Used to love to hate this song by Stardust back in real time. Or maybe I hated loving it? Either way, here’s Giraffage take on the subject, a version I’m less ambivalent about.

There’s always room for ANOTHER Aaliyah rework. Sure.

This one’s by Tony Quattro, who we’re used to relate to way more dancefloor oriented material. On this remix he keeps the bounce, but puts less of the ounce on the beats, but rest assure in the other 3 remixes on the free download offered he’s back to his usual tricks and does that just as fine.

Anyways - here you go:

Here’s something brand brand new from Sweatson Klank, one of our most favourite producers here at the Pop Lock HQ, on a bit of a different vibe then usual. It’s no coincidence one of the tags on SC says “ONRA”, no coincidence at all. 

So when is this forthcoming EP forthcoming, huh???

Free download this till then.

People don’t watch enough music videos (myself included). Whose got time for that anyways? That’s a shame. Makes me sad. Especially when you see something as wonderful as this, which apparently has been around for almost 6 months and totally got passed me.

Check out this stunning piece of animation, perfect for the music, and getting some magic done using negative space and b&w tripiness.

So Tropics has this new EP out, and what do you know, who would have thought and so forth - it’s beautiful. No surprsies here whatsoever. Just another collection of strikingly emotional and touching heartfelt electronics. Thank you Tropics for keeping the flow of wonderful music coming our way. Will be waiting for the next release, ready to post about that one too.

Here’s some splendid splendidness for your weekend pleasure. Only listened once so far, and watched even less than that, and there’s too much going on here for me to elaborate at this point, but basically - wow.

Watch + listen to part 1:

And here’s the full mixtape on bandcamp:

Svetlana Industries, one of the most interesting and boundary pushing labels out there in recent years, have launched a new imprint under the name WOETONE with this splendid dreamy release featuring Ssaliva and WANDA GROUP. WOETONE aims to shine a light on music as challenging and engulfing as released on the mother label, that couldn’t find its home there due to being a bit less target focused, more spacious, with a higher tendency for floating, levitation, gliding and other forms of light flight.

This release sees Ssaliva taking us to very ambientesque terrains with layers of synths and arps spread over three luscious tracks, while WANDA GROUP going even deeper into whatever realm Ssaliva was leading to over one 13 minute long walk through all sorts of loose magical and somewhat mysterious happenings.

Quite thrilled with this release as it’s another strong sign that ambient music is making its comeback, perhaps the first electronic musical genre to take its second retro run, and mostly because it means we can expect some more of that unmistakable Svetlana quality to flow via more channels.

Big up as usual you guys!

Love me some Tokyo Hands in the morning. And this is a DRAFT?! Most producers would kill for such an end product… I would settle for killing for a D/L link…

Boy do I love getting good music in my inbox. Check out this sweet sweet remix, not the most sophisticated piece of music you’ve heard, but who wants to be smart all the time? This one’s just pure fun and colourful balloons.
I then recommend you proceed down Magnifik’s magnificient profile on soundcloud, and enjoy more goodness, such as the quite superb “So It Has Come To This”.
Hoping to be hearing much more from Magnifik in the future. Yes please.

Totally only wrote about Debian Blak and his free Aaliyah remixes EP just a week and a half ago, but I must mention him again now, with this new quite wonderful single out today. I’d run straight out and buy the single including HanC of SWAMP81 and Lion Gonzales’ remixes right away if it wasn’t available only at the evil evil iTunes.

Alphabets Heaven - Birthday from diplodok493 on Vimeo.

This must be one of the best videos i’ve seen in a long while. Wonderful animation, sweet and trippy, joyful and creepy. Perfect match for quite a superb track in itself, out on Alphabet Heaven’s new EP, Siamese Burn. The way the music and the animation fit so right here feels as though they were made and had evolved together in symbiosis, and not one for the other. One of those times you wanna thank the good lord for bestowing the Music Video upon us. Love this.

Have you heard this?!
Is it really Squarepusher, back to grace us mortals with his genius? 
Time seems to have taken Squarepusher to all new different realms of music, and I think it couldn’t have turned out better. This versiion of Ghostpoet’s single, taken from his coming new album, lifts the song to far reached higher grounds, this is just so perfect to my ears right now, I think I’ll skip the superlatives. Wow. Yes.

First got acquainted with Debian Blak some months back via his remix of the Resonators’ B.A.S.I.C, which left a good impression. And so I was very pleased to find out about his free offering of a 3-track Aaliyah remix EP.
Open wide. It’s good for ya.
