Mr. Lee

It’s about that time – time for another Lee Webster update. If you missed it, Lee put together a pumpin’ garage mix for us a month ago, which you can download here.

First up, this’ Lee’s newest production, and possibly one of my favorites to date – submerging into a dark, thunderous world of heavy, winding, bass lines, and spiraling, bleepy synths, shrouded in a spooky, ghoulish vocal reprise.

Who Cares – Lee Webster

Warm, slammin’ groove enhanced by a plodding sense of (well conceived) space – the kind that only comes with maturity (which I’ve seen Lee grow into even more so over the last year). Simple, yet effective dub, for anything after-hours. Vibes.

Now Be (Dub mix) – LW

Smooooth, organ heavy production out of left field, led by a simple, flat, thudding bass line.

Work this – Lee Webster

Members Only – Citizen

May 16, 2012

Yesterday was a bit of a slow day for new music, but today’s string of discoveries, doubly makes up for yesterday’s absence (as if you even noticed)… Londoner, Citizen, starts out with much of the usual deep house sentiments with his new track, Members Only – further listening, has led me to see that this rugged slice of soulful, Chicago-era-inspired house (which is maybe not so usual) – maybe it’s the thrashing cymbals, or maybe it’s in the grumbling (unpredictable) percussive breaks – exceeds ‘the usual’ parameters by a couple hundred miles and then some. Full stamp of approval. Grab the free download below and see for yourself.

Members Only – Citizen

I’m kicking myself – after promising never to post a Rolling In The Deep remix, here I am, posting one. Nevertheless, (with the following cut as incontrovertible proof), it’s fair to say Citizen has his hand on the pulse of something really dope here. This is a ‘new’ act destined for big (and badder) things. Put him on your radar stat. Check out his SoundCloud here.

Waves City

Started scrambling, right when I heard this, to find information about the Scottish Producer that’s calling himself Drums of Death. This is so new, that’s right so new, that all I can actually report is what I read under the rip of the song on Youtube. If you like what you hear, all I know at this point is that Waves City, taken from the Scottsmans’ Ep, Blue Waves, is the final part of an Ep trilogy. More info here. This is gonna’ be a classic – they don’t get any classier than this either.

Free Good Vibes

Sort of late to the party on this one, but Cosmic Kids are now, officially a new point of interest on my music map. Since hearing their Desire Remix, which was released ages ago, I’ve been mildly obsessed with the L.A. duo. I started investigating a little bit and was able to yank this killer little edit of a track called Gee Up–originally performed by an artist (that definitely rivals in terms of coolness) named Kindness–off their SoundCloud. Enjoy!

Gee Up (Cosmic Kids Edit) – Kindness

Flume does just wonders and them some with this remix for Australia’s, Dilla-obsessed, Ta-Ku. B-e-a-utiful, summery banger right here thanks to Future Classic. Get on it!

Brooklyn Nights Ep

May 14, 2012

Being a solid supporter of both Fantastic Man and Edit Murphy left me no other choice, but to slap this up before practically even listening to it. Taken from Edit Murphy’s forthcoming Brooklyn Nights Ep on Smoke N’ Mirrors (not to be confused with Smoke and Mirrors), the release will include two originals, Need You (which was recently featured on Om Records‘ stellar, Om Lounge Compilation) and Brooklyn Nights. In addition to the fantastic remix from Fantastic Man, aka Mic Newman below, the Pillow Talk trio, from San Fran will also be making their appearance with a remix of Need You. Coming soon. Stay tuned.
