Electronica

Meet electronic artist Superpoze, the mind behind Combien Mille Records and one half of Kuage..

Torus' new EP, Temples, is a sweeping, synth-led, Shlohmo-like sonic experience.. This came as a recommendation from my weirdo-music appreciating English mate Keith, whose always got his head deep in the 'Cloud, and who always turns up great new stuff for me. Torus was his suggestion for me this week, with a little 'sounds like Shlohmo' sweetener thrown in, and Keith’s really pulled through. A recent graduate of the Red Bull Music Academy, Torus - Joeri Woudstra – is a producer from The Netherlands. Temples, his latest EP, was released today and its four tracks’ worth of woozy, bass-heavy atmospheric production to delight in. Whilst rich in tangible emotion, Torus’ tracks go more ‘large’ than Shlohmo’s. A producer like EPROM comes to mind as a comparison point, particularly on Creepin', a huge, synth-led mammoth of a track that could moonlight as a Southern hip hop instrumental. Other times, such as track U R, his inverted sonic excursions are more ethereal, and would make Clams Casino

Heartbreakers v Beatmakers: Collarbones team up with Oscar Key Sung on a new track.. Sydney’s Marcus Whale and Adelaide’s Travis Cook are the wonderful Collarbones, a producer duo who’ve been making genre-defying, forward-thinking music together for nearly eight years now. I never heard their first album but their second album, 2011's Die Young, featuring HTML Flowers and Guerre, is a firm favourite of mine - a gem of a broken R & B / experimental club / house thing, thematically built around heartbreak and teen nostalgia, and structurally built on glitchy, post dubstep beats. It sits somewhere between James Blake, Burial and The Weekend, at times moving torwards the more big-room weirdo-house of Teengirl Fantasy, and full of the kind of jams that are nice to listen to when you come home at 3am. Seeing Collarbones perform live at Outside In Festival in Sydney a couple of years back, and then again last year at The Bird in Perth, have both been totally memorable experiences - the boys b

A very special - and weird - Aus' premiere for you of Arca's latest single video clip.. As mentioned when we posted the track INITIALLY, we've been excited about the work of producer Arca since some time early last year, and we've been feverishly anticipating new music from him since. His dense and darkly-layered productions are about to find a home on Arca's debut album, Xen, due November 7 via Mute and Create/Control. He released Thievery a couple of weeks ago, an immense and immersive experience, cinematic in scope, unpredictable, and so beautifully composed, and we're incredibly excited/honoured to premiere its twisted video clip today, directed by longtime collaborator Jesse Kanda, who is also in charge of the album artwork. There's not really many words for the clip, except that it feels exactly right for a producer like Arca, so just enjoy it below: Follow Arca: FACEBOOK // WEBSITE

Mysterious and unclassifiable Venezuelan producer Arca announces his debut album.. I first came aross Arca a fair while ago now, when our record label boss pointed him out in THIS POST about some producers people should be getting their ears around. Here's what he said at the time: "...Bucket loads of proper haunting synth work and drum sounds like a frikkin army of skeletons banging on barrels. The perfect soundtrack to a rave in a graveyard, with more groove than Mid West miserablists Salem, and the dripping tap gloop of Balam Acab, it's equally likely to appeal to fans of Darkhouse Fam, Coco Bryce, or any of those other neck snapping LA/UK beat wizards. Levels!" If that doesn't pique your interest, know Arca was one of many incredible underground producers Kanye West employed to help bring Yeezus to life. I can't really do Arca's sound anymore justice than that, and his dark, dense, atmospheric brand of electronica will soon find its way onto his debut album, titled Xen, and due Nov
