Style: MP3 Music Download
Listener’s Digest
Summer's got Bettina in its claws | I'm leaving for a two weeks vacation this Saturday. Suitcases have to be stuffed and friends have to be convinced to take care of mail, plants and cat. And as most people, I got myself some new books to browse in the scorching heat of sun-burned beaches (in my case, the white shores of the Baltic Sea). Before I'm off, here's five recent Netaudio releases you should consider downloading. Listener's Digest, you know?
Portformat - "Classics"
Portformat a.k.a. Ibrahima M'Bodji is a German/ Senegalsese producer. In 2009, Ibrahim will release his debut album by the hands of Tokyo Dawn records but before we can download a fine collection of mellow, mostly instrumental Hip Hop tunes. Organic and jazzy beats, musically speaking close to his buddy Comfort Fit plus some more Soul.
Mobydick & Plaistow - "Tarial EP" (eDogm)
Critically acclaimed Geneve Jazztrio Plaistow hooked up with Moroccan MC Mobydick to form a new band: Mobystow. Mobydick spits in French and Darija language (which is a n Arabian idiom). That sounds fresh and interesting, and his associative, spoken word-style flow is unique. Plaistow add their visions of high energy Post-Bop to make this EP something new and outstanding.
Kauders - "Brian Invited June" (Bird Song)
Gottfried Kauders is guitarist of Automassage and Code Inconnu, two bands that empathically push the borders of experimental Rock music. There is a certain sickness about both bands mainly due to the sluggish guitar play of Kauders. For his solo output, Kauders got into Avant-Garde Pop rather than Rock. But his style is not to mistaken. Strange music, unique music, but beautiful music above all.

Deastro - "Grower EP" (RCRDLBL)
Deastro is a recording artists from Detroit, Michigan who is promoted by Ghostly recordlabel as a wunderkind in Shoegaze Electronica. Randolph Chabot a.k.a. Deastro is about to release his debut LP with Ghostly but his epic "Grower EP" is online for free via RCRDLBL. Home grown IDM, sweetish melodies and uplifting beats - somewhere between chip tune, Boards of Canda and My Bloody Valentine.
Fine Before You Came - "sfortuna"
OK, I don't know much about Italian Indierock outfit Fine Before You Came. Flip of Zymogen sent me the link, asking if I would fancy some tough Rock music. I do. FBYC released their new record "sfortuna" as a free download on their website. The band exists for nearly ten years now and is quite successful in Italy. They play awkward melodic and aggresive Post-Hardcore that strikes a chord with me. Super!
