El-P – Weareallgoingtoburninhellmegamixxx3

It's strange Brooklyn based hiphop producer/mc/label owner El-P is still being introduced as a former Company Flow member (see what i did there). Agreed 97's Funcrusher was a groundbreaking album and a jumpstart into his own underground hiphop movement, but I personally think that the man ...

Health – Disco2

Health is an experimental noise rock band with a big focus on delivering a distinct mostly conceptual sound. They've been praised for that and if lately you've spent some time on The Hype Machine or any mp3 blog, you know that Health is a common remixee (if you will). This release sees every ...

Caribou – Swim

Canadian Dan Snaith isn't as much an innovator as he is a progressor. Whether it's his previous psych pop spectacle, Andorra, or condensed organic electronica through his Manitoba releases, he knows what works, what needs to be explored and built upon. It's no secret that my adoration for the ...

Four Tet – There is Love in You

Five years seems like a lot in music. Back in 04-05, when IDM was still considered a sole genre in electronic music, when the Ninja Tune label was still notorious for its great releases and when eclectic electronic music was still indie as ever, there were a few artists that could do no wrong. ...

Josdigital’s Favorite Albums of 2009

Now that you're probably tired of these lists, here's mine. Am I the only one to deliberately wait until the year is over before starting this listmania frenzy? Maybe I just don't care about the pageviews, ads or the reputation. Or maybe I just couldn't make up my damn mind. Though I look ...

Fuck Buttons – Tarot Sport

I loved every minute of their 2008 album, so much so that I still repeatedly play it when i feel the need to relieve me from built-up stress. It works wonders. Tarot Sport builds upon that. Naming an album after the card game is one thing, but to make a song as repetitive in this genre ...

Burial & Four Tet – Wolf Club & Moth 12″

Black label, black sleeve, no info, strictly limited. It's almost as if the public isn't supposed to know about this. Thats a lie, it's both the most anticipated and hyped up electronic release from the past months. You know, it lives up. A combination of Kieran's majestic whirlwind of ...

Hudson Mohawke – Polyfolk Dance EP

Hudson already has a status larger than his musical releases but this eclectic, diverse and focussed piece is impressive. Local readers can pick it up at Mac Fly store.

Deerhunter – Microcastle

I recently read a comment about Microcastle and the guy said that it sounds like a dream. I think that's the perfect way to describe my intuitive awareness. You could say that this is more of an ambient sounding record, drowning in 60's pop and garage influences. But even though the songs are ...

Dyno – More Crack Beat Tape

More from Ghent's more prolific Dyno is this More Crack Beat Tape freeload, which I assume is a metaphor for over-the-top futuristic experimental hiphop collection of beats. Evolution has happened since his last feature here, so expect an intense psychedelic, maybe delusional listening ...
