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.
