Sundrips and When

Posted in ambient, electronic, music, new finds, video with tags , , on November 17, 2011 by oscarmassivehands

The duo of Ryan Connolly and Nick Maturo makes up this truly beautiful ensemble. Focussing on the methodology of making the music rather than aiming at a specific outcome, allows them to approah the music is a pioneering way. Brian Eno was one of the forerunners of aesthetic, ambient music and he was a true advocate of harmonic, resonant chords that floated in circles. Sundrips follow a similar process, and produce something that is meditative, calming, and soulful. In short this music gets to you and i would suggest you try and get your Massive Hands on the album ‘Just a Glimpse’.

Juj, Juj, who the fu*k is Juj..?

Juj, pronounced jooooj/jewj/joodge, is an electronic music producer hailing from the deep pools of talent that are Los Angeles (or ‘whales vagina’ in the words of good old Ron Burgandy). He is one of the co-founders of the Wedidit Collective which includes such great artists as Shlohmo and Elan, and is currently signed to HW&W Recordings.

LA pretty much supplies most of the soundtrack to my life, producing none other than the Brainfeeder crew (including Flying Lotus, Lorn, Samiyam and Tokimonsta) and this ‘bad boi’ is no different. Bouncy and full of character the tracks are short but so catchy they make ya head nod on impulse!

Make sure you check out the album ‘Slack’ as there are some fantastic tracks to be consumed, mulled over and swallowed.

Here is a little taster from his album, two tracks for your eardrums.

oOoOO – Mumbai

Posted in electronic, haunting, hip hop, music, new finds, pop, witch-hop with tags , , on November 3, 2011 by oscarmassivehands

Ok, ok.. I have recently stumbled upon this awesomely  intriguing solo artist called oOoOO (pronounced Oh), which may very well be the best name i have ever come across!

Outstretched Arms for oOoOO

Merging hip-hop, haunting electronic beats, pop melodies and all kinds of weird and wonderful sounds, I am in Love..! This tune called Mumbai is heavily haunting and a little bit like Crack.. addictive. Make sure you listen to the full EP, aptly named oOoOO EP.

Sorry i have not posted for a while, i will try and remedy this with some frequent hits in the coming few weeks.

Peace, OscarMassiveHands is back!
