DepthCharged
The Brown Acid - ‘Bastard Kids’ (Ikonika RMX). Out the 1st of March through East Recordings. Music enhanced by the wire-bound ‘this is a promo’ lady.
Afloat
Both ‘Double Rainbow’ and ‘Breaststroke’ seem to exist in a yearned-for summer haze state where everything is confusing, but everything is good. Protect-U’s former is the more agitated of the pair, rattling away and ready to burst like John Talabot jamming with Blondes jamming with Invisible Conga People jamming with Aphex Twin or just the sun caught in a giant glass marble, while Mathemagic’s is a more sedate baffling, languorous and listless and all those other words that essentially just mean ’sunshine’.
Find ‘Double Rainbow’ on the A-side of Protect-U’s debut 12″ at Discogs and the Future Times website. Thanks to Peter O’Grady for the tip.

The heart as humidity
Montreal’s d’Eon shows his worth, quells nagging doubts and answers questions like ‘Would a heart still be wet if it bled instead of wept?’ What’s here is ticklish and panging, like champagne through the eyeballs or if Ariel Pink preferred the anonymity of the wailing house diva over lost FM transmissions. You’ll drift on oblivious. Felt divinity-propelled. Time for us to burst, then.
MP3: d’Eon - Prochaine Station

Meols Parade
Forest Swords just drafted a mixtape to promote his forthcoming 12″, debuting this batch of reworkings in the process. Two of 2009’s best tracks submerged in the same dubby zen as last year’s incredible ‘Fjree Feather‘, they show a gauzy, sophisticated control of texture and emotion rare in any genre. Pre-order ‘Dagger Paths’ now, out through NYC’s Olde English Spelling Bee next month.
MP3: Burial / Four Tet - Moth (Forest Swords rework)
MP3: Wild Beasts - Hooting & Howling (Forest Swords rework)
Transcendental slime
Here’s one toxicology report you wouldn’t want to fuck with. Fresh and familiar with a few noted others right now, London producer Bad Autopsy takes a depth charge to garage’s high end stutter and comes up with the bends.
Tracks now due for release - stream only.
MP3: Bad Autopsy - Beam Beamer
MP3: Bad Autopsy - Psionic Terror
