Stoned and tired… thats where i am right now. Pantha du Prince.
Aka Hendrik Weber, Pantha du Prince makes an intricate combination of sounds, mixing a deep hypnotic techno underlay with fairly complex melodies… I like em’… ‘well’ chilled. Oscar waves massive hands right up in here.
Pass dat blaze up…!

Shigeto (aka Zach Saginaw) is an electronic musician from Michigan. Born and raised on a diet of Motown and Jazz in good old US of A, he still pays homage to his family roots in Japan with his alias name, meaning ‘to grow bigger’.
He almost flunked school, but kept his musical interest alive and continued to study in London and New York. He has released EPs under other alias’, such as Frank Omura with Unshaven Face and All Rise. He has also done remixes for Worst Friends, Praveen & Benoit, Tycho, Mux Mool, Charles Trees, A Setting Sun, Beautiful Bells, and Shlohmo.
But his recent EP New Crossings as Shigeto makes you really sit up and take notice. Its outright beautiful! A weird clash of ambience, synthetic melody, IDM, dubstep sub-bass and fractured rhythms make this album so engaging. Its works… so well.
As usual here is one of my favourites, the rest is up to you…
Peace
This is not from the EP New Crossings, but i like it all the same.
If your french is up to it, check this video… Fuckin great!
C’est un peu con, mais c’est hyper drole..!

Another young talent from the Eastern Block, this time hailing from Lithuania. Brokenchord delivers a performance on his debut release, ‘The Bluestar EP’. In my opinion this is truely amazing.
This sound seems seems so mature, so developed and rich for a 19 year old. Maybe age has nothing to do with it, when it comes to music, but perhaps my surprise is that it is his first release?!?!
There is a sadness that runs through these melodies, and well tempered sawtooth synth pads with slo-mo halfstep. I definately get the sense we are being taken on a journey, being drawn into this dark world. And yet this world is so mesmerising, so addictive, like audio crack.
A ‘crunk’ beat, and electro resonance throughout this EP introduces us to this new unique sound. I cannot wait to hear more, but for now this new EP is more than enough. I am hooked…
Here are some tunes from this release.
