Stumbleine

I would like to share some mysterious sounds with you from Bristol, UK. Stumbleine is clearly one of the best of its kind. It's hard to find any useful information about the artist on the internet, so I will post these thoughts as a reference:

"Heart warming glo-fi and chilled ambient anthems that create a very own atmosphere, a lot of bright and mysterious sounds, various pitched and undefined vocal samples and slushy beats in the tradition of other artists like Sun Glitters and Slow Magic. Sometimes Stumbleine appears like a brighter form of all those ghostly electronics like Burial or Holy Other, a bit more optimistic, a bit more soul and a lot of love within each and every second of this music."

Stumbleine already released two magical albums in the summer of 2012, Sunshine Girls and Ghosting. In July the talented producer presented another bunch of tracks on a brand new release titled The Night Before. Here are some beautifully melodic examples from his Bandcamp.

Above & Beyond: Small Moments Like These

This is an unfuckinbelievable video from Above & Beyond, I got goosebumps. The music group consists of Jono Grant, Tony McGuinness and Paavo Siljamäki. They released their second album titled Group Therapy this summer.

SBTRKT

SBTRKT, correctly pronounced as subtract is the stage name and project of Aaron Jerome, a musician and producer from London, UK. SBTRKT began his career in a club called Plastic People. He has remixed songs by artists such as Radiohead, Modeselektor, Basement Jaxx, Mark Ronson, Underworld and Goldie, and has released singles and a self-titled album.

His music is the mixture of shiny vocals with tight, accelerated textures steeped deep in a glorious combination of electronic genres like dubstep and house. The infectious rhythms, unbridled energy and astounding curation from the man in the mask creates a whole new phenomenon.

The name is an alias used to support the concept of anonymity. "I'd rather not talk about myself as a person, and let the music speak for itself. The name SBTRKT is me taking myself away from that whole process. I'm not a social person, so having to talk to someone to make them play a record is not something I want to do. It's more about giving them a record as an anonymous person and seeing whether they like it or not. If they play it, they play it." He says.

SBTRKT refers also to the live musical duo of Aaron and his frequent collaborator Sampha. Their live show consists of Jerome utilizing electronic and acoustic drums alongside triggering samples and using a mixing desk, with Sampha playing keyboards, trigging vocal loops and singing. You can read more about their live performances on this website.

Signal Path: Crossing The Rubicon

Signal Path bends musical genres and deep melodic ideas around a core of unrelenting rhythm and massive low-end. They create a depth and intricacy of sound that becomes more commanding every time it’s heard, and by blending live instrumentation into their production they create a live experience that is as beautiful as it is intense.

Ryan Burnett, Damon Metzner and Matt Schumacher continues to create powerful studio work and wildly popular live shows throughout the US. The Denver based band's new release features remixes mashed up with their unique take on electronic music. Artists featured include Zola Jesus, The Roots, Active Child, Skrillex, Austra, Cults, Asap Rocky and Modeselektor. My absolute favourite Signal track, Crossing The Rubicon is from the album called Souls Unswayed.

Kidnap Kid: Vehl

Matt Relton is an impressive dubstep producer from Sheffield, UK. The artist's name came to be Kidnap Kid after a weird kidnapping joke. Vehl was a soundcloud hit for the past few months, it finally makes its full length appearance. In Kidnap Kid's own words, he's not sure where it came from, he got to work and 3 days later, he listened in disbelief to what had seemingly just fallen out of him. We love it.

About his future: "I’ve started to get more bookings recently so hopefully I’ll carry on with my work. I’ve got the last year of my degree to finish then full time with the music. Maybe I’ll venture down a route less involved with dance music."

Bluesteady Triptik

Bluesteady Triptik is an italian hiphop project of Bonbooze, GSQ and Irhu. After twelve years of the first experiences together they decided to experiment with beatmaking. Their music ranges from classic hiphop, minimal beats, tribal and future funk to hints of electronica and nu-disco. These beats are fantastic.

Lapalux: Gutter Glitter

I would like to show you a track from Lapalux's When You're Gone, which caught my attention thanks to my cousin. These vocals drive me crazy, absolutely magnificent.

Gemini

Gemini is a young electronic musician from Leicester, UK. His real name is Thomas Slinger, and he is an incredibly talented artist who has found his niche in his respective genre by releasing a slew of consistently impressive tracks with a desire to continually change up his style and always create something new.

He has been going real hard in the paint these last few years, while constantly improving and honing in on his sonic signature since he dropped the monumental debut song called Blue. Gemini has since released the groundbreaking synth-heavy Graduation, and collaborated with Feed Me.

Thomas Slinger’s skills as a piano player and background in classical music are prominent in every single song as he maintains a logical structure and flowing melody in a genre that is known for being chaotic and disorderly. "Dubstep is an incredible and exciting new genre that has a long way to go. There are untouched waters that are to be explored, I intend to do just that." He says in an interview. Also, he never smiles, that’s an important part of his trademark.

I took the liberty of putting here some of his serotonin heightening remixes of artists like Ed Sheeran and Lana Del Rey from his Soundcloud, they're all worth listening to. Well done, Thomas.

Enigma Dubz: You Make Me Feel

James Vine's passion for bass and underground sounds has driven him in the dubstep scene, but he's also influenced by life and emotion, so the music he creates can variate from dark and heavy basslines to atmospheric synths, soundscapes and acoustic work. You Make Me Feel is an airy song with energizing vocals.

Sabrepulse

Sabrepulse is Ashley Charles, a London based musician with a passion for creating diverse electronic music using old and new technology. He has performed over 100 shows to crowds in the USA, Japan, Europe and South America.

He's very famous in the chiptune section of electronic music. If you're new to this genre, here is a short explanation: "Chiptune is synthesized electronic music often produced with the sound chips of vintage computers and video game consoles, as well as with other methods such as emulation."

He became one of those artists whom you can clearly feel the effects of dubstep. His releases are differing tempos, and even slightly experimental time signatures on occasion. In Sabrepulse's newest music the songs flow nice together. I would say that it got closer to conventional electronic dance music. Sabrepulse has done a great job incorporating some other subgenres of electronic music into his work. He has made a massive step forward.

These tracks are from his fresh release called First Crush. Arcanine is my personal favourite, its leading part up to the drop is fantastic. You can read more about him and his live performances here.
