Warning! Hot Chip co-founder Alexis Taylor’s “Beautiful Thing” is the artsy Disco heatrock we all deserve to light up this dreary season between Winter and Spring! “Beautiful Thing” is the first single and title track from Taylor’s forthcoming fourth (I guess…his discography is weird) solo album, out April 20th on[…]
I like hearing a new song and getting obsessed with it. One of my latest obsessions is a smoothed out Future Soul jam called “Drink I’m Sippin On” from twentysomething DJ, producer, and vocalist Yaeji. The bass-heavy beat, seductively breathy vocal style, and English/Korean lyrics are ear-grabbing enough. But her[…]
A clique of mean girls get some Carrie-style comeuppance for the emoji generation in the new clip for “Real Life” the fresh new retro House inspired single from UK based producer/DJ Duke Dumont featuring London based production duo Gorgon City and Aussie vocal duo NAATIONS. Dumont, fresh off producing “Swish[…]
Watch a public transportation rider experience initiatory illumination via a sort of music-fueled hallucinatory singularity in the new clip for IDM beatmaker Lusine’s “Just a Cloud”. The downtempo House jam featuring glitchy micro-edited vocals from Vilja Larjosto is from the Seattle-based producer’s ‘Sensorimotor’ LP which is out now via Ghostly[…]
Earlier today I got an excited instant message from a friend asking if I’d seen the new Katy Perry video. I had not. The message came from an individual with whom I’d once engaged in fantasy sex-play involving simulated murder, necrophilia, and anthropophagy. It read, simply, “cannibalism”. The video, for[…]
Considering Aleister Crowley’s Thelemic proclamation that “every man and every woman is a star in 1904’s ‘Liber AL vel Legis’ and the importance of “starry wisdom” and “the stars” being “right” in H.P. Lovecraft’s Cthulhu Mythos it kinda makes sense I’d be feeling French Electro/Techno guy Vitalic’s “Waiting for the[…]
A video featuring a giant space structure and a super sci-fi flavored alien witch-cult for a new millennium take on early ’90s House music is exactly the sort of weirdness I needed from Swedish Synth-Funk outfit Little Dragon right about now. “Safe” is from Little Dragon’s forthcoming fifth LP ‘Season[…]
Yes it’s been months since I posted a new Monday Magick entry. Yes I’m sorry for going away for so long. But my private life has been a mess, and Donald Trump won the presidency, which taken together has sucked a lot of the magick out of my day to[…]
I kind of fronted on Kanye West’s most recent album ‘The Life of Pablo’. Maybe it was all the Gospel inspired tracks I heard the one time I tried to listen to it? Maybe it was the fact that he pulled a George Lucas with it and hasn’t offered a[…]
In the animated video for their House-y new single Australian beatmakers The Avalanches want to take you for a trip. A trip on the “Subways” that is. If the graffiti-inspired imagery in the video is any indication that title is apparently some kind of metaphor for “doin’ it”. “Subways” is from The[…]
I love it when Electronic Dance Music transcends both electronics and its focus on moving butts and exists simply as beautiful music. “Dear Ennui”, a Jazzy, piano-inflected Broken Beat/Garage tune from Hamilton, Ontario-based producer Benjamin Muñoz does both of those things well. And I absolutely love it! The Summery jam[…]
Drugs and sex obsessed emcee Danny Brown is back on his Detroit shit with his thumping new Paul White-produced single “When it Rain”. “When it Rain” is from his as-yet-untitled fourth LP which is due out at some point in the near future. Danny Brown
