Here is some music I like a lot right now:
The Life Force Trio – Space Flowers/Carousel
“The Life Force Trio was conceived and founded by Carlos Nino (Ammoncontact, Build An Ark, Hu Vibrational, The Sound Of L.A. . . .) when he started production on celebrated soul-jazz singer Dwight Trible’s Love Is The Answer in Summer of 2003. Enlisting multi-instrumentalist/songwriter and fellow Aquarian Dexter Story to be his partner in the project, Nino set out to create a progressive new sound. Many have asked who the third member of the trio is and Nino’s answer is always the same, ‘the third member is floating.’”– Plug Research Records
Caural – Summer on Cassette
“Better known as Caural, Chicago bred musician Zachary Mastoon has established a production voice that bridges cutting edge electronics with left-field hip-hop. His releases for Chocolate Industries and expert remix work for a number of cutting edge indie labels bend beat-based Eastern, Western, live, and electronic music to his own rules. His elaborate compositions are built from the drums up, adding tiny samples of disjointed sounds and live instruments to create compositions that are both structured and organic. An accomplished performer, Caural utilizes drum and music triggers, turntables, samplers, and a sea of effects to recreate his compositions live. The tight beats, deliberate sequencing, heavy bass, and subtle jazz touches that are instrumental to his work are similar to those of Four Tet, Prefuse 73, and Daedelus, but distinct enough to have established Caural as a producer with a signature sound.” — Mush Records
Tycho – Sunrise Projector (Nautilis Remix)
“His name is Skyler McGlothlin and he’s from Texas. His music kicks. I first heard his stuff on the Leafcutter John remix competition and was pretty impressed. His first release is due any minute on Systorm and I have high hopes for him. You may have heard his remix of Coldcut on the b-side of re:volution 7″ which was a great piece of funk, or his bogdan remix, whatever. “– Planet Mu Records.
