Spotify Aug 2015
Fifteen tracks I heard on Spotify in August that you should listen to
- Big Dope P - Momma On Da Flo (feat. Feadz)
If you're a regular reader you may have heard the cool-as-hell beats on Big Dope P's Momma On Da Flo (feat. Feadz), a great way to open this selection - Matrixxman - Augmented
Having given Homesick, the Matrixxman album, a few listens, I can report that there's a few decent tracks on there; my favourite being Augmented - Koova - Code
I wouldn't disagree with you if you said Koova's Empty Spaces EP sounded derivative, the driving electro is certainly familiar... but I like it - Emika - What's the Cure (The Exaltics Remix)
A mixed bag of remixes for Emika's DREI album. The Eomac version of What's The Cure is good, but the version from The Exaltics is definitely the best - Ipman - Regicide
Drum 'n' Bass dancefloor destruction. A mini-masterpiece - Jack Sparrow - Pula Riddim
Low-slung dub reggae - Julio Bashmore - What's Mine is Mine
Like the DREI remixes, Knockin' Boots, the debut album from Matt Walker is a mixed bag; the J Danna tracks verge on cringeworthy commercial, and Bark is utterly annoying but it's all mostly catchy as hell - Paul Kalkbrenner - Cloud Rider
Although the seventh album from the German producer was released on a major label (Columbia Records), he's managed to keep things on the correct side of tasteful - Seb Wildblood - Mødir
James Tittensor aka Seb Wildblood is the man behind London's Church label and club night. Mødir somehow makes me think of Moby - Georgia - Digits
Primarily a singer/songwriter the daughter of Leftfield’s Neil Barnes produces poppy electronic music - Pure Ground - And So Remain
Belgian duo make dark Coldwave electronic music with menacing vocals - Deceptikon - Found Message
Like Plaid, light and airy electronic music - Suzanne Kraft - Renee Sleeping
Gentle, melodic electronic noodling, just like the rest of the mini-album Talk From Home - Alessandro Cortini - La Guardia
Even with the subtle acid loop, there's a progressive element to this track, quite monumental - Briana Marela - Take Care of Me
Combine Julianna Barwick with Royksopp and Julia Holter and you get Briana Marela. Sweet but best taken in small doses
