A little something...

Well it's summer again and I decided to start posting again. Here's a new track Lemaitre just released. Be sure to start following =) -Alistair
 

Lemaitre - Time To Realize

Right when you thought this was an electro blog...Deltron 3030 aka Del the Funky Homosapien will always be one of my favorite artists. Straight from my home of Oakland, California, Del is best known for being in groups such as Hieroglyphics and Souls of Mischief. His rapping is deep and has a melody no other rapper can compare to. What I like most about Del is the meaning behind his lyrics. Listen carefully and you'll be hit by his many wise words that challenge the status quo.

This guy got it right. Orlando Higginbottom and his partner Edmund Finnis takes electronic music to a whole new level. Defined officially as dance music, in the interview above (1:08) he says,

"If we just kinda woke up tomorrow morning and there were none of these genre's, you just had your record collection in front of you and you didn't know what any of it was called or where any of it came from, it wouldn't matter, that'd be great. That'd be great and you'd probably write some amazing music and you'd love some music that you never loved before. Cause all the connotations and the weird ideas you had about whether it's cool and where it's come from and what scene it is and who wrote it and whether you've heard it before. Those would just be gone. I like that idea."

Orlando couldn't have said it better and his music truly speaks to this concept. Orlando is truly paving the road towards bringing creativity back into electronic music (let alone music in general) and pushing against the clutches of label run mainstream music.
His new album is soon to be released and I bet it'll be a masterpiece.

Right out of San Jose, California, B.Lewis puts down some very smooth music. B.Lewis uses a perfect mixture of Hip-Hop and synthesizers that shouts uniqueness. 5 albums and 1 EP to his belt, B.Lewis shows to the world he lives and breaths music. He has even collaborated with one of my favorite artists, Xperiment, which puts him at the top of my artist list. Check out his array of amazing albums at bandcamp.

Hey everyone, back again for post number 2. If you liked what I had last post, then you'll definitely love this; some more of that glitch sound that you all crave. Recently I've found and started to follow a group called Fractal Sky. A up and coming glitchhop crew who has had side acts with Gramatik, Big Gigantic, Prophetic Massive, Somasphere, Telepath, Zoogma, Jwail, and Peter Paul. Long story short, this guy knows his samples and he's not afraid to try new things. Check it.

The Bad News. I've had no way to post on the blog for I've been traveling in South America.

The Good News. Right before break my good friend Ryan (fellow music junkie) decided to join as a co-author on Infusica! Here's his first post!

Hi all, first post on Infusica; thanks to Alistair!

Recently I've been looking into some of the more obscure genres of electronica. I've listened to dubstep pretty much since its conception a couple years back but now I've been listening to glitch-hop, glitch-step, psybass...really obscure and definitely not like bangers to be throwing down at parties. However, glitch and the genres under its umbrella I have found that its really good for surfing the web, gaming, and long distance car rides. Glitch operates similarly to house (maybe like liquid too) in the regard that its constantly flowing. There are several blogging and internet radio sites that are sprouting up around the United States that are just about glitch and other genres like it.
This mix by psilogod is really stimulating, never a dull moment. I love this mix.

Some tracks:

Ravager - Raindrops (Samples & Kat1lyst Remix) by Simplify Recordings



Dave Sweeten and Nick Bliss - Perception Bender(Nick Bliss Mix) by Nick Bliss



Really good remix of Electrocado by heavenly father,

Electrocado The Crotch Thruster (Heavenly Father remix) by HEAVENLY FATHER




Lastly, this Bird of Prey essential mix is absolutely mind blowing. This is technically psy-step...but due to some hiphop influence I would call it glitchhop rather than psystep...but who cares?

Thats it for me,

Dubstep to electronica to trip-hop this guy treats music for what it really is. Digital Farm Animals comes out of London, England and I have to say...music is superb. I couldn't find to much about his background but the low synths, slow tempo and insane vibratto, were enough for me. Defintelly going to look into his many albums.

From Glasgow, Britain, Soosh is a spectacular ambient artist. Definitively some "chilling on a rainy day" type stuff. I found him by noticing his newly released music video on Finest Ego.

Soosh -Rainbow Hiccups

Soosh - Take My Hand

Soosh - Farewell

Classifying this music as Future Garage just doesn't cut it. Out of London, England, SBTRKT stands behind the original music he produces. In an interview he explains this by saying,

"I'd rather not talk about myself as a person, and let the music speak for itself. The name SBTRKT is me taking myself away from that whole process. I'm not a social person, so having to talk to DJs to make them play a record is not something I want to do. It's more about giving them a record as an anonymous person and seeing whether they like it or not. If they play it, they play it." -Clashmusic.com

I have to say, his music truly speaks for itself.

SBTRKT - Wildfire

 

SBTRKT - Ready Set Loop

 

SBTRKT -Sanctuary

This 19 year old, Sydney native adds to my list as one of my favorite artists. The sounds he pulls out of his many sound packs, plug-ins, hardware, etc. definitely shows in his smooth and unique music. Synth's are golden, beats are bumping and I couldn't ask for more. His music reminds me of artists such as Nosaj Thing and Toro Y Moi. Be sure to grab his "Sleepless" EP if you like what you hear.

You can't get more up and coming than Beatsofreen. Coming out with his first full length album "Future Memories" this year, his beats shout classic. His music reminds me of producers such as J-Dilla and Nujabes. From the depths of Bodegraven, Netherlands he shows that old school hip-hop can come out of the least likely places. Beatsofreen is giving out his album free on bandcamp. If you like his stuff be sure to get his Global Soul EP on December 12.

Some of my personal favorite tracks on the album include In Jou, Romani, and Gratitude.
