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 The long synth solos have been replaced by careful layering; instead of building each song to it's climax the band percolates on hot remixed urban ideas, letting the production create the spacious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.

Pretty Lights - Lonesome Street
Pretty Lights - Lonesome Street
Pretty Lights is the musical creation of Derek Vincent Smith, who while putting on live shows is accompanied on the drums by Cory Eberhard, both coming from Colorado. His music is the byproduct of digital sampling and transforming it to create a new kind of music that crosses all genres pulling bits and pieces from each one, the end product being a combination of glitchy hip-hop beats, buzzing synth lines, and vintage funk and soul samples. Pretty Lights' sound is generated by synthesizing samples and organic beats using the monome and the Akai MPD32. Smith programs these digital controllers with the music production software Ableton Live 8. Download all of Pretty Lights' albums here.

Eliot Lipp - Glasspipe
His Sequential Circuits keyboard might be missing a few buttons, but one listen to Eliot Lipp’s second full-length "Tacoma Mockingbird" and it becomes clear that those particular triggers must not be important. The shuffling beat and pinwheel playfulness of "Glasspipe" is downright minimal; its concept so simple it seems too easy. Lipp is not just an artist, but an engineer.
