New York artist and Gang Gang Dance co-founder Tim DeWit has been producing inventive sounds under his Dutch E Germ moniker for over four years now. And though he has previously worked on film soundtracks, scored fashion shows, and collaborated with the likes of Arca, DeWit’s largest release to date has only just dropped today, an 11-track mixtape for UNO called IN.RAK.DUST. Available now to stream and download in full, Dutch E Germ’s new offering is an exercise in impossible soundscapes, hyperreal sound design, and next-level beat work. The entirety of IN.RAK.DUST can heard below and downloaded for the price of an email here.

Mogi Grumbles “I Heard You Were Dead”

Presented as “an original re-score” of John Carpenter’s 1981 cult classic film Escape from New York, Alex Taam (a.k.a. Mogi Grumbles) opens floodgates of nostalgia with the cleverly named I Heard You Were Dead LP. The album’s title track employs waves of glassy retro synths and a steady beat as a slick love letter to decades gone by, providing an easy listening experience with its soft fade-out and warm textures. Mogi Grumbles’ I Heard You Were Dead LP is set to drop on March 18 via Moodgadget.

Permanent Vacation Preps New Compilation Featuring Mano Le Tough, Axel Boman, Locked Groove, Octo Octa, and More

Since 2006, the Permanent Vacation label has issued a steady stream of fun-loving house music, much of it colored by disco and/or hints of Balearic influence. Throughout it all, the Munich-based label has also managed to maintain a healthy sense of humor, and that jovial spirit certainly appears to be intact on the label’s forthcoming compilation, If This Is House, I Want My Money Back III. Continuing the playfully named series that debuted in 2009 and offered a sequel in 2011, this latest collection includes exclusive offerings from recent XLR8R podcast contributor Axel Boman (pictured above), Mano Le Tough, Locked Groove, Octo Octa, Willie Burns, and several others. The compilation’s artwork and full tracklist is below, and If This Is House, I Want My Money Back III will be officially released on May 9. (via Resident Advisor)

Gesloten Cirkel Readies Debut LP; Preview It Now

Not much is known about Gesloten Cirkel, but the Moscow-based producer has quietly delivered a small arsenal of top-shelf techno cuts in recent years, both via his releases on labels like Murder Capital and Berceuse Heroique and remixes for artists like Conforce and Mark du Mosch. Admittedly, many of these efforts—particularly Gesolten Cirkel’s originals—have been hard to track down, but he’ll soon be making a more significant statement, in the form of his first full-length. As reported by Resident Advisor and Juno Plus, the 10-track LP is called Submit X, and finds Cirkel returning to the Murder Capital imprint. The record will be officially released on April 21, but clips can be heard now at Clone. The Submit X artwork and tracklist have been posted below.

02. Zombiemachine

With Record Store Day creeping around the corner on April 19, artists in every corner of the musical landscape are announcing the special items they’ll be offering exclusively through brick-and-mortar shops.

The three-track record is called Commissions I, and, as its title implies, is a collection of works that Brooklyn producer Daniel Lopatin was commissioned to do over the years for artwork, performance, and film, including a cover of pop song “I Only Have Eyes for You.”

Available on April 19, OPN’s new 12″ will be packaged in a black foil-print jacket with a die-cut view of its inner sleeve, and will be followed by a lengthy world tour with stops in Japan, North America, Europe, the UK, and more dates to be added. The details of that string of performances can be found below, where the tracklist and information for Commissions I can be found along with a stream of opening cut “Music For Steamed Rocks.”
