At the start of this month, we were treated to the first single from Jackson and His Computerband‘s forthcoming second album for Warp, Glow, set to follow-up his debut eight years after the fact. Today, the Parisian producer has delivered a second track from his upcoming record. “Arp #1” is a bouncy, disco-inspired tune with an inherently melodic side that is tempered by the track’s rough, digital scree. Before Glow drops on September 3, Jackson and His Computerband’s new tune can be heard in the player below.

After operating for over a year as an anonymous outfit, the Manchester residents of Akkord dropped a new mix today while also revealing the identity of its two producers. As it turns out, the production pair is in fact the combined efforts of Bubblin’ Up artist Synkro and fellow Mancunian Indigo, who—following the success of its recentNavigate EP for Fabric sub-label Houndstooth—were tapped by Resident Advisor to issue its latest podcast. Akkord also discusses the origins of its project and its forthcoming full-length debut in a brief interview, which can be found alongside the pair’s new mix, here.

Ever-prolific Brooklyn label L.I.E.S. has already had a strong year, releasing singles from Terekke, Steve Summers, Delroy Edwards, and Florian Kupfer, among others, as well as a full-length from Marcos Cabral (which can be streamed in full, here). And now, the Ron Morelli-headed imprint has just announced its next batch of 12″s, which are set to arrive from a mix of newcomers and previous collaborators. As Juno Plus points out, Miami-based purveyor of skewed house Greg Beato will release the PMA 12″, while Chicago producer Beau Wanzer—who has already appeared on L.I.E.S. as one half of Mutant Beat Dance—is due to release a self-titled EP. More familiar L.I.E.S. artists Bookworms and Jahiliyya Fields will also be dropping their own records, entitled Japanese Zelkova and Pleasure Sentence, respectively. No exact release details have been revealed as yet, but the artwork and tracklist for each release can be found below.

Furthermore, L.I.E.S. has inaugurated a brand-new mix series aiming to feature its artists, as well as “selected artists affiliated with the label,” the first of which is an hour-plus podcast from New York DJ/producer Gunnar Haslam. As the label puts it, “Here, he provides us with a nice long excursion spanning all your favorite genres, sub-genres, and sub-sub-genres. Expertly mixed, well paced, and, yes, even a couple of nice surprises if you’re patient.” L.I.E.S. Podcast 001 can be streamed and downloaded for free, below.

UK producers Sigha and Shifted have announced plans to combine their distinct production styles as A Model Authority, a collaborative project which will release its first EP late next month via the pair’s new label of the same name. As Resident Advisor reports, the artists have a rather determined vision for the project, saying that A Model Authority was “born out of the desire to rise above the very modern mediocrity and complacency that surrounds us. A stamp of hard-lined ideals in a pragmatic world, a new order, a new beginning, and a better way of living.” The simply titled Model 001 12″ will debut both the new outfit and label in late August, and is set to be released in both digital and vinyl formats. The forthcoming EP’s tracklist is included below.

A2 Etched

One of the heads of the Astro Nautico label and party series, Brooklyn-based DJ/producer Obey City recently signed to high-profile Glasgow label LuckyMe, who will release his debut EP next month. Called Champagne Sounds, the record highlights the producer’s extremely current, genre-bending diversity, presenting a series of R&B-inflected dance tracks that in some ways aren’t far off from the gossamer, hyper-colored sounds of Hudson Mohawke or Rustie. Obey City’s EP is set to drop on August 8, with follow-up vocal EP Merlot Sounds said to be planned for later this year. In the meantime, Champagne Sounds‘ artwork and tracklist can be found below, alongside a sample of the release.
