Ecid - Werewolf Hologram - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

2015 from the Minneapolis rapper/producer. Ecid has been operating on the fringes of rap music for close to a decade, with no co-signer or angel investor, just a passion for contributing to the ever changing hip-hop landscape. His first songs were cut using a dual tape deck and a stack of gangster rap instrumentals. Now he single-handedly orchestrates every detail of his songs. The beats are ambitious, soaked in a monstrous, bombastic glory with moments of blissful minimalism that prepare you for the next smile-inducing surprise. This sound was achieved with expertly plucked samples, analog synths, household percussion, and a team of adventurous musicians that understood his sonic vision. Pheromone Heavy is a collection of songs about the experiences that are inherently a part of us posing the question what if we never stopped chasing our dreams?

Elvis Presley - Heart and Soul [COMPACT DISCS] date 05/08/2012

Since 2009, Dominic Maker and his partner in Mount Kimbie, Kai Campos, have played a central role in forging a new form for electronic music. Their influence stretches far beyond the corner of the dance music underground that birthed them. They have repeatedly confounded expectations, transforming themselves from bedroom-studio producers to creators of one of the most fully realized electronic album-length statements of recent years and refining their live show to incorporate live drums, bass, guitar and vocals. With their second album, Cold Spring Fault Less Youth, finally completed, the perception of Mount Kimbie looks set to expand again.
