Former RBMA graduate—and a producer we pointed to as a budding Artist to Watch in 2013—Yosi Horikawa has unveiled details of his forthcoming debut full-length effort which will drop late next month via the First Word label. Entitled Vapor, the sixteen-track effort will serve as the first long-form release from the Japanese artist whose unique approach to beatmaking incorporates detailed sound-design work and a large range of musical influences. Before the Vapor LP sees an official release on June 24, the forthcoming record’s artwork and tracklist can be found below.

Musician, producer, artist, author, lecturer—the list goes on—Brian Eno has certainly made his presence felt at this year’s Red Bull Music Academy. The man’s 77 Million Paintings installation has taken up a new home in Manhattan as part of RBMA, and Eno has given a number of talks in the process, one of which has made it onto the web and can now be watched in full. The 80-minute discussion covers a wide range of topics, beginning with a somewhat lofty examination of art as a form of human release and onto considering contemporary music and Eno’s recent collaborations with artists such as James Blake. As to be expected, the lecture proves to be interesting, entertaining, informative, and immensely thought-provoking. The full video can be watched here.

When we picked out Cardiff tunesmith Cayne Ramos (a.k.a. The Organ Grinder) as an Artist to Watch during our Bubblin’ Up Week earlier this year, we didn’t neccesarily forsee how difficult it was going to be to keep up with the producer’s quiet moves. Fortunately, we’ve been tipped off to the fact that the man’s next release is on its way, with a new EP set to appear on Gerd’s 4lux imprint in the coming weeks. The four-track Dancing Angel EP will mark The Organ Grinder’s return to 4lux, who issued his solid Enoonami EP late last year. While the forthcoming Dancing Angel EP does not have an exact release date, its four soul-drenched efforts—one of which features fellow UK producer Chesus (of C.R.S.T.)—can be previewed here.

The incomparable UK DJ/producer Four Tet has been in New York this week, and just before he headlined last night’s excellent RBMA showcase with Jon Hopkins and Koreless at Webster Hall, the artist born Kieran Hebden dropped an excellent mix on Tim Sweeney’s Beats in Space radio show. The hour-plus mix finds Four Tet delivering lots of unreleased material, fresh jams, and a handful of older tracks (i.e. Prince). There’s a bit of banter with the host, as well, during which Hebden hints at a forthcoming album for his own Text imprint and says he might be “retired” from doing remixes. The broadcast can be streamed and downloaded via the player below, where most of the tracklist can also be found. (via FACT)

London duo Dusky apparently likes to keep busy. With its Nobody Else EP dropping just over a month ago and the pair’s remix abilities constantly being called upon—not to mention dropping an impressive podcast for XLR8R back in February—Dusky have certainly had a hot hand lately. Keeping that momentum going, the outfit has announced the forthcoming Vanishing Point EP, set to appear on the Naked Naked imprint early next month. Dusky’s three-track contribution to the label will mark Naked Naked’s first release to not involve the talents of its founder, Ben Westbeech (a.k.a. Breach), who has contributed to records for his own label alongside Midland and Dark Sky. Nonetheless, the upcoming EP is said to find Dusky, “at [its] very best; carving out new rules in what it means to produce UK house and techno.” We’ll have to wait until the record drops on June 3 to find out exactly what that sounds like, but for now, the forthcoming EP’s artwork and tracklist are included below.

One of the many SoCal beatmakers affiliated with the Friends of Friends label, Groundislava, who was all overXLR8R last year when he dropped his Feel Me album, has announced that he’ll soon be hitting the road with fellow West Coast producer oOoOO, sharing a bit of new music in the process. The new Treasure Chest EP arrives 11 tracks strong, with one never-before-heard original track called “Time Alone” pairing with a batch of 10 remixes for the likes of Shlohmo, Kanye West, Trey Songz, Nicki Minaj, and Drake. Groundislava is offering the batch of tunes as a “name your price” download before his North American tour gets underway on May 16 in Austin, TX. Treasure Chest can be streamed in the player below, where the tour dates can also be perused.
