Appleblim has been using Joe‘s “Untitled” as a secret weapon in sets for months now, so it’s no surprise that his Apple Pips label is set to release the track along with “Digest,” a more experimental B-side, this July. Merging a minimal sensibility with jungle funk and hints of grime, the Hessle-associated producer’s tracks are pleasing in both the contexts of the bedroom and the dancefloor, as they straddle the line between head music and body music perfectly.

Joe’s Untitled/Digest 12″ comes out in July.

German DJ/producer and Modeselektor buddy Siriusmo just announced he’ll be releasing some fresh bits of his strangely funky, club-friendly dance tunes, starting with a new EP and followed up by a new album. July 2 will bring The Plasterer of Love EP, a five-song affair that comes about a year after Siriusmo’s last release, The Uninvited Guest, and an album is said to be arriving sometime in the spring of next year. Both releases will be made available via Modeselektor’s label, Monkeytown. Check out Plasterer‘s artwork and tracklist below.

A1 The Plasterer of Love
A2 Katharsis Impossible
A3 Blaue Sonne
B1 Einmal in der Woche schreien

Hyperdub headmaster and DJ/producer extraordinaire Kode9 took over a small corner of the internet today with some free downloadable goodies. He put together an exclusive mix for FACT, which comes a couple weeks before his contribution to !K7‘s DJ-KiCKS series, and about 10 days before his Off-Sonar party with Ikonika, Darkstar, Cooly G, and more at Club Mondo in Barcelona. The mix is a smoothly executed DJ set featuring “mostly ’94-’96 jungle” artists such as DJ SS, Lemon D, and Urban Jungle. Also premiering today is a free original production taken from Kode9’s forthcoming mix album for !K7, “You Don’t Wash (Dub).” That download is available here, and you can check out the FACT mix here.

Thicket is a new app for the iPhone/iPad by Anticipate artists Joshue Ott and Morgan Packard. Combining their individual styles in interactive visuals and sound, respectively, they have increasingly been channeling their performance, production, and programming expertise into a shared workspace that supports each direction.

The app is an audiovisual world of texture, movement, line, and tone. Spending time with Thicket, the user creates sonic and visual patterns within a space of warm, bright tones and evolving, elegant scrawls. Working with gesture to affect audio and visual responses, Thicket brings a playful, tactile intuitiveness to a world that might otherwise require a higher learning curve. Equally amenable to casual playing, intense exploration, or performance (the iPad version supports VGA output), Thicket is open-ended enough to allow discovery within its defined landscape. Check out some videos of the app in action after the jump!

Download the app for $1.99 at the iTunes store now.

In an unfortunate turn of events, New York’s multi-purpose event space BKLYN Yard was forced to shut its doors and cancel all of its scheduled events, including the awesome Sunday Best concert series. The production company behind the Yard, MeanRed, was refused a continuance on its lease, and was asked to take down everything it had built up in its Carroll Gardens home that made the spot so unique. On the loss of this space, MeanRed shared, “BKLYN Yard is a labor of love for MeanRed, rooted in our core company values: love for artists, food, music, and community. We are sad to see our passion project go in its brightest year, and are sad to let down all the people who have supported and worked with us for the past three summers.” Sunday Best will continue on with its schedule tentatively at the Little Field space, so be on the lookout for the next spot MeanRed decides to pop up.
