Echo Lake - Buried At Sea

Natalia Stuyk directed video for Echo Lake’s ‘Buried At Sea’, from last spring’s Young Silence EP, shot off the coast of Granada, Southern Spain. Want to live inside it.

PATTEN - LOGQAJ ACSXSOA

A third remix EP, with Spare, Yearning Kru, Erratic Boulder and Lee Gamble taking select tracks from patten’s GLAQJO XAACSSO album:

Each remixer gets a bunch of chunks from a finished track. One track per remixer. No stems. No finished full track to compare against. Passing the fragments like bits of code divorced from the full program. See what gets retained, what comes through from the sonic DNA.

 

Grimes - Crystal Ball (Doldrums refix)

 

Doldrums gets tangled in with Montreal sparring partner and tour mate Grimes’ ‘Crystal Ball’ track from this spring. His own ‘Empire Sound’ EP is both out now through No Pain In Pop and available to stream in full over at Altered Zones. ’Crystal Ball’ appears on ‘Halfaxa’ LP through Arbutus Records, Montreal.

PATTEN - QALOGJ OACSSXA

Listen to QALOGJ OACSSXA, the second remix EP from patten’s acclaimed GLAQJO XAACSSO album, with Ukkonen, Dro Carey and Halls again working to the London producer’s following diktat:

Each remixer gets a bunch of chunks from a finished track. One track per remixer. No stems. No finished full track to compare against. Passing the fragments like bits of code divorced from the full program. See what gets retained, what comes through from the sonic DNA.”

Doldrums - Endless Winter

Doldrums flying too close to the sun with his ‘Endless Winter’ video from the avant-pop Empire Sound EP, out on DL and 12”.

A voice comes across mid panic attack..
