Lone – The Seasons Change Mix – free download
As BTS Radio writes, “Lone bridges the gap between ’80s funk & soul, hazy afternoons in Los Angeles and House parties in Chicago.” Lone’s (aka Matt Cutler) exclusive mix for BTS Radio “The Seasons Change Mix” highlights this perfectly. A mixture of lazy funky soul house hip hop, which for me anyway, makes me daydream…. [...]
Skywave Systems – “Ban The Mindreader” mix – free download
I don’t really know too much about Skywave Systems to be honest, except I came across an “All Boards of Canada mix” they did a while ago, which i really enjoyed. This brand new mix (released 25/02/10) features tracks from such famous labels as Warp, Luckyme, Sonar Kollektiv, Myuzyk, Ninja Tune, Big Dada, Planet Mu, [...]
Guest Mix: Fur- Controlled Reverberations Mix
Those of you who are regulars to the site will know we featured FUR (aka Bryce Isbell) back in November. Since the free downloads of the “Black Castles” & “Blood” EP’s became available Fur has been getting more & more attention. He was recently featured on Pitchfork and XXJFG amongst others- all with glowing reviews. [...]
Boards of Canada – “Macquarie Ridge”
As some of you may know I’m a massive fan of Boards of Canada. Rumour has it that the notoriously elusive brothers will be releasing a new album this year………….maybe. Their last album “The Campfire Headphase” was released in 2005 so, if true, it’s been a while in the making. While searching for some confirmation [...]
Fur- The Downstairs Room & Blood EP
Nearly a month has passed since i posted about Fur‘s excellent Black Castles EP, and he’s just released two further Ep’s for free legal download- “The Downstairs Room” & “Blood EP“. “The Downstairs Room” clocks in at just under 45 mins in duration and is pure ambient electronica- not a single drum sound in site!!! [...]
Mask 500, by Various Artists (Hell Interface, Gescom, Chaos AD.) (12″ on SKAM)
Originally released in 1999 (and worth a few pennies if you have one of the 500 originals)- this brilliant 12″ has just become available again as a bootleg repressing, courtesy of those football cheating French types. The vinyl features remixes & mash-ups by Squarepusher, Autechre, Boards of Canada & others (all under aliases) of 1980′s [...]
Seafar – Hegira
I have to say that, until yesterday, I’d never even heard of this guy….. but having just listened to Cumbernauld-born Seafar’s debut album “Hegira” for the third time in about 24 hours, i’m already a big fan. Released exclusively on The Future Sound of London‘s own digital label FSOLDigital the double cd length album ranges [...]
Fur – Black Castles EP
My first post on Phuturelabs and it’s a cracker i think! Released yesterday (31/10/09) for free legal download on Secret Station Records website, Fur‘s “Black Castles EP” and his upcoming album “Colorful People” is some of the most exciting & interesting electronic music i’ve heard in a while. Fur aka Bryce Isbell originally hails from [...]
