Coki Announces North American Tour

Digital Mystikz stalwart and first-generation dubstep innovator Coki has just announced that he’ll land stateside for a 10-date tour next month. After kicking off his voyage in Montreal on August 14, the London producer/DJ will eventually make his way out west, meeting up with fellow DMZ founder Mala in Los Angeles to deliver a rare US performance together as Digital Mystikz. Coki is also set to touch down in Texas, Oregon, Michigan, and NYC as part of his North American jaunt. The full list of Coki’s upcoming tour dates are included on the flier below.

Download Jonwayne’s ‘Marion Morrison Mixtape’ for Stones Throw

After last week’s unveiling of a jazzy track he co-produced with LA beatsmith Mndsgn, prolific DJ/producer/MC Jonwayne has just dropped the final installment of his cassette-based trilogy for Stones Throw. The 37-minute Marion Morrison Mixtape sees Jonwayne collaborating with the likes of Captain Murphy (a.k.a. Flying Lotus‘ rap alias), Oliver The 2nd, and recentWarp signee Jeremiah Jae. Below, the Marion Morrison Mixtape can be streamed in full; a free download of the 11-track offering is available here.

Stream a New Track from dBridge

We heard dBridge‘s collaboration with fellow Brit Skeptical last month, and now, the drum & bass veteran has shared yet another track from his upcoming Move Way EP, set for release on R&S. “Death of a Drum Machine” rides tense chords into a groove that settles in for the long haul, effectively cementing dBridge’s place as a multi-talented producer who isn’t afraid to cross genre lines. Move Way is due out on August 13.

Rachael Boyd “Pace It (Kelpe Remix)”*Abandon Building *

London beat constructor Kelpe has maintained what we imagine to be a rather busy schedule so far this year—helming his own Drut imprint, turning in an accomplished LP with Fourth: The Golden Eagle, and certainly not shying away from remix duties. The latest artist to enlist Kelpe’s services is Rachael Boyd, a Belfast-based musician and vocalist whose lush “Pace It”—built from layers of soothing violin and glistening piano—is carefully brought into more head-nodding territory on this remix. Boyd’s original tune and Kelpe’s rework will appear alongside a handful of other original tracks and additional remixes—including the one we posted earlier this year by Sun Glitters—when the UK songstress’ Too High EP drops on August 6.

Underground Resistance, Anthony Naples, and More Added to Unsound 2013

2013’s version of Polish festival Unsound is already shaping up to be quite a diverse affair, consisting of acts knee-deep in the more experimental realms of electronic music alongside artists known for more traditional dancefloor-oriented sounds. And Unsound 2013 has just shared another list of performers who are set to join the likes of Karenn, RP Boo, King Midas Sound, and Laurel Halo. Among the freshly named artists are iconic Detroit collective Underground Resistance (appearing on the bill as Interstellar Fugitives), rising Brooklyn artist Anthony Naples (pictured above), Hippos in Tanks mainstays James Ferraro and Dean Blunt, L.I.E.S. affiliate Svengalisghost, and UNO-associated acts like Arca and Gobby.

Watch Sampha Perform “Indecision” Live

Frequent SBTRKT collaborator announcement of his debut EP for Young Turks, and now that his record has been released, the UK singer/producer has given us a glimpse into his creative process with a new video shot by Yours Truly. Filmed in his home studio, Sampha’s new video details his motivations for creating music when he first started producing, as well as sharing the story of his childhood piano, which remains in his living room today. The stripped-down performance of “Indecision,” taken from the just-released Dual EP, is a somber and rare glimpse into Sampha’s soulful vocals, and can be viewed below.

Mount Kimbie “Slow (Druid Cloak Club Cosmos Bootleg)”**

Nameless producer Druid Cloak has just posted three bootleg remixes of his favorite tracks of the year thus far, including new versions of songs from Mount Kimbie, Lone, and Breach. The elusive American artist—who has released EPs on Symbols and Infinite Machine—has been gaining attention for his otherworldly productions and remixes, and his “Club Cosmos Bootleg” of Mount Kimbie‘s “Slow” is sure to elicit a similar response. In Druid Cloak’s hands, the original tune—taken from Mount Kimbie’s recent Cold Spring Fault Less Youth album—is given a skittering, slippery rework, underpinned by the kind of gloopy, synth-ladden stuff the producer has become known for. The collection of the three bootlegs is available as a free download from Druid Cloak’s Facebook.
