Remixed: Jamie xx
Those of you who listen to NPR or keep up with Pitchfork or indie music in general probably have heard the band The xx, a trio from London who make really delightful electronic pop music. Well, the guy from that group, Jamie Smith, has been putting out some really good, dubby solo tracks that have been circulating through the BBC airwaves and the internet. Well apparently he’s remixing a...
Good Find: David Lynch
Yes, David Lynch, the infamous director of such films as Blue Velvet, Mullholand Drive, and the Twin Peaks series. Here he breaks into a dreary electronic pop. Good Day Today is a great debut for Lynch in music, with a style that encapsulates his aesthetic considerably well, carrying a dark, pungent odor of ambience meets mundanity while keeping an upbeat attitude because it’s good to be...

CONVULSIVE Records now on Tumblr →
feverknife:
Hello,
Some of you may know I run a small independent label called Convulsive Records. We’ve put out a few releases over the past two years that we think are great and that you should listen to if you’re into DIY and/or avant garage/psych influenced punk.
What used to be my main tumblr Contact High is now the main site for Convulsive Records. You can see info on our releases,...

Artist Resume: Lord Boyd
Lord Boyd
With a little taste of the cosmos, anything is possible. Charles Boyd, who really goes by Lord Boyd, has that acquired taste that makes the mind tingle. Making spacey out-there space jam beats that are usually filled with synths and joy, he unzips your mind without you even thinking about it! Don’t worry if he takes the wheel though, because he’s got everything under...
Good Find: Stoic
Stoic
Stoic is a guy by the name of Alex Glueck from St. Petersburg, Florida who is more than your average hip hop head. A coffee-shop employee/student by day, beat-maker by night, Stoic’s production is on par with that of DJ Shadow. Using mostly analog equipment, basic turntables, and sticking to vinyl as his main sample source, his beats are jazzy and chill, with a very elegant...
Mixtape Mash: 20JFG Podcast – Speculator (part 2)
I gotta say, I’m thoroughly impressed with the work that the boys men over at 20 jazz funk greats are doing on the music blogosphere. Everything they post normally is the right amount of out-there funk/garage/jazz/experimental rarities that you wouldn’t find anywhere else. Not only that, the writing is ace. A well balanced amount of cosmic perspective mixed with a sci-fi modernist...

KILTER - Fall In Love (Slum Village Orchestral Remix)
WOW this is a great track to start off a column series-to-be. I was goofin’ around on Soundcloud and came across a producer by the name of KILTER, a dude, Ned East who is based out of Sydney, Australia, and he put together a BEAUTIFUL rendition of an already beautiful song, Fall In Love by the legendary hip hop group Slum Village....
Fresh: TPOBPAH - Heart In Your Heartbreak
The Pains of Being Pure at Heart
Some pop music just warms my heart. There’s nothing better than belching your heart out to your favorite Squeeze single while faking a terrible british accent. Or, after a devastating break up, pop music can console the soul, and there are only two artists who truely understand what you’re going through: Prince, and The Pains of Being Pure at Heart....
Look Out: The Sunshine Factory
The Sunshine Factory
Whenever you hear the term “classic”, you’d normally think old dusty boring shit that your high school english teacher forced down your throat to help you understand reality better…somehow. But, to me, something that’s classic just means it’s some real ass shit and not many people can handle it. Classical music is kept alive for being...
Good Find: heRobust
For all you intergalactic internet space travelers out there who are looking for love in all the wrong places, let me lead you in the right direction. Atlanta based electronic artist heRobust is probably somewhere right now making ridiculous dream-hop electronica in his mom’s basement with the lights off and his headphones on while smoking dro blunts by the dozen. The shit this guy’s...

To start this off, I’ve sent gotten some info from the the up and coming sample artist, S∆VCLOUD, who is a young lad of 21 from the Los Angelas area, and he’s making crazy...
Good Find: Lay Bac
So I was just stumblin, you know googlin and shit, listening to that badass C Powers mixtape I posted earlier, when that badass Lay Bac track came on and I was like damn that shit is badass. So I searched for it, came across a track, Stay Out Tonight on the blog SEE THE LEAVES (If you hear a phantom advertisement it’s on the corner of the page). But Lay Bac also has a Bandcamp and you can...
