rainy milo // deal me briefly

With barely a fistful of songs the young neophyte and Neo R&B/Pop princess Rainy Milo is fast becoming quite the prolific artist with yet another release. Check out her latest, the Deal Me Briefly track was produced by down under soul-man Chet Faker and this track sounds a lot more grown up and musically sophisticated than her previous offerings. This one twists and undulates hypnotically through your ears and goads the body to respond likewise. Additional work includes both her Limey and Black & Blonde EPs. Check ’em out. Peace.

osborne // hold up (ft. joe goddard)

The English, i.e. British-accented voice dousing  the lifeblood on Ann Arbor/Detroit producer Todd Osborn’s new single Hold Up is none other than Joe Goddard of Hot Chip fame and fortune.

Hold Up is the most recent music from the Osborn camp since his 2009’s Hovercrafting EP and 2008’s self-titled debut. This one however, comes packed with a remix from Goddard that’s entitled, Joe’s Dub — it is danceable and is suitably furnished with adequate reverb and beats aplenty. Peace.

pretty lights // a color map of the sun + documentary + video


 
If you or anyone you know is a Pretty Lights fan this is the ultimate brass ring of PL fan-dome. For well over two years Pretty Lights (Derek Vincent Smith) spent collecting behind the scene footage from studio sessions across the country with a litany of well known and barely (all talented beyond belief) musicians and vocalists, the project partnered with VICE – and their electronic (EDM) and forward thinking music channel, THUMP – to tell the story of A Color Map of the Sun. Watch the documentary in its entirety here after the jump.
 

 
But as exciting as the documentary is what’s even better is the forthcoming album entitled Live Studio Sessions: from A Color Map of the Sun which contains 13 of the raw unmolested analog tape recordings that were pressed to vinyl in order to sample for the album. , it drops July 2nd. The Live Studio Sessions recordings are on the 2nd disc of the A Color Map of the Sun CD set. Live Studio Sessions will also be included as part of the free download of A Color Map of the Sun via www.prettylightsmusic.com and on the deluxe version of the album in digital music stores.
