Night in the Electronic Forest

Hi, Today I want you all to meet a wonderful talented russian artist Mirabella Kiryanova, also known as Ishome. She's a fresh bright star in electronic music sky, and is often related to Mount Kimbie, Flying Lotus and many other music grands. Being very young she has already achieved a lot - been added to "10 Top Young Producers" list on one of the biggest web-zines in Russia "Look At Me", released her own EP, played in many festivals and became famous of her brilliant magic live shows.

 I discovered her music a couple of months ago. I'm still being amazed every time I hit play button.
I'd say, Ishome is a sign of rapidly growing russian electronic music scene. She forced me to explore russian underground music more, and then I realised how many great producers this country actually has. You ever heard of Pixelord, Ol  or Lapti ? Go and listen to them. Each has some quality tunes to offer.

Now I want you to hear last Ishome's album "Confession" released on Fuselab (This label has many more amazing producers, hit the link and check them out).
Album is absolutely brilliant. Sound is full of dreamy ambient melodies, broken beats, collages made up of manipulated vocals and atmospheric lullabies, buried under melancholic bass and iridescent synths.

Drop acid not bombs

Australian dance punk artists Cut Copy just released a new album and it is very much worth your time. With this new album you could assume the guys listened to a lot of acid house and dropped quite a bit of it too. The new album Free Your Mind is a great throwback to the days of P.L.U.R. The hedonism of modern edm is nowhere to be found, only positive vibes and uplifting grooves.

Yes the cover art is absolutely hideous, but it represents the bright sounds and colors found throughout the album. The album can get incredibly cheesy sometimes, but you just have to let go and "Free your mind"

Gunpowder, Treason & House

It's the 5th of November, which means over in the UK we all get together and make some stonking great fires and let off a few fireworks in celebration of some bloke named Guy Fawkes failing to blow up parliament in 1605. Which is just a little bit ironic.

It's a good time, especially if you can stand stinking of smoke for the next couple days. Now I could list some tunes about fireworks or whatever, but instead here's some house stuff I'm enjoying right now, starting off with a slow building number from Simian Mobile Disco. (Apologies for the crap video thumbnail - it's the only upload I could find)



Thins take a more downtempo turn here, featuring some lovely synth work throughout and even some Knife/Fever Ray style vocal contributions toward the end it's a great showcase of Rex's production, check it out in prep for his new releases!

MuteSong · Rex The Dog - Heartsong

New addition to the writing team Earl has a few tricks of his own, I dug out his Selectizm. comp for another listen not too long ago and fell in love all over again, He kills it in both the house and hip hop department. This track is no different, the breakdown with the cheeky Blade Runner sample is an early highlight.

Deadbeat Demon - Orion Hi

And finally, an often overlooked remix from Daft Club. The album gets a lot of flak but I dig the most of the tracks on it, and it features a pre-Get Lucky collab between the Punk and Pharrell! Here's the seven minute rework of Face To Face from Demon.
