Fresh off the heels of the album Black Noise, a new single release from Pantha du Prince, ‘Stick To My Side‘ is out today. Includes the original and remixes from Efdemin, Four Tet, and two bonus remix tracks from Carsten Jost & Efdemin and Walls.
The new single release from Bonobo, “Eyesdown”, is out today on Ninja Tune. The track features vocalist Andreya Triana with Bonobo’s soothing jazzy production and groovy beats. The release includes the original, instrumental and three remixes. Floating Points remix adds a bit more danceability with snappy snares and loopy samples. Warrior 1 reflects the sign of the times with a tech-house meets dubstep addition. The Appleblim & Komonazmuk remix evens the entire release out by slowing it down a bit and caressing with soft, luscious pads. All in all a very well balanced, solid release for Bonobo: a perfect way to bring in the spring season singing.
Marcell Dettmann is rightfully following in the footsteps of his Ostgut Ton label mates and releasing a full length album. Preceding his self titled debut is Dettmann Remixed. Four tracks are handed to Norman Nodge and Wincent Kunth for remix treatments. Norman Nodge takes ‘Shift’ and ‘Unrest’, Wincent Kunth ‘Vertigo’ and ‘Wound Up’. Nodge keeps it straight forward with his remixes while Kunth pulls out a couple of impressively deep grooves.
Download Amon Tobin’s remix of Noisia’s “Machine Gun” for free. A classic, artfully crafted, samplified Tobin track. Beautiful samples meshed with the original’s haunting synthesis. The track builds to the tough bass line of the original; though the majority of the is softly spoken compared to the pumping industrialized electro-house menace by Noisia. The gruesome, fascist flange war scenes are a perfect match in the video below.
It just takes an email address and a little registration to get your download. It will only be available till 3/8, when the release of “Machine Gun”, including the original, and remixes by Spor, 16bit and Amon Tobin, will be available through all major online retailers. “Machine Gun” hails from the forthcoming album Split the Atom (seems to be a popular title these days) due out 4/6.

If you’re not familiar with Koushik its time to start paying attention. His last release Out My Window came out in 2008 on Stone Throw Records(vocal and instrumental release available). Its an album that is widely unknown that needs to be visited by you and others. Its the haze of summer gently humming through the speaks, its indeed my summer time play. When we roll to the lakes beneath the Smoky Mountains, Koushik provides the background. Constant rotation!
“Koushik Ghosh, a first-generation Canadian born to two genetic engineers and brother of Himadri Ghosh from the techno group Teste, goes by just his first name as a producer and singer on Peanut Butter Wolf’s Stones Throw label. DJing since 14, Koushik grew up outside of Hamilton, Ontario, going to Indian classical singing lessons with his mother and listening to bands like My Bloody Valentine and Funkadelic, and later on, Madlib and Jay Dee. After completing his masters degrees in biostatistics and ethnomusicology from the University of Vermont, Koushik went on to release 2005’s Be With (whose sound reflects the eclecticism in his musical tastes), which includes songs off his Be With, One in a Day, and Battle Times EPs. Previous to that he co-wrote and sang two songs on Manitoba (later re-named Caribou)’s 2003 Up in Flames record. Koushik’s long awaited full-length debut, Out My Window came out in 2008 and not very coincidentally, had much in common with Caribou’s 2007 Andorra. ~ Marisa Brown, All Music Guide”
