Mux Mool - Viking Funeral


Viking Funeral contains everything that Mux Mool does best, making it a fine road map to Lindgren’s cracked universe. “Teal Trim” starts things off right with a tight, incisive beat, mixed to cut through a fog of hard-panned synths and distorted melody lines. Mux’s live edit of “Ladies Know” is a hard-to-find instrumental version which foregrounds the track’s bitcrushed drums and dirt-crusted vocal samples. Next up is “Drum Babylon”, a highlight from Mux’s song-a-day project Drum EP, and “Goblin Town”, a mischievous interlude featuring a choir of deep-voiced goblins, singing about their hometown. The Viking Funeral EP closes with its lone track with vocals, “Death 9000 (Prof & POS Broadcasting Version)”, in which the MCs have their way with one of Mux’s more sinister beatscapes.

Eliot Lipp - Beamrider


Even without wordy MCs, you can feel hip-hop's undeniable swagger in the frothy instrumentals of Eliot Lipp. Free from rappers' blinged out egos, the New York-based producer puts whatever twist he wants on his banging beats, from squelching sci-fi beats ("Beamrider") to a spray of Bubble Bobble glitches ("Sentinel"). It also allows him to be incredibly prolific, and the latest Peace Love Weed 3D on his own Old Tacoma Recordings label is album number six in less than five years. Lead single "Beamrider" is a triumphant opening that rides tough on descending bass lines and toasts the good life with blissful melodies. "Sentinel" jabs playfully at listeners' ears with blurry synth funk stabs. Be prepared to crank these up.

Pnuma Trio - Character


Pnuma Trio - "11:27" (lyrics by Ced Hughes)

Dynamic, scene-setting electronica youngsters The Pnuma Trio have been known for their forward-thinking compositions and moving, powerful improvisations since their explosion onto the scene in 2004.

Their debut studio album, 'Character' has a defined, glitch-informed electro/hip-hop feel and all the dynamic energy of their DJ-killing live show. This new album represents a significantly evolved version of Pnuma's futuristic sound; tighter, more focused, and higher resolution. The long synth solos have been replaced by careful layering; instead of building each song to it's climax the band percolates on hot remixed urban ideas, letting the production create the spacious atmosphere.'Character' is ready to take the scene by storm with it's vast, open feel and deep 808-driven grooves.
