Never write off Keep Shelly In Athens, its genre bending when it comes soft pop music with an 80s haze over yet fusing in electronics that makes me want to put the song on repeat.

Tim Sweeney is doing an amazing A+R job with Beats In Space. Gonno rides a mysterious line that takes him into a dark caribbean digital world comes out the other end into a colorful synthetic space.

Ariel Pink strips it down and experiments just outside the AM gold sound with Jorge Elbrecht.

Tri Angle grabs up another huge talent for their roster with the signing of Forest Swords. Composition wise he always keeps it interesting by sitting percussion in this distant muffled space that I love.

2 brands that we know and love collaborated on 2 beautiful pairs of sunglasses. Head over to Warby Parker for the story and a great playlist curated by Ghostly International of their catalog. Below is a kaleidoscope promo video which includes Tycho’s “Dive”, as of this morning only the Smokey Grey is still available.

Lets start this week off with some slow jam videos that are dancey but not too wild for this summer heat. I’ve had this Hayden James track on repeat, Future Classics was the most prepared label for the 2013 summer.

These 2 tracks from Samps & Tornado Wallace hold up as a playlist on their own, go deep with both, i’m still floating after hearing them.

While Com Truise preps newer material he did a session with Room 205 exploring the space with 3 polished up new tracks. Below is footage of each track thats a collab effort director Babak Khoshnoud and producer Will Abramson of Yours Tru.ly.

I found paintings in my on going search for artificial landscapes. I think we all have that place in our hearts for that architecture and nature fantasy mesh, even if its office buildings or in this case dramatic islands floating in the sky.

Plug Research was a big part of my early exploration in post-IDM material, Oakland’s Shortcircles fits nicely on the roster with his melody driven sparkle and ethereal slow tempos.

Jessy Lanza is one of the more exciting releases coming out on Hyperdub, this video makes me happy, showing us how little you really need budget wise for a video, just creatives in control.

Teen Daze is giving away 3 songs on his Soundcloud for free, this one was the most fitting for this post 🙂

I’m becoming a big Almunia fan, staying true to his sound and really expanding on it.

I found this catchy, its an edit by LORD Raja of Flying Lotus’ Captain Murphy.

For the next 6 hours the Australian label Future Classic is offering a free compilation of some of their summer hits being released on the label. Download them now before they become stream only.

UPDATE: I hope some of you we’re able to grab the compilation, I replaced the 404 playlist with an old one just so something is there.
